@Edwin Guerrero If you pay month to month even without a lease you are technically on a month to month lease. I'm not sure of the law there in California, but if it is 60 days then he has given you a 60 day notice that rent will be increased at the end of that period. It doesn't matter that the house was sold. The new owner is your current landlord and he can increase rent as he pleases as long as it isn't a rent controlled area. Your agent is mistaken. You can't live anywhere rent free for any amount of time. If you can't afford the new rent give the landlord a written notice that you'll be leaving and start looking for a new place immediately.
