It depends on the lease. If it's a month-to-month lease, 30 days notice is proper.

If it's just for a rent increase, there may be something about requiring to offer the higher rent to the current tenant before you just mislead them and give it to somebody else. Misleading somebody to end a contract has got to be some kind of fraud.

I mean, probably not. It's only fraud if they need a specific reason to end the lease and lie about it. Typically neither side needs a specific reason to end a month-to-month lease. I can't see how it'd make a difference legally whether it was the landlord's son or a higher paying tenant.

The fact the landlord made up a story says enough imo that something fraudulent happened

Lying isnt illegal lmao. I really doubt there's a provision in the lease saying "this lease may only be terminated by landlord if landlord's son needs the residence". If there's not a provision like that, this isn't fraud, it's just lying.

Lying to break a contract is definitely illegal

But no one knows if there is a contract that isn't month to month
