Once you are on a month to month lease can they hold you to the original lease terms in regards to apartment?

Question

State: California LA rent control area. My lease expired in March of 2007 after that I have been moved to a month to month lease. However, in my original lease the landlord requested a 60 days notice to terminate my tenancy. After I moved to a month to month, can I only provide 30 days and not be held accountable? I'm not sure how the law reads and would love a little feedback. Please let me know.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You are only entitled to give 30 days written notice on a month to month lease. Our lease is for 6 month after which the lease will roll over into a month to month lease in which the same terms will be applied. Even during our lease we are only required to give 30 days notice.

Answer 2

Once a lease expires, regardless of the term (6 months, 12 months, whatever), it automatically reverts to a month-to-month lease, unless it is renewed in writing. Therefore, the tenant is only required to give 30 days notice to vacate. Conversely, the landlord is only required to give 30 days notice to evict.
