How many days in advance do I give my tenant a notice of non-renewal of lease in Long Beach, CA with no rent control?

Any lease question necessarily involves analysis of the written lease. Assuming that the written lease does not speak to this issue, then more information is needed: 1.) when did this tenancy begin, and 2.) what kind of tenancy was it at that point? Generally I can tell you the following: At the end of a fixed term, the tenancy expires automatically, without any notice (barring, of course, exercise of an express option to renew or extend). [CC § 1933.] Nevertheless it is a good idea to give your tenant a a "courtesy notice" a reasonable period in advance. You don't want to have to evict if you don't have to. In contrast, "periodic" (e.g. month-to-month) leases may be terminated by minimum 30 days' notice before expiration of the stated term, if the tenant has resided for less than one year. [CC § 1946.] However, CC § 1946.1 requires that a residential nonfixed-term tenant who has resided in the unit for at least one year, be given at least 60 days' notice of termination. [CC § 1946.1(b),(h).] Different rules may apply for Section 8 tenants.
