Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
30 days
60 days
B (60 days) is incorrect because it applies only to month-to-month tenancies that have lasted one year or more in California. Students often confuse these two notice periods.
90 days
C (90 days) is incorrect as California does not require 90 days' notice for any standard month-to-month tenancy. This duration is not specified in California landlord-tenant law.
3 days
D (3 days) is incorrect as this is typically the notice period for non-payment of rent in California, not for terminating a tenancy. Students may confuse different types of notices required under landlord-tenant law.
Why is this correct?
A is correct because California Civil Code section 1946.1 specifically requires landlords to give 30 days' notice to terminate month-to-month tenancies that have lasted less than one year. This notice period provides tenants with adequate time to find alternative housing.
