On Aug. 22, I gave notice to a housemate vacate on Oct. 1. He has been living here since FEb. 1, 2007. Our original agreement was for 3 months with option to extend month to month thereafter. We never revisited this contract, and he is still here.
He claims the 60-day notice (due to more than one-year of tenancy) also applies to him.
