if they are just bribing you so they can raise the rent for the next tenant, this is illegal. you have the upper hand; therefore, you can refuse, or negotiate if you choose. if they have a legal reason to ask you to leave (want the unit for themselves or family memeber; condo conversions; taking ppty off rental market, and some other things the law allows--look up LA RSO for more info.), rent control rules dictate how much they have to pay you.
