Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Unless you are being discriminated against based on a protected classification, such as race, gender, having kids, etc., or for having asserted tenants rights, you have no basis to fight a termination of a month-to-month tenancy. If you have a lease that is not supposed to end before the 60-days, that is a different story, but on month-to-month, 60-days notice is all that is required to force a tenant out. It sounds like the manager doesn't like you, if she is talking negatively about you to other tenants. Unfortunately, unless you live in a big city that has rent and eviction control ordinances, a landlord or manager has every right to terminate the tenancy of a tenant they just don't like. She does, however, have to give you the full 60-days and she can't make you put in a 30-day notice to shorten that time.
