If you are any LL in an owner occupied 3 unit or less building you can choose not to renew and evict if you choose
If you are any other LL, if you do not renew tenant can continue to rent at the same terms and conditions on a month to month basis. The tenant can not be evicted unles you have grounds under the Anti Eviction Act.

THE ANSWER IS - IT DEPENDS. There are several factors which are also not addressed in the previous reply. You really need to SPEAK with a knowledgeable attorney.
