Notice to Terminate Lease due to Sale of Property
You can give a 30-day notice if ALL of the following are true:
- The landlord has contracted to sell the rental unit to another person who intends to occupy it for at least a year after the tenancy ends.
- The landlord must have opened escrow with a licensed escrow agent or real estate broker, and
- The landlord must have given 30-day notice no later than 120 days after opening escrow, and
- The landlord must not previously have given you a 30-day or 60-day notice, and
- The rental unit must be one that can be sold separately from any other dwelling unit. (For example, a house or a condominium can be sold separately from another dwelling unit.)
Notice to Terminate a Periodic Lease – Month-to-Month
The landlord is required to give a 30-day notice. Tenant is required to give a 30-day notice.

Notice to Terminate Tenancy – Fixed End Date in Lease
No notice is needed as the lease simply expires. It is recommended giving a 60-day notice anyway. I also recommend having the tenant sign an addendum to the lease requiring that the tenant notify the landlord 30 days prior to the end of the lease. This way the landlord will know whether they will prepare to market the property for rent.
