The Landlord wants me to Evacuate (help!)

(California State) I have been renting this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home for the past 4 years. Myself, husband, son, and 2 daughters. Primarily, the house was under another landlords name. Then, he sold it to one of his family members (a year ago) and decided to still have it for rent, so we decided to stay. But now, he wants us to evacuate the house because he has put it up for sale. There's already a buyer, but we cannot find a place or house that we can afford to rent. What are my rights in this case? Can I fight it? What is there for me to do?

Hint: This house is actually a 3 bedroom home with 2 bathrooms, but the first landlord decided to separate the other bedroom and restroom with a wall, so that he can rent it (is that legal)

- Please help ... thanks

US Law Only - WHEN POSTING A QUESTION, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR STATE

and do you have a Lease ?

YO, Rubi-Tuesday,

You need to answer Sir Blonde's question about if you are on a lease or not.

If you are on a lease, stay tuned for more options.

If you are month to month, you have thirty days to leave after proper written notice is given to you.(It used to be sixty if you lived in a place more than two years but that just changed this year.)


Moving really bites, but you had better start looking more aggressively.

Sorry Charlie.

60-Day Eviction Notice Law Expires on December 31, 2005

On January 1, 2006, for tenants who have resided in the premises for one year or more, landlords who wish to terminate that tenancy are no longer required to give 60-days notice, but only 30-days notice. Civil Code section 1946.1, which required the 60-day notice, was to remain in effect beyond this date only if legislation were passed to extend it. However, such legislation was not passed and, therefore, the notice requirement reverts back to the prior law requiring 30-days notice. Please note that references to the 60-day eviction notice requirement in California Tenants - A Guide to Residential Tenants_ and Landlords_ Rights and Responsibilities (Page 33-34) are no longer correct beginning January 1, 2006.

Get thee to a Ralph's or Albertsons Rubi... sorry you are moving and need the boxes. Unless you can negotiate with the landlord for some more time. You do not want to be a hold-over tenant and get an unlawful detainer filed on you.

Hello, the only thing to save our poor Rubi is if she has some kind of subsidised housing that she did not mention.

All questions answered, thread is dead.
