I’ve been on both ends, and you might have some leverage if your landlord–or their property manager–didn’t send that notice to you or post it on your door. If I remember correctly there was a deadline for that notice to go out last fall or prior (don’t recall). Also check on the San Diego ordinance to see if that also applies to you.
If your landlord didn’t do what they were supposed to, then you do have some room to negotiate if you are a model tenant. Tenants have way more rights in California than landlords. Due to the market and in deference to the other Pigg’s comments here, you might want to ask your landlord to give you stepped-up rent like 10% for 6 months only — which will give you time to find something else if you don’t want to stay.
