In California, landlords may terminate a lease agreement with or without just cause. Termination without cause is permitted for landlords who do not want to renew a lease and some rental agreements. Landlords are allowed to end a month-to-month tenancy without giving cause but are still required to give 30-days notice.

When a tenant remains in possession of the rental after the agreement term expires they are considered a ?holdover tenant? . Legally, they become a month-to-month tenant and all provisions of the original agreement remain in effect, including the requirement to provide 30 days written notice of their intent to vacate.

In California, residential rental agreements automatically convert to month-to-month tenancies at the end of your lease term. At the end of each month thereafter, the agreement renews automatically for themselves in perpetuity, as long as you the tenant remains in possession of your home.

When you break a lease, you'll generally be charged penalties by your landlord. Failure to pay these penalties can impact your credit scores, as your landlord can turn the debt over to a collection agency.

According to Georgia landlord-tenant laws and the Federal Fair Housing Act, tenants have the legal right to proper housing, meaning that they must be able to live in a rental unit in good conditions. On the other hand, all tenants in Georgia have the legal right to receive fair treatment from their landlord.

Whichever party wants to terminate the lease must provide no less than 30 days' written notice to the other party of their intent to end the lease. In many cases, tenants wishing to terminate early must pay an early termination fee, which usually amounts to one month's rent.

Retaliation: A landlord cannot give you a non-renewal, and cannot choose to not renew your lease, for reasons that are retaliatory.
