My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
The Apartment we have lived in for 12 years is looking to increase rent from 1035 to 1175. They did so by not renewing the lease. The lease has a provision that without lease rent 1175. We received a 30 day notice of rent increase as a notice of not renewing the lease. California rent law says that any increase over 10% needs a 60 day notice.
They claim that since it was in the lease they did not have to give 60 day notice. That seems to be a sloppy way of avoiding the 60 day requirement. Is the 30 day notification of non renewal just a 30 day notice of rent increase.
What can be done.
