The Tenant, however, must provide you with a copy of a restraining order, police report, or a statement from a qualified third party who bases their statement on information received while acting in a professional capacity as domestic violence counselors, sexual assault counselors, or human trafficking caseworkers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51bf2201 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51bf2201\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Q2.

Fixed term tenancies expire by their own terms and the tenants must vacate by the expiration date. If the tenants fail to vacate by the expiration date you may file an unlawful detainer action on the first day following the end date of the lease. However, if you accept rent after the expiration date of the lease, the lease is now converted to a month to month tenancy which would require notice. NOTE: HRH advises to provide the tenant with a \u201cnotice of non-renewal of the lease\u201d if you want the tenants to vacate as most tenants assume they will be allowed to remain in possession of the premises on a month to month basis.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29295d17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29295d17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Q5: After I served my residential tenant with a 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, I accepted a partial payment from the tenant.
