Landlord sued to evict month-to-month tenant after delivering a termination notice to tenant. Tenant's mother claimed that she was also a tenant and that landlord should also have sent her a copy of the termination notice. Tenant's mother asked the court to dismiss the case. The court ruled against tenant's mother. Whether tenant's mother was a tenant who should have received a copy of the termination notice was a question of fact that required a hearing.
