Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Lease Renewal

We are in a society that is controlled by what we call a "free market". Tell them you want to renew at the going market rate of $1425. They need to rent to someone, and if you move, they will need to find a new renter, who will only pay market rate.

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

At the end of the term of your lease, your tenancy ends and you are expected to move out unless you and your landlord come to agreement on new terms. Theoretically, your are free to negotiate the best deal possible -- either in the form of a new lease or a month to month tenancy. Read your lease, however, to see if there is a holdover clause which would govern your continued occupancy.
