Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: lease addendum validity

If you refuse to sign it, they won't evict you right away, but they will give you notice terminating your tenancy. Because you are month-to-month, your tenancy can be terminated by a 30 day notice (if you have lived there less than a year) and 60 day notice (if you have lived there more than a year). The termination of your tenancy can be done without any cause whatsoever, so it would be very difficult for you to claim that their termination was retaliatory or illegal.

Re: lease addendum validity

Without your sending the contents of the addendum, I'll try to answer.

Ignoring it will get you evicted while negotiating cannot hurt. Never signing will also get you evicted.
