Is it ilegal for tenant not give landlord a 30 day notice on a month to month contract?

Stipulated Judgment
We were in UD action when we
refused to pay rent to landlord who
rented us house in foreclosure with
sale now being stayed by BK. She
offered rent credit of $1,000 and
equity share with match for bringing
new students to her real estate
wealth classes, but there were no
classes. Rent was $1,000 more than
we could afford. First judge ordered
rent held in atty trust acct and
cont’d 2 wks while atty checked title
for standing. Got new judge and
ordered rent released, even though
our atty wanted okay from BK
trustee. We agreed to pay bal of
$1,000 for July plus $1,000 for 5
days, which is twice what was due,
and enter new straight rental agmt
with no bogus credits or equity
share. Now that she has Stip, she’s
decided no new agmt. Are we
obligated to pay more rent than we
owe based on Stip? Can we appeal
Stip since she did not renegotiate in
good faith? If I stop payment on
check can she just evict? Does email
saying I don’t want to do new agmt
qualify as 30-day notice? Original
agmt was month to month, even
though we wanted min 1yr lease.
She said it was because someone
had tied up her property for 9 mos.
Later learned that house was also in
foreclosure.

Renter Not payint rent
I have rented out one of my rooms for over a year and have decided to no longer rent. We originally did a 6 month contract and since then it has been a month to month rental. I gave the tenant 60 days notice. She later told me that she should would not pay this month’s rent because she was paying an extra 25 dollars for the past few months and that would cover half the rent. (She did volunteer the 25, but it was to help cover Utility Bills). I then asked her if she was planning on paying the other half. She said ”no”, because my lawyer said I may not have to because I am disabled and may be able to live in your house for free. My question: I am in California. How long do I have to wait until I issue a 3 day notice to pay or move out? Can I issue one? Does she have a right to consider the extra 25 dollars as rent money? The increase was never put in writing. And…is it possible for her to live in my house for free?

Help with termination notice
i have had problems with renting from my grandma. it’s a coverted garage thats not a legal residence. it has a bathroom and kitchen and a small loft big enough to sleep on. i have delt with the broken down truck in my driveway that i was promised would be removed. we have been here since sept. or october. also she had some of her personal belonging in our yard. she has given us a termination of tenancy to leave in 30 days. we have a month to month lease. can she make us leave with out a good reason? and what reasons would be good reason? she also told my brother she wanted to raise our rent so we’d move out, so she could in turn raise the rent even higher. is that legal ? thanks for all your help

Selling of house with renters and landlords…
My wife died and i put our house up for rent and me and my tenants are on a month to month lease and i have told them the house will be put in someone elses name. If these is the new owneres house to live in once the paperes are signed over would the new owner have the right to give a 24-72hr notice to vacate the property?
