If the lease has expired does the acceptance of rent by landlord imply that the lease has been renewed?
Full Question:
My lease got expired two months back, but I still stay in the house and even pay the rent. My landlord is a nice guy and has no issues till now. Does the acceptance of rental payments imply that the lease has been renewed? I need to know the relevant California law on this.

Answer:
“If a lessee of real property remains in possession thereof after the expiration of the hiring, and the lessor accepts rent from him, the parties are presumed to have renewed the hiring on the same terms and for the same time, not exceeding one month when the rent is payable monthly, nor in any case one year.”
