You could also tell him you’ll pay the rent three days early if he brings a new month-to-month rental agreement.

You are wrong. Rent skimming is illegal. California Civil Code 890

edited to add
891(d) A tenant of residential real property may bring an action against a person who has engaged in rent skimming with respect to that property for the recovery of actual damages, including any security, as defined in Section 1950.5, and moving expenses if the property is sold at a foreclosure sale and the tenant was required to move. A prevailing plaintiff in such an action shall be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The court also may award exemplary damages; it shall award exemplary damages of at least three times the amount of actual damages if the payments due under any deed of trust or mortgage were two or more months delinquent at the time the tenant rented the premises or if the defendant has engaged in multiple acts of rent skimming.

Sure it’s illegal, that’s not the valid question. The issue is “Is the LL committing an act of ‘rent skimming'” ?
For more accurate definition of ‘rent skimming’.

So, have they owned it less than a year? If in fact they did take ownership in 11/07, then, yes, it is ‘rent skimming’.

Civil Code 890
890. (a)

(1) “Rent skimming” means using revenue received from the rental of a parcel of residential real property at any time during the first year period after acquiring that property without first applying the revenue or an equivalent amount to the payments due on all mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering that property.

(2) For purposes of this section, “rent skimming” also means receiving revenue from the rental of a parcel of residential real property where the person receiving that revenue, without the consent of the owner or owner’s agent, asserted possession or ownership of the residential property, whether under a false claim of title, by trespass, or any other unauthorized means, rented the property to another, and collected rents from the other person for the rental of the property. This paragraph does not apply to any tenant, subtenant, lessee, sublessee, or assignee, nor to any other hirer having a lawful occupancy interest in the residential dwelling.

You are quibbling over semantics. You were wrong.

I didn’t care to post the entire code. My point was it was illegal and there were penalties for rent skimming. Of course good luck getting your money. As my father always said you can’t get blood out of a turnip.
