[CA] Does a landlord need 60 days’ notice to end a month-to-month tenancy for late rent, and what if the tenant stops paying?

Hello, I have a tenant renting a studio apartment below my home in Fairfax, CA. She started occupancy on May 1, 2023 with a one-year lease that switched over to month-to-month. She has been consistently late every month for the last 9 months, sometimes 2 to 3 weeks late. It has become too much for me as I travel a lot for work and I am not always around my home. Do I need to give her a 2-month notice to vacate? Is there anything else I need to know?

My kids are in another state and their father is trying to terminate my parental rights by giving false information to the court. I raised them from birth until 2021. They’ve been with him for four years now (ages 12 and 10). We were never married. We signed a VPOP form, but it was never filed with the family court. Temporary custody went to him by default in 2021. I’m now fighting for custody and a move-away.
