ParticipantA lease is for a fixed period of time. Period. Unless I am mistaken–and I’d like to hear from an attorney here–the tenant’s only obligation is to stay during the term of the lease. If they stay past the lease expiration, they may be automatically on the hook for another month, depending on the language of the lease. But if they leave before midnight of the last day of the lease, they have no further obligation to the landlord.

ParticipantAye caramba Econ. How many tenants have you had?
Dept of Consumer Affairs for the state of California.

I am also a landlord.
The fact is that most mom and pop landlords don’t enforce this stuff to the letter. However many property managers do as thye like to soak every penny out of tenants.

ParticipantNot a RE attorney but I concur with EconProf. There has to be an automatic renewal clause and it has to be in boldface just above the signature. But I also think that automatic renewal clauses are nearly universal.

A lease is not a periodic rental agreement. A periodic rental agreement is defined as “an oral or written rental agreement that states the length of time between rent payments – for example, a week or a month – but not the total number of weeks or months that the agreement will be in effect“.
