When a landlord wishes to discontinue a tenancy, they can serve the tenant with a Notice of Termination 威而鋼
or Cancellation. This may occur in any of these circumstances:
- The lease is ending and the landlord does not wish to renew.
- The tenancy is month-to-month and the landlord wants to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant.
- The landlord claims that the tenant violated the terms of the lease.
- The tenant has repeatedly failed to pay rent
Once the landlord has served a Notice to Terminate or Cancellation, the tenant must vacate the property by the date given, or he/she will be considered a holdover tenant. Thereafter, the landlord will sue the tenant by serving a notice of Notice of Petition and Petition. If the landlord accepts rent after the termination/cancelation date, he/she has effectively changed the situation to a month-to-month tenancy.
Receiving a Notice to Terminate or Cancellation can cost you time, money, and inconvenience, especially if it violates your original lease terms.
