We have a friend of the family who recently was widowed. Her late husband handled all the business and now she is left to struggle through it all herself. My father is attempting to help her but no one has been able to answer this question. I hope someone here can answer or send me in the right direction. The woman (widow) has some rental property in which the rent hasnt been raised in over 5 yrs. Legally how much advance warning must she give the tenants and how is the notification to be given (verbal vs certified mail?) Also, is there something the written notification must reflect? If there is a lease, must she wait until the lease expires ? If it is a month to month lease, can she just give them a 30 day notice ? Someone told them they must give the tenants a 60 day notice. Also, the landlord is presently paying the utilities but now wants the tenant to pay for part of the utilities. What are the laws/rules governing this type of situation? The houses are all in the state of California. Thanks....
