Under existing law, a lease for residential housing that provides for the automatic renewal or extension of the lease if the lessee remains in possession after the lease's expiration, or if the lessee fails to give notice of intent not to renew or extend before expiration of the lease, is voidable by the party who did not prepare the lease, unless the renewal or extension provision, and a recital regarding the presence of this provision, appears in the agreement in at least 8-point boldface type, if the contract is printed.
This bill would require instead that the renewal or extension provision and the recital, as described above, appear in at least 12-point boldface type.
