That's been my findings as well. So far all I've found is that CA requires the evergreen clause to be written in an obvious manner- such as larger font than surrounding wording or highlighted and the clause can be invalid if not written in such a way. However, this only seems to be for service...

I've found what is considered an "evergreen clause" and it looks like it is the in the landlords right to claim a 60 day notice. Here's the first mention of it I've found: http://marell-lawfirm.com/the-pesky-auto-renewal-clause/ I'm searching further, but it may be this evergreen clause it...

Yea, I haven't been able to find anything that I feel like would allow me to present a solid case against the landlord. This person wasn't even going to return the 1/2 deposit they did send until I threatened to take it to small claims. Unless I can find or be directed to something that shows...

Funny thing is that's the clip the landlord sent me to show that my lease continued on the same terms. And over a year ago, when I mentioned I hadn't signed a new lease, they said I was on monthly terms, so I didn't need to worry about signing a new one. So, I have this: When a rent is paid...

There's nothing about it, however according to this manual from the CA Dept of Consumer Affairs http://www.dre.ca.gov/files/pdf/refbook/ref09.pdf on pg. 131 "after expiration of the lease term and the landlord accepts rental payments, the parties are presumed to have renewed the lease on the...

Here's the bit about notice: "Bringing Your Agreement to an End Either Client or Business Center may terminate this Agreement at the end date stated, or at the end of any extension or renewal period, by giving at least two (2) months written notice to the other. 8. When your Agreement Ends...

Thanks AdjusterJack, I've read over that section quite a bit already. The local attorney I spoke with the other day who specializes in commercial tenant law has told me that the landlord cannot legally enforce the 60 day notice- the state will only recognize a 30 day. It was his suggestion I...

My landlord isn't too bright and I think they are just bullying. I've been able to get one half of my deposit back and am working on negotiating the other to avoid small claims. They live in another state, so having to appear would be a real hassle. I'm depending on that they will find it easier...

No reason to be an asshole, I did click the state of California, so there must be a bug in the system. I've edited my OP to reflect that.

Hi, Edited to add: I clicked that I was in CA, but the system glitched b/c it doesn't show. Rented a office space where the lease is written that my agreement is the commercial equivalent of an agreement for accommodation in a hotel. The lease states they require 60 days notice of tenant to...
