i have lived in the same california rent controlled apartment for 8 years now. in that period i've gone through 3 roommates. my current roommate wants to move back home. my lease is month-to-month. when my roommate moves out i'm going to take over the payments by myself. by taking my roommate off of the lease and leaving my name on it, can my landlord raise my rent? they have recently offered me a sum of money to vacate my apartment so they can double the rent and find a new tenant. i refused.
