[quote=PCinSD]No idea what part of town you’re in. But if you rent in the city of San Diego your landlord can’t simply terminate your lease. They must have very specific reasons like failing to pay rent, breaching terms of agreement, doing something illegal, etc.[/quote]

???
A landlord can’t terminate a lease outside the city either, it’s not limited to ‘the city of San Diego’

In this case the OP doesn’t have a lease.
A month to month agreement can be terminated with 60 days notice without any reason.

Is there something special going on in San Diego ?
