Upon expiration, the lease may transition to a month-to-month tenancy with the same terms, provided both parties agree in writing at least 30 days prior to the end of the fixed term. The Landlord reserves the right to adjust rent with proper notice as required by California law (60 days for rent increases over 10%, per California Civil Code 827).

No additional occupants, including unattended guests, are permitted to reside in the unit without prior written consent from the Landlord.
