I just want to extend my lease for another year under the same terms. Is there a legal form in CA? or can I just type up and sign. If there is a link, please post.
There's no standard form to request a renewal lease. Typically, the landlord will notify the tenant prior to the lease expiring of their options for renewal. If you haven't gotten that yet, you can put your request in writing to your landlord and see what they say, but honestly, the ball's in their court. They don't have to renew to you, nor do they have to do so under the same terms. The majority of the time, there are often rental increases with renewal leases. You'll have to see what they say and go from there.
