It's not fancy, it just has a couple more fields so the tenant isn't confused as to what to do. At least that's what it looks like to me but I understand what you're saying. I did see many "fancy" ones that I didn't download. They listed lots of things that didn't apply with boxes to check etc.. In CA if you have a room rental the law specifically states if you rent 2 rooms and the landlord lives in the property and shares a bathroom or restroom that this is exempt from the "just cause" reason to terminate a tenancy. I was thinking that meant to reason needs to be specified but sounds like "just cause" and "reason" are 2 different things. "irreconcilable differences" could that be a reason? Below is the part of the law that exempts me from part of the law. I was thinking that was the "just cause" part also. Thanks for your help. I know I keep not understanding it exactly as I should.
Edit: had to edit since I wasn't allowed to exceed more than 5 posts in 24 hours.
That's sound advice thank you. Not that you need to read anything below but this was what I was reading in case anyone else was wondering. Thanks again
