Tenant - 30 Day notice?

[347Mike]

I am having a brain fart. Does the thirty day notice you give to your tenant have to be on the first of the month or can I give one mid-month?

[YALE]

What does the lease say?

[347Mike]

What does the lease say?

No lease. It is a month to month basis with a very high level outline.

[SEB]

Pretty sure you have to give him a written notice dated

Dang. What SEB said.

[347Mike]

So when I give notice it doesn't matter what day of the month it is, as long as it is written?

[Hmbre97]

Should just be 30 days. Then when rent is due next month, just have them pay the prorated amount from the 1st til the move-out date.

This is what I figured but wanted to have some assurance. That is what happened when they moved in, but wasn't sure about terminating..

This! I had to go through this once

They can always say no and make you have to go the eviction route.

So I gave him notice last night, verbally.

I am looking online for written notices and everything I have looked at only has my signature on it, not his. What is the point of this if he has no signature and I don't have a copy with his signature? Will an email outlining our conversation, move out dates, remaining rent etc be sufficient?

I'm glad you never had to kick me out.

[Geor!]

Is he turning your basement into an opium den, Mike?

Send it certified, as proof that it was recieved.

We live in the same house. It seems silly to send him a letter in the mail just for it to come right back here or his second address that he doesn't frequent.

If I send him an email, and he acknowledges it, then there shouldn't be any way to dispute that, yes?

I guess I am pushing for email because I will have receipt of the exchange.

Every single written notice I see does not have his sign off - which will not show an ounce of proof he received it. Yes, I could go certified I suppose but his mail goes to another address that a) he doesn't go to very often and b) would take weeks to get it.
