Renter’s Rights
The new 60-day notice to terminate tenancy takes effect January 1, 2007.
As of that date, with some exceptions, when an owner/agent wants to
terminate a tenancy for any resident(s) who have resided on the property
for one year or longer, the owner must provide a 60-day notice of termination.
This new statute provides that if a new roommate moves in with the initial
tenant(s), the one-year clock starts anew.
