Under CA landlord tenant laws does a landlord need to give tenant notice of home sale

Asked over 3 years ago - San Jose, CA

I am in a lease agreement with the tenant in California until Dec 2009, but I lost my job and need to put the house on the market to try and sell or short sell. If I can not sell then I will have to deed in leiu the house back to the lender. I need to know what to do about the fact that we are in a lease agreement together, how much notice do I give her, etc...

I could be wrong on this. But I think your tenant can stay untill the lease is up. You can however sell your property to anyone, as long as they are aware that there is a tenant and the terms. I would advertise it as rental property with a proven income.
There may be one exception to this in that a lease may only be good for 1 year. But even at that you would have to make sure your tenant gets a full year.
I am not a lawyer and I do not live in CA. but i think it is pretty standard everywhere.
