Landleech error in my favor? (hexbear.net)

My renewal letter says, in part, "[i]f you fail to fully execute a new lease by September 22, 2024, your lease will go to Month to Month at the rate of $0.00."

If they don't correct that, can I stay rent-free?

Your previous contract, executed and signed by you or your legal representative, almost certainly includes a clause on what happens in the “month-to-month” scenario. This clause almost certainly does not state $0.

The renewal letter has not been signed and executed by both parties.

I’m all for fucking over landlords, but we also need to pick our battles 😁

They give the unsigned renewal letter teeth (or else why would they even set a month-to-month price there) in a clause in the original lease, solely dependent upon giving me written notice and explicitly stating "without necessity of your signature."
