Currently, most landlords are required to give just 30 days' notice, the state minimum, when terminating a lease or raising rent. If landlords don't follow the rules, tenants could be owed an amount up to three months rent as well as actual damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs, according to city documents.

If you have a lease for more than 30 days (e.g. 1-year lease), your rent cannot be increased during the term of the lease, unless the lease allows rent increases. If you have a periodic rental agreement (month-to-month), your landlord can increase your rent, but must give you proper advance notice in writing.o end a periodic rental agreement (month-to-month), a tenant must give the landlord proper written notice before vacating. If you pay rent monthly, you must give at least 30 days advance notice. If you pay rent weekly, you must give at least 7 days advance notice. (Civil Code Section 1946).
