§ 12219 Notice Timing Rules

This law explains when a notice is considered 'given' or 'sent'—it counts as sent when you mail it, hand it to someone, or tell them directly.

Key Takeaways

  • •A notice is 'sent' when you mail it, hand it over, or tell someone directly.
  • •It doesn’t matter if the other person gets it right away—just that you sent it the right way.
  • •This applies to letters, emails, phone calls, or telling someone in person.

Example

You mail a letter to your landlord to tell them you're moving out.

The notice counts as sent the moment you drop it in the mailbox with a stamp, not when the landlord reads it.
