§ 1976 Abandonment Notice Requirements

This law says that when you send a notice saying something has been abandoned, you must be clear about it and say why, but you don’t have to prove you own it or that you lost anything.

Key Takeaways

•The abandonment notice must be clear and explicit.
•It must state the specific reason for the abandonment.
•Only enough detail to show a likely reason is needed.
•You don’t have to include proof of ownership or proof of loss.

Example

A landlord thinks a tenant has moved out and left the apartment empty.

The landlord sends a notice that says the tenant abandoned the unit because they got a new job in another city. The notice is clear and gives a reason, but the landlord doesn’t have to attach any paperwork showing how much rent they lost.

A notice of abandonment shall be explicit, and shall specify the particular cause of the abandonment, but need state only enough to show that there is probable cause therefor, and need not be accompanied with proof of interest or of loss. (Enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 145.)
