Unlawful detainer: notice to terminate tenancy.

Senator Wahab's legislation extends California's notice period for tenants facing eviction due to unpaid rent from 3 days to 14 days, excluding weekends and judicial holidays. The measure modifies existing unlawful detainer procedures by requiring landlords to provide tenants additional time to remedy rent defaults before initiating eviction proceedings.

The bill maintains current requirements for notice content while preserving landlords' ability to serve notices within one year of rent becoming due. Notices must specify the amount owed, payment methods, and contact information for rent collection. For properties with subtenants, landlords must serve notices to both primary tenants and subtenants. The provisions take effect February 1, 2025, applying to all residential tenancies except those explicitly excluded under Civil Code Section 1940(b).
