Q: My family has a duplex property in Mountain View, California that has been rented out for at least 10 years.
Both spaces are being rented out at the moment. We would like to terminate the lease of one of the tenants that was living at the property before my parents even bought the place. The last written lease was done a long time ago and since there is no formal written lease. I am wondering how many days would be enough to give notice to the tenants to move out? What I am to believe is that the lease is considered month to month and 30-60 days notice is sufficient. Please help advise. Thanks
A: Normally, it is 60 days, but with the Corona Virus going on, you may have to wait for 60 days to find out whether the Courts will reopen soon and allow you to proceed. Best of luck.
