Q: At the end of a lease, how much time does an owner need to give the renter before they want the tenant out.
I was given a 60 day notice of the end of lease with two options- continue with a new 6 month lease with added $45.00/mo or continue on a month-to-month at an additional $100.00/mo- in October, 2019. My lease is up Dec 13th. Today, Nov. 8th I got a notice to be OUT by Dec, 13th. Is this legal?
A: This depends on the terms of the lease, and the length of time you have been a tenant. It could be 30 or 60 days. First, check your lease. My guess is it will be 30 days notice, which would be consistent with the laws if it is given before the lease expires. If the notice is given /after/ the lease expires (which it sounds like it hasn't), then it is 30 days if you have been renting less then a year and 60 if you have been renting more than a year.
