Cost of getting a notice wrong?
What if you miss a timeframe and issue a notice wrong? In my case I issued a rent increase and payment date change notice 34 days beforehand.
Turns out the state of California allows 10% increase with a 30 day notice. Above the 10% needs 60 days. (I know things are changing and read the new law. We fall under the single family exemption.)
I didn't know that in California about this + five days if delivered by mail rule.
The increase sent my renter into a fit and they didn't pay all the rent telling me I can't increase it that much. In return after getting yelled at I sent a 60 day termination letter.
If this goes to court latter about the increase needing the extra 5 days because it was issued by mail then what?
The termination letter was sent with the 5 days added and telling the renter for the time remaining the rent will not increase.
