My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: CA
I am currently renting in SJ. My rent is about 2K, for 12 month lease. Lease is ending soon, and I would like to switch to month-to-month, because I may need to move out not too distant future. Their new offer is:
2.1K 12 months
3K month-to-month <--
The difference between 12 month lease and month-to-month is huge. Is such an increase legal? As far as I am aware, unit is not in a rent controlled area. Is there anything I could do?
