California Resident. I have resided at my current apartment for 6 years total, at 3 years under the new owner. I am on a month-to-month renter's agreement and about year ago, my landlord mailed me a new contract to sign stating an increase in the monthly rent. I never signed the new contract. About a month or two ago, my landlord sent me a notice in the mail stating a 21% increase since the rate was not increased the year prior. I fell short of about a couple hundred dollars for this month's rent, but provided a letter of explaination as well as the majority of the rent portion in the form of a post dated check and requested that we make arrangements for the difference including fees. My landlord responded by returning my check along with a 3-day notice to vacate the unit. Can he do this? Don't I get 60 days since I've rented the apartment for more than one year?
