month-to-month lease risks?

My lease is up in 2 days. I want to move, but don't have a place yet. And I don't know if I can get a place.

I want to do a month-to-month lease at $50 more, but someone told me the rent could be raised higher. But rents aren't being raised these days.
And if I went back to a 6 month lease, it would be at the price of the month-to-month lease. Is that true?

It doesn't do you a bit of good to ask us. We don't know what is in your lease, and we can't negotiate a new agreement with you. You need to speak to your landlord and work something out.

Read your lease. Some leases contain a clause that converts the lease automatically to a month to month agreement when the lease expires.

And some leases automatically renew if the tenant doesn't serve notice in writing that he doesn't wish to renew.

So 2 possibilities, you might already be on a month to month, or you might already be on another 6 months lease.

Read your lease. Understand what you've signed. Then call your landlord and discuss the issue.
