Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Termination of rental agreement

My tenant and I have a verbal, month-to-month rental agreement. He has rented my house for over 8 yrs.

I wish to re-occupy the premises and terminate the rental agreement. What kind of written notice is required and how many days? (I am the owner of the house and property)

You need to give a 60 day notice as long as you don't live in a city which has a rent control ordinance. We can help you with an eviction should you need it.
