[RPPTL LandTen] House Bill

Thu Oct 6 12:23:27 PDT 2011

By that logic, you could argue that tenants won’t pay their rent in the final month of a written lease because they know it’s ending. Is that really endemic?

The increase from 15 to 30 days is a common-sense change that would benefit both parties. When the tenant is the one terminating, the landlord would have more time to arrange for another tenant before the income stream actually ends.

And while 15 days may not be a lot of time for a landlord, it is extremely little time for a tenant to look for and find other available housing, go through the necessary application/approval procedures, and accomplish the physical move. Giving so little time has always been a recipe for more litigation.

I particularly don’t like the change on month-to-month tenancies from 15 to 30 days….This is inviting Tenants not to pay their last month’s rent, forces Landlord’s to use security deposits and then not have any funds in the event of damage by the Tenant after move-out.
