It does seem counter-intuitive for a landlord to request that a long term rent-controlled tenant continue to sign a new lease, but counter-intuitive for landlords can be beneficial for tenants. You are protected from nasty rent increases, OMI notices or Ellis notices that become effective before the end of your lease.
Complete a consent to assignment of lease form, which is a legal form that documents the transfer of the lease. This form relieves you of any obligation to the rental unit.. Search for a new tenant if the landlord makes it part of the arrangement for breaking your lease. Securing a new tenant can be a time-consuming process. Your landlord may require that you post the opening on rental listings, interview or prescreen the applicants and obtain all of the necessary paperwork.
