How to Give Notice & Move into Tenant Occupied Property - Oakland
Hi Everybody!
I just closed on my first property today! I'm super excited! Anyway...
It's a tenant occupied duplex in Oakland CA. Both units are occupied. Anyone with experience doing this in oakland CA, my question is for you:
How exactly do I go about giving the tenant notice to move out, so that I can move into their unit and live there?
Some follow up questions:
- If the tenant moves voluntarily after getting the 60 day notice, is that technically an "owner move-in eviction"or does it NOT fall under the definition of an OMI until I file some kind of legal paperwork? In the case where the tenant leaves voluntarily after 60 day notice, am I obligated to live in that unit for 3 years?
- What exactly does that 60 day notice look like? Is there a form online somewhere I need to use? Does anyone have an example form or letter they can post for me to use? Obviously, I would use at my own risk, and need to consult an attorney for legal advice. Hey, direct message me if you don't want to post publicly.
- What happens if the tenant fights me on me wanting to move in? I legitimately intend to move into this place, right now I'm living on my mom's couch. Not fun. Is there some specific legal filing I need to start on? What are the general steps from 60 day notice on down the line in an owner move-in eviction process?
I'm really excited about starting on this RE investment journey, and grateful for any help!
Cheers! :)
