Reply to comment by RoofKorean762 in I'm in CA. For the last 12 months I was paying month to month for rent without a lease. Now the apartment complex is making me sign a 13 month lease for 10% more. Can they do that? by [deleted]

Nice outcome. I expect the 13 month lease is just a standard contract/lease extension that they use whenever raising rent.

Yeah i agree. Just strange how this time they didn't offer mtm right away cause they did that last year. I assume maybe in 13 month they will send the same email about rent increase. Hopefully by then I will own property

Thank you for your advice. Always asking questions and negotiating should be done when to comes to rent.
