Option To Terminate Lease: At any time during the term of the lease, Tenant(s) may terminate the lease by paying to Landlord a termination fee equal to one month of agreed upon rent.
If this lease is based on a fixed term then at the expiration of said fixed term this lease shall become a month to month tenancy upon the express approval of landlord. Where said term is a month to month tenancy, either party may terminate this tenancy by the serving of a 30 day written notice.

A: Under California law, you have the option to terminate your lease early by paying a termination fee equal to one month of rent. This provision allows you to end your lease at any point during the lease term, giving you flexibility if your circumstances change.
If your lease transitions to a month-to-month tenancy after the fixed term, you or your landlord can terminate the lease with a 30-day written notice. This notice period is standard for month-to-month agreements in California and provides a clear timeframe for both parties to make necessary arrangements.
To proceed, inform your landlord in writing about your intention to terminate the lease and include the termination fee payment. Make sure to keep a copy of this communication for your records. This process ensures that you comply with your lease terms and California law, allowing for a smooth transition out of your rental agreement.
