California 30 Day Notice to Quit Form

California 30 Day Notice To Quit is a notice to evacuate the rented property within the allocated notice period. This 30 Day Notice To Quit is pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1946. The landlord or the authorized agent of the landlord is in capability to serve the notice to the tenant.

Both the landlord and the authorized agent are authorized to take possession of the property from the tenant within or on the thirtieth day of serving the notice to the tenant. However, state law allows former tenants reclaiming abandoned personal property under certain rules and operating directives. The institution of legal proceedings is possible upon inability to vacate the said property within or on the thirtieth day of serving the notice. The notice addresses the tenant as well as all others in the possession of the property to evacuate the same as demanded in the notice.

This Thirty (30) Day Notice To Quit also serves for the forfeiting of the tenancy and rent agreement. Serving the notice and failure to evacuate the premises within the stated limit of the notice attracts recovery of damages out of unlawful detention of the said property.

“State law permits former tenants to reclaim abandoned personal property left at the former address of
the tenant, subject to certain conditions. You may or may not be able to reclaim property without
incurring additional costs, depending on the cost of storing the property and the length of time before it
is reclaimed. In general, these costs will be lower the sooner you contact your former landlord after
being notified that property belonging to you was left behind after you moved out.”
