Can I be evicted if I have paid my rent in advance?
Full Question:
Answer:
A three days notice is not appropriate unless the tenant is in violation of the
terms of the lease. Normally, the amount of advance written notice that
the landlord gives the tenant to change the terms of the tenancy must be
the same as the length of time between rent payments. However, he
landlord and tenant can specifically agree in writing to a shorter amount of
notice (a shorter notice period). A landlord and a tenant who have a month-
to-month rental agreement might agree to 10 days’ advance written notice
for a change in the terms of the agreement (other than the rent). This
would allow the landlord, for example, to increase the charge for parking or
end the tenancy by giving the tenant 10 days’ advance written notice.
Similarly, the tenant could end the tenancy by giving the landlord 10 days’
advance written notice. The notice period agreed to by the landlord and the
tenant can never be shorter than seven days.
