Q: I was just served a Non renewal for my lease on June 7th.

A: I understand your confusion and frustration in this situation. Let me provide some clarity based on California rental laws.

Firstly, if your lease ended on June 1st, 2024, and your landlord did not provide any prior notice, your tenancy would typically automatically convert to a month-to-month agreement under the same terms as your original lease.

Regarding the notice period, in California, if a tenant has lived in a property for more than one year, the landlord must provide at least 60 days' notice to terminate the tenancy. The notice you received on June 7th, 2024, giving you 60 days to move out, appears to be in line with this requirement.

However, you mentioned that the landlord intends to sell the property. In this case, the Just Cause Eviction Protections under AB 1482 might apply. This law requires landlords to provide a valid reason for eviction, and the sale of a property can be a valid reason only if the owner has entered into a contract with a buyer who intends to occupy the property. If this is the case, the owner must provide a written notice of this intent.

Your next steps should be:

1. Review your lease agreement carefully for any specific terms related to lease termination and notice periods.

2. Request written clarification from your landlord about their reason for not renewing your lease and their intent to sell.

3. Determine if your unit is covered under AB 1482. Generally, it applies to most properties more than 15 years old, but there are some exceptions, such as single-family homes owned by individuals (not corporations) who own no more than 10 properties.

4. If you believe your landlord has not followed proper procedures, consider consulting with a local tenant rights organization or a landlord-tenant attorney to understand your options.

Remember, while the landlord may have the right to terminate your tenancy, they must follow proper legal procedures in doing so.
