Hello,
I live in California and currently have a tenant renting out my home. He was in a long term lease that ended in March and rolled into a month to month. On August 4th, I let him know that I would be selling the house and offered assistance with finding him new housing. On August 21st I received and accepted an offer on the property and sent him a 30 day lease termination letter. The termination date was for September 30th. There is a clause in his rental contract stating that I can give a 30 day notice if I sell the house.
Unfortunately the offer fell out of escrow due to an uncomfortable interaction between my tenant and the buyer during her inspection. In the meantime I would appreciate any information on the following:
*Is the 30 day notice I sent previously still valid if the house fell out of escrow?
*Do I need to send a new notice to terminate the lease with a 60 day notice because he has lived in the house over 1 year and the house is not in escrow?
*What if I enter into contract with another offer? Do I need to stick to the 60 day notice or can I reissue a 30 day notice due to the sale of the house?
Also, I've tried to be accommodating and respectful of my tenants privacy and letting him set the schedule of when showings can happen. The previous offer came in sight unseen so we were lucky to have no one tour the home before accepting an offer. My tenant will only allow showings on Mondays and Tuesdays and my agent is feeling challenged with moving forward unless we can show on a weekend day. What are my rights here if my tenant may be impeding the sale of the house?
Thank you all for any information you might have,
Dan
