[quote=SD Realtor]Lets see if I can spell this out a little more clearly.
You must give your landlord notice. That notice must be the same as the intervals in which you pay rent. If you pay rent monthly, you need to give 30 day notice. If you pay rent weekly you must give a 7 day notice.
Eugene you seem like a bright chap and I am sure you have as many tenants as Econprof. Most leases actually contain a hard to find area that specifies the periodic rent payment. This is defined as the time between rents. This is the same period as which you will need to give notice.

Negative.
Even if a lease specifies time between rents, it’s still a lease and not a periodic rental agreement. The section of the law that creates the notice requirement (California Civil Code section 1946) ONLY applies to rental agreements “for a term not specified by the parties”.
I went and found two of my old lease agreements. Like I said, both of them say explicitly, near the very end, in boldface: “Unless written notice of election not to renew is given by either party thirty (30) days before the expiration of this lease, this lease shall be automatically renewed at a new rate, if applicable, on a moth-to-moth basis which shall require thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.”
