    Question How Does Rent Work with 30 Days Notice

    State of California

    Verbal month to month lease

    If rent is paid on the 1st for 30 days to come, how does rent work with a 30 days notice.

    Example:
    August 1st full rent is paid
    August 15th 30 days notice is given


    September 1st - Is the full rent due for September or just the prorated amount up till September 15th?

    Thank You!

    Notice should be given at the beginning of the rental period. A 30 day notice in this case should be given prior or on Aug 1 with a Sept 1 vacate date.

    That's not correct for California. As is explained here,
    Quote Quoting Rent After Giving Notice
    You must give the landlord the same amount of notice as there are days between rent payments. This means that if you pay rent monthly, you must give the landlord written notice at least 30 days before you move. If you pay rent every week, you must give the landlord written notice at least seven days before you move. This is true even if the landlord has given you a 60-day notice to end the rental agreement and you want to leave sooner (see Landlord's notice to end a periodic tenancy.)

    To avoid later disagreements, date the notice, state the date that you intend to move, and make a copy of the notice for yourself. It's best to deliver the notice to the landlord or property manager in person, or mail it by certified mail with return receipt requested. (You can also serve the notice by one of the methods described under "Proper Service of Notices".)

    You can give the landlord notice any time during the rental period, but you must pay full rent during the period covered by the notice. For example, say you have a month-to-month rental agreement, and pay rent on the first day of each month. You could give notice any time during the month (for example, on the tenth). Then, you could leave 30 days later (on the tenth of the following month, or earlier if you chose to). But you would have to pay rent for the first 10 days of the next month whether you stay for those 10 days or move earlier. (Exception: You would not have to pay rent for the entire 10 days if you left earlier, and the landlord rented the unit to another tenant during the 10 days, and the new tenant paid rent for all or part of the 10 days.)

    CA law does NOT require you to give notice at the beginning of a rental period. 30 days can be given at any time.

    If you gave notice on 8/15. You only owe rent until 9/15.
