There is the ‘Pay Rent or Quit Notice’ which covers the tenant not paying rent and which requires a 3-5 day period to pay before evicting.
There is the ‘Cure or Quit Notice’ which is used for agreement violations and can be enacted after a period to cure the violation has lapsed.
There is the ‘Unconditional Quit Notice’ which covers repeated and severe violations and means immediate eviction.
Terminations without cause are given a 30-60 day notice. Tenants can contest eviction. If the landlord wins a lawsuit, he may keep possessions for unpaid rent but he cannot throw the tenant out.
Obtaining the help of a Santa Monica Realtor for help managing you Santa Monica apartment building is strongly advised. There are some very complex and arbitrary laws set by the Santa Monica Rent Control Board that are even more strict than the rest of Los Angeles.
