I happen to know you are talking about an apartment complex in Fresno, California.A large scale eviction will have one of three causes:Bankruptcy or death of the landlord, without a continuity plan through the estate planning and the current management agencyRemediation of a serious health problem, black mold, asbestos, or toxic materials would all qualify as reasonsAn Ellis eviction is being used to repurpose the property, and the landlord is u201cgoing out of businessu201dItu2019s likely not #2, since the place would be condemned, and there wouldnu2019t have been a 60 day notice.Itu2019s also unlikely to be #1, since that usually requires a payment to get the people to move, especially given the job the questioner has makes it highly likely that some of the people being evicted are Section 8 housing.So Iu2019m going to guess an Ellis Act eviction.The answer is: yes, itu2019s legal for them to give 60 days notice, however, if you move out prior to that, if theyu2019ve notified you, itu2019s because they have to, and if itu2019s an Ellis Act, you are not required to maintain occupancy for 60 days.And given the size of that particular complex, the quicker you find some place, the more likely you are to avoid competing with everyone else whou2019s trying to find a new place at the last minute.If you are on a month to month in California, you only have to give the landlord 30 days notice.This may actually be suspended in the case of an Ellis, additionally, since they are claiming u201cout of businessu201d, if itu2019s an Ellis, then thereu2019s not going to be a legal entity to sue you.By the same token: there may not be one to return your security deposit, either.My take on this: if itu2019s an Ellis eviction, then they donu2019t have a right to the expectation of rent until the last minute.By the same token: donu2019t expect to be paid relocation.
