Is 30 day notice required after a 60 day?

[BSJM]

What is the name of your state? ca
After receiving a 60 day notice to vacate a rented room, is it required to give a 30 day notice?

Ya mean like a countdown?

Then we have a 15 and a 10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, and...you're outta here.

Nope...60 day, then a UD action if you don't vacate...

but i like JALM's scenario....it'll take 6 months that way...LOL

Forgive me, I was trying to keep it short. I'll elaborate a bit. My sister in law rents a house. Her name is the only one on the lease with the owner. She has given 2 tenants a 60 day notice to vacate as the rooms will no longer be available for rent. She intends to occupy the whole house. The tenants are now saying that they may have a new place to live that will be ready for them to move into in the next 2 weeks. My question is "Do they have to give her a written 30 day notice and do they have any right to a prorated refund if less than 30 days is given?"

of course I was joking but now that you return with new info, we are in a totally different situation than seemed apparent.

they could terminate the lease in less than the 60 days notice your sis gave but they would need to follow california (or local. I here there are some very specific local ordinances out there sometimes) laws.

What if the landlord has given you a 60-day notice, but you want to leave sooner? You can give the landlord the same amount of notice as there are days between rent payments (for example, 30 days'’ notice if you pay rent monthly) provided that -

The amount of your notice is at least as long as the number of days between rent payments, and
Your proposed termination date is before the landlord's termination date.182d

so, it would seem that the tenant could terminate the lease sooner but no sooner than 30 days, which they would be responsible for the rent payments for that time. if they leave in 2 weeks, they would still owe for a full 30 days.

I did not see a requirement it be in writing but that is fairly typical and the only way to have any proof of proper timing.

Now that's the kind of advice I was hoping for. Thanks for the quality advice without the all-to-common sarcasm I've noticed here. Your advice and the link are greatly appreciated.

[CA LL]

It is clearly written into the code that if a LL gives a 60 day the tenant is free to give a 30 day and only be obligated for the literal 30 days (no less though) of rent if they indeed move out at the end of that 30 day they in turn gave to the LL.
