Notice to Terminate Lease due to Sale of Property

You can give a 30-day notice if ALL of the following are true:

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 Any Periodic Lease of a Year or More

If ALL tenants have lived there longer than a year, the landlord is required to give a 60-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.
