No, there is no auto renewal, it just expires. The only way it converts or anything is if they accept one single dime of rent from me on or after 1 July. If they do, it automatically changes from fixed term to month-to-month.

10 june through 1 july is not 30 days. I'm not even bothering to respond to legal advice from someone who can't count to 30.

Gail, re-read my complaint, then read CA Civil Code 1942.5. Once that is accomplished you may then apologize to me.

I LIKE the apartment and the area, as I said in the posting. A big part of that is because I FORCED the landlord to get it to a habitable condition, and on top of that, have spent my OWN money, time and effort getting it where I like....just as I stated in my complaint. Just because the landlord is an "a-hole" doesn't mean the apartment and/or the area sucks too.

yeah, it needed some work when I moved in, I was under the impression they would DO it because SANE landlords don't have to be ASKED to do things like repair a ground floor, street facing window that will not close or lock. that is a MAJOR security concern and a tenant shouldnt even have to ask...but the tenant before lived with that window for 3 years. I complained about it, and lot of other things, and NOW they want me gone when the lease ends even though I have never violated the lease.

THAT IS RETALIATION! It's ILLEGAL in CA to evict, not renew the lease, raise the rent by some OUTRAGEOUS amount, etc. if you are doing it to get rid of someone or make their tenancy pure hell--in other words--retaliate-- simply because they legitimately complained or ratted you out to some city or state agency for not taking care of their legit complaints. If the tenant had reasonable, legitimate complaints about the conditions of the apartment, and expressed them, you can't get back at them like a vindictive little kid! that would be an AWFUL situation if landlords can kick you out or jack up the rent by $800.00 per month because you demanded they fix a leaking ceiling that has RUINED half your furniture. can you imagine that?

Tenants have a the LEGAL RIGHT to complain about and demand reasonable repairs in California and to evict for that reason is ILLEGAL! I spelled that out pretty clearly in my post...I guess you just have poor reading comprehension or you're jaded by your bratty kids or something.

if the place sucked beyond just some needing some repairs, I would not have rented it. plus they are harassing me with repeated phone calls after being asked in writing twice and once verbally to knock it off, that EVERYTHING needs to be in writing from now on, and stop calling me 5+ times a day. harassment is ALSO illegal but I guess you missed that part too since you don't know why people have the NERVE to complain when they're getting screwed over.....WHATEVER.

Uncaffeinated I may have been.

I'm still not the one having to shell out for your stupidity.



And if you were my tenant, I'd be doing everything in my power (which is Rather Great) to make sure you'd be out on your ass, legally, and I'd be telling every landlord and his dog about "The Troubles With Sparrow".

And there wouldn't be a darn thing you could do about it.
