60 day notice even after end of lease agreement?

[Michael Kim]

If I have a lease ending at the end of next month and I have no intentions of renewing the lease, do I still have to give a 60 day notice?  Property is in California.  Renters have been there for 2 years.

What do your state laws say?

[Michael Kim]

Im not 100% sure which is why I am asking.  Law says i need to give 60 day notice but it appears that applies to tenants on a month to month lease.  What I am asking is if the lease ends, do I still need to give a notice or can it be assumed that once the lease is over I do not need to give any notice.

I can't speak to CA laws, but why wouldn't you give them as much notice as possible?  I was a renter at many places before I bought my own home and NEVER assumed that, just because my lease was ending, it meant I had to move out if no one had said anything to me either way.

In my own leases, it's in writing that it automatically converts to a month-to-month when the lease term has ended.
