The landlord doesn't need any excuses to terminate a month to month lease.  

As a woman living alone this is a safety concern for me.We hereby request that the subject Rental Lease Agreement be terminated as of September 19, 2016 without penalty to renter or guarantor."

This results in 1) a higher monthly cost for initial coverage and 2) rate increases or policy terminations once they start making claims – and these follow you from insurer to insurer.

My concerns with leasing would specifically be between property owners who already have tenants in place (And i'm mostly worried about HUD type rentals) which then would require the current lease be terminated, me to come in as new lessee, then to re-lease to the current tenant as a new sublease.

A Protected Tenant is also a tenant who is terminally ill as certified by a treating physician licensed to practice in the State of California, regardless of their length of tenancy.Application fees submitted will not be refunded, including when it is determined that a tenant is a Protected Tenant.

Hi Brendon,We terminated the contract after the second walk thru.

Just follow through, go to court and evict if you can not wait to terminate at end of lease.

Our standard contract in the DC states that when terminating a contract based on the inspection that the buyer must send the seller the home inspection report.

So if you buy and hold long term in Coastal So Cal (i.e. did not sell when the markets have depreciated) it has historically been virtually impossible to lose money (if you try real hard you may be able to find an area where you could have owned 10 years and lost money but you would have to try pretty hard to find that area and that 10 time span). 

My first thought is can you get the property rented on a more standard term (in leu of AirBnB)?
