Q: i have to turn over possession of the house i live in to the owner tomorrow but there is no time specified
what time do i have to be out by example...8am ,9am?
A:
Under California law, if no specific time is mentioned in the notice or agreement, the tenant is generally expected to vacate the premises and turn over possession to the landlord or owner by the end of the day specified in the notice. This means that you would have until 11:59 PM on the date specified to vacate the property.
However, it is best to communicate with the landlord or owner to clarify expectations and make arrangements for a smooth transition. If possible, try to reach an agreement on a mutually convenient time to hand over the keys and complete the move-out process.
In any case, it is advisable to vacate the property at a reasonable time during the day to avoid any potential misunderstandings or conflicts with the landlord or owner. If you have not already done so, ensure that you have removed all your belongings, cleaned the property, and are ready to hand over the keys as agreed upon.
