A:
To re-occupy your property at the end of the lease, start by reviewing the current lease agreement for any specific terms regarding termination and renewal. Since your tenants have been residing there for six years, California law typically requires you to provide at least 60 days' notice to terminate the tenancy when the lease is month-to-month or if the lease term is over a year. Ensure that your notice clearly states the end date and the reason for termination, if necessary.
Next, serve the notice properly according to Los Angeles County regulations. You can deliver the notice in person or by certified mail to ensure there is a record of delivery. It's important to follow these legal requirements carefully to avoid any potential disputes or delays. Maintain open communication with your tenants throughout this process to help facilitate a smooth transition.
As the lease end approaches, prepare the property for your son and fiancée’s move-in by addressing any maintenance or repairs needed. Conduct a final inspection with your tenants to document the property’s condition and handle the return of the security deposit in accordance with California laws. By following these steps, you can efficiently transition the property back into your family’s use while respecting the rights of your long-term tenants.
