California - End Month to Month Lease

Alex Hernandez
  • Los Angeles, CA
Posted

I recently purchased a triplex in Los Angeles with one rental unit well below market rents. $300 below market.

On a month to month lease what options do I have if any to get them up to market under the strict rent stabilization ordinances?

Can I renew the lease with market rent after proper notice? Does that violate the rent cap increase limits?

Can I end the lease with a 60 day notice? If so do I need a “just cause”?

I’m willing to keep the tenant if the rent came up to market rents but he insinuated they wouldn’t pay more so I’m willing to get the tenants removed.

Thank you for your assistance.

I highly recommend you purchase "Every Landlord's Legal Guide - California Edition" by NOLO. It has all the laws for your state, updated regularly, and comes full of practical advice about marketing, screening, leases, evictions, and more. It's the best money you'll spend as a Landlord.
