Q) ... I just purchased a non-rent control apartment building. can I ask my tenants to sign a new house rules and if they refuse, do I have any course of action? Secondly, what is the difference between a 30-day notice and a 60-day notice to vacate?

A) If the tenants are on a month-to-month tenancy, you can merely serve a "Change of Terms" notice on your tenant, which will institute these rules. You would need to give a 30-days advanced notice. After the thirty days, the rules will become part of this tenant's tenancy. You also can serve a notice to terminate the tenancy. If the tenant has been in the unit one year or longer, you would need to serve a 60-day notice to quit. Otherwise, you can serve a 30-day notice.
