Re: 30 day notice to quit

the 30 day notice is the correct method in this situation. You may have a defense as a property right holder if you had an implied or written or oral partnership agreement.

Re: 30 day notice to quit

I assume what your partner meant was an eviction notice to move out!! Now these cases are controlled by the Marvin v. Marvin line of cases. If domestic partners have entered into an oral or written contract to split property, own 1/2 of everything they buy during the union, etc., it would be wise to file a lawsuit to get your 1/2 interest of the property.

Re: 30 day notice to quit

Whether your "partner" can give you a 30 day notice depends upon who owns the property. If your "partner" owns it, then a 30-day notice might work. If you and your partner own the property, your partner cannot simply give you a 30-day notice, and cannot win an unlawful detainer action against you (an eviction action). If you and your partner are renting or leasing the property, and both of you are tenants of the landlord, then the only person that could give the 30-day notice would be your landlord, not your "partner." In either case, the only way to legally force you to leave, is through a lawsuit filed against you.

Moreover, you should probably speak with a family law attorney to determine what your rights and remedies might be. Although you have not been married, you do rights similar to married persons who get a divorce. The sooner you speak with a family law attorney, the better off you will be.
