You personally do not have to give an eviction notice that you may receive from your landlord to another person who resides in your unit who presumably is a "guest" of yours. However, it would be a wise idea to let this "guest" know that you have been served with an eviction notice and that the lease and occupation of the rental will soon be coming to an end.

It is the landlord's staututory duty to serve all tenants of his or her with an eviction notice (usually 30 days) to end the tenancy. Good practice would be for the landlord to serve the notice upon all adult occupants of the rental as well even those who are "guests".
