Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
When I gave my landlord my forwarding address for my security deposit and asked her when we could do a walk through she informed me I owed money for next months rent. I was under the impression signing a lease that states the following "this Lease shall terminate without further notice" meant this lease will terminate... without further notice. Do I really owe my landlord for next months rent?
TERM: The term of this Agreement is for 6 months, beginning on 09/01/2010 and ending on 03/01/2011, at which time this Lease shall terminate without further notice. Any holding over thereafter shall result in Resident being liable to Owner/Agent for daily rental damages equal to the current market value of the unit, divided by 30.

A reasonable reading of the contract by the average person is that the landlady has waived any 30 day notice by you as to non-renewal of the lease and has made it very clear that after 3/1/11 you are not entitled to stay there. Moreover, stating that the rent will be an unknown amount means there is no lease since there is no method stated as to how to determine the rental rate. You do not owe anything for March 2011.
