Varies from state-to-state, but very often if a lease expires without a new one being signed and the tennant isn't asked to leave, it goes month-to-month.

Even if it doesn't, you can't force a dude to let you stay in his home. No state magically entitles you to an extra year after the lease expires.

I understand you dont want to move but how do you figure there should be a law to make him..the landlord, the owner of the house, let you stay as long as you feel like it.

You didn't sign a lease because you thought it would be to your benefit..ie. if you found a new place youd be out of there leaving him high and dry ..yet when he needs you out all of a sudden you feel you should be protected by some california 'i aint ready to move out yet' law. why didnt you ask him for a lease as soon as the old one expired?

it doesnt make sense..sorry bud looks like you need to find a new place.

In most states, it does.

Either way, the nice thing to do (he wants his kids to move in?) is to go look for a place. He's being decent about this, so should you.

well if it was a 1 year lease that expired, he can get you now for tresspassing.

Stop being a whiney bitch, and move. $900 will cover any deposit on a 1 bedroom apt, plus setting up utilities.

The only reason i can see for you not wanting to move, is you are in a really good neighborhood, and you think you're better than you really are and don't want to live with us common folk,or you're banging his wife when he's at work.

 

[vi edit]

Christ. Sounds like a good deal to me! Last place I leased, I didn't renew and the landlord told me I had 4 days to get out before the new tenants moved in.

 

[phaserx]

little do you realize the $900 is your security deposit..

It would be best to, at the very least, start looking at different places. Since he runs the place and apparently now there is no timed lease is in effect he could give you 2 weeks/1 months notice at anytime.

 

[Nutdotnet]

Where do you get that you have ANY rights on this? Your lease is month-to-month. He can give you 30-day notice any time he wants to.

IT'S HIS HOUSE! If his reasons to have you move is to paint the walls fuscia and start a nudist-rodeo colony he has every right to do so.

Take the $900 which he doesn't have to give you, take his 4-runner to move your stuff, and be happy that you have/had a nice landlord.

 

[slycat]

i pay $1950 a month for the entire house.
still sux to move...

i'm gonna use the sec deposit for my final months rent and get the $900 from him..
since i guess i have no choice already. *sob*... o_o~~ ~

FVCKBEANS! That reminds me again why I like living in Iowa :Q. I pay $850 a month for a mortgage on a 2 year old house.

 

[iamwiz82]

Dude, you're missing the point completely. It is not your house. I'm the 99th person to say that. You're currently living there w/o a lease of any kind. You could come home from work and find all your crap stacked neatly at the curb and there wouldn't be a damn thing you could do about it, legally.

Take the $900, say "thanks and good luck" and smile and get teh hell out of Dodge.

Oh sh1t. He has your deposit? Uh oh. That's not a good thing. How much? $1950, I'll bet, right?

He's going to keep your deposit b/c the house is "damaged" or the lawn "needs reseeding due to your fault" or any number of reasons scumbag landlords screw tenants.

It doesn't change ANYTHING about the fact that you must move out soon, or risk being homeless; but I'd ask him:

Hey, Sir? $900 to move out, right? Is that in addtion to my $1950 deposit that I'll be getting back?

$5 says he laughs in your face.

 

[Buffdaddy34]

I'd get out of there before he takes back the 900 offer. Then you and I can go to Kuleto's and grab a nice dinner in the city.. how about it? lol. anyone want to have a SF hang out one day? that wuold be cool

 

[Noid]

take the 900,,, that's a nice landlord ... he didnt have to offer you that ...

which means he respects you ... and ... you just might get your security back if you be civil about this...

I'd wash that bitter taste you got in your mouth away ,,, and tell the guy you be neat and orderly on your way out...

and you'll probably get your security back ... plus the 900 ...

(unless your rich and dont care)

I am sorry to hear about this..

Best of luck to you... in finding a comparable place.

Ask him about a letter of reference... if there is such a thing for renters.

No... come on dude, I know it sucks having to relocate, find a new place, etc. when your fine where you are... BUT, your Lanlord is being MORE than cool about this, sounds like a decent guy. He's not trying to leave you high and dry... he's gotta do what he's gotta do.

guys..the lease doesn't expire in April...it already expired...long time ago...
we never talked about it so i guess when ur lease expires it defaults to month-month?...i think...

anyways, reason he wants me out, and specifically by Apr25 is coz his children wants to move
in...their own lease ends end of Apr so he wants me out by Apr25 so they can move in...clean up..etc.

i said i ain't moving...he said...ok...i'll help u move with my truck..(he has a 4runner)..and i'll give u a
$900 incentive to move..



but i dun wanna move. yeah, its a house. 3 bedroom+garage.
i dunno about the 'my son wanna move in' story...sounds kinda pasty...
but is it true he can really, REALLY kick me out and not say anything?
there's not protection for renters in CA or something?....

You have no written lease. You have no agreement as to what living situation you are in. You have nothing to stand on here. You have no rights. Take the $900 and find another place to live.
