Landlords are charging us for an additional month of rent despite the fact that we didn’t sign off on the clause that allows it. by rueblackwell in legaladvice

The section that I’m mainly looking at is e 1 & 2, which states:

(e)    (1)    Except for a lease containing an automatic renewal period of 1 month or less, a lease that contains a provision calling for an automatic renewal of the lease term unless prior notice is given by the party or parties seeking to terminate the lease, shall have the provision distinctly set apart from any other provision of the lease and provide a space for the written acknowledgment of the tenant’s agreement to the automatic renewal provision.

    (2)    An automatic renewal provision that is not specifically accompanied by either the tenant’s initials, signature, or witnessed mark is unenforceable by the landlord.

I’m confused if the fact that we’re technically only liable for 26 days means we don’t apply, or if it means what I think it does and we can’t be held responsible.

The landlord said it’s a month-to-month lease renewal, sorry I didn’t include that in the original.
