I live in California. My lease states that it will terminate on October 5 unless We have extended the agreement in writting or if landlord accepts rent (Other than past due) in which case a month to month tenancy begins...., Then later under tenants obligations upon vacating it states "Give 30 day notice to renew or "vate" before lease expires" I have verbally given my notice on several occasions in the past 3 months and now they are telling me I need to provide one in writing although it doesn't state in my lease that I do. I also have monthly pest control and never recieved the original notice given to my landlord from the pest control company. I am wondering if What I have done complies with my lease and if not, them not providing me with the original notice from the pest control company voids my contract and allows me to break my lease? I also disagree with them using "Vate" in the contract because that is not clear and it's leaglly binding. I can't find anything online so I'm hoping someone can help me. Thank you!
