Rental Term Agreement Without Extension Provision
If a term agreement does not specify any language as to its extension, does it proceed to a month to month extension or does the extension become a mirror of the original lease term (ie. 6 month lease). Where can the applicable law that relates to this be found? I live in California.

In most states the lease will expire unless it addresses what occurs post the last date on the lease.
If you want it to go month-to-month then the lease should state that. If you want it renew for a full year you will have to include the parameters regarding how it renews automatically.
If you are unsure about the laws in your state/city contact a lawyer, property manager or there may landlord/tenant group who can provide insight.
Best of luck!
