## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Residential Tenancies](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Extract the date of service, the stated ground, the cure language, the vacate date, and any relocation or rent-waiver sentence. Set each beside the statute the lawyer names. Do not say the notice is valid. |
| What the lawyer must review | Landlord-tenant notice rules are state and local law. In California, after 12 months of continuous lawful occupation Civil Code § 1946.2 requires just cause stated in the written notice, with a different 24-month trigger if adult tenants are added. A curable lease violation needs a chance to cure before a three-day notice to quit. A no-fault notice must offer relocation assistance or a rent waiver equal to one month's rent, paid or stated within the times in the section, and a failure to comply strictly renders that notice void. Exemptions are in the same section. Other states do not use this text. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Extract the date of service, the stated ground, the cure language, the vacate date, and any relocation or rent-waiver sentence. Set each beside the statute the lawyer names. Do not say the notice is valid.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- 15 U.S.C. § 9058(b) barred certain nonpayment filings for 120 days beginning 27 March 2020. Read § 9058(c)'s 30-day notice text against the current cases before you rely on it.
- Do not use an Australian termination ground, notice period, or tribunal form.
