what do i do if i receive a 60 day notice? without cause?

Question

hello i need some advice i live in the city of Los Angeles the lanlord just gave all 4 units a 60 days notice to move out but the problem is that he dosent state a cause on the notice i have 2 babies and there 5&3 yrs of age is it possible that i can get what they call relocation money? i have been at this property for 4years i dont think its fair that hes doing this what should i do next?

Answer 1

He does not need to give you a reason or more than 60 days. It sounds like he may be converting to condos as normally they only have to give 30 days. The only thing you really can do is find another place. Barring a current lease agreement the landlord is not bound to continue to rent to anyone.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, he's totally within his rights -- I think he has 90 days if you're on Section 8 housing benefits, but that's about all you can get.
The best that you can do is beat him to it and put in a 30-day notice, then leave after 30 days and leave that jerk with an empty, no-rent-earning apartment for 30 days.
Since he obviously owns the property, he has the right to notice all of the tenants with 60 days, and he's probably selling it. You're actually doing pretty good, if he had sold the property last year, you would only have 30 days to move out. You can probably file with the Department of Housing for assistance in moving or in finding a new apartment.

Answer 3

You received a 60 day notice and you are complaining. Your landlord does not have to give a reason. You got a fair notice. I would use my time wisely and start looking for a new home.

Answer 4

If you are not on a lease he is not doing anything wrong.
However in order to terminate the terms of a lease he generally needs some form of legal standing.


60 days notice is the prescribed amount of time to give notice to vacate when there is no legally binding contract.
