         Plaintiff cites Civil Code section 827 as providing the legal grounds for it to change the terms
of the month-to-month tenancy. That statute provides, in relevant part, “ in all leases . . . from week to
week, month to month, or other period less than a month, the landlord may, upon giving notice in
writing to the tenant . . . change the terms of the lease . . . .” (Civ. Code, § 827, subd. (a).) But some
rent control ordinances do not permit a landlord to unilaterally change a term of a rental agreement and
then evict the tenant for violation of the changed term unless the tenant agreed in writing to the change.
(See, e.g., Rent Stabilization Ordinance of the City of Los Angeles, LAMC, § 151.09(A)(2)(c).)
However, Foster has made no allegation, nor has he presented any evidence, of the existence of such an
ordinance that would apply in this case for the property located in North Hollywood.
