Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Landlord cancelled the lease
Rents for new tenants are substantially low($1000) when compared to the renewals($1100) in my apartments. However I came to know that the manager had rented one apartment for $1050 when they are renewing the lease. I asked her for the same rent for my renewal. I told her my friend who had signed the lease 10 days ago had told me that he had signed it for $1050. Yesterday she called my friend who had signed the lease for $1050, and asked him to vacate the apartment because he is telling everybody that he is paying 1050, and everybody is asking her for the same rent. The problem here is he didn't have a copy of the rental agreement. He had signed the agreement on Aug 1, and paid $1050 as the rent for the month of august. But the manager didn't sign the agreement till now. Yesterday she called him to the rental office and crossed off the agreement and she had written VOID on the agreement and asked him to vacate the apartment. Is it legal to evict a tenant just because he told his friends how much he is paying? Once agreed on rental terms, how long can a manager keep the rental agreement with her without signing and returning a copy to the tenant? Can a manager cancel the rental agreement by just writing VOID on that?

Re: Landlord cancelled the lease

The agreement is valid. this is not a ground for voiding a lease.
