So I gave my 30 days on the 1st of December thinking that I would have found a place to live by the end of the month. Well I haven't found a place yet. A landlord at a place I'm looking to rent said that as long as I inform my current residence that I can't move I can stay here, but my current landlord isn't very happy right now. Can I legally stay here and pay a prorated lease. State of California btw.
Thanks.

idk California - but in Oregon you can stay as long as the unit has not already been re-rented. You basically cancel out your original 30 day notice - and when you find a place - give a another notice.
DON'T GIVE NOTICE TILL YOU HAVE FOUND ANOTHER PLACE TO GO!!! That's how you end up homeless!!

No. You are obligated to move out per your notice. If you fail to do so, the landlord can file an Unlawful Detainer (eviction) against you.
The court can award the landlord damages, court costs, and attorney's fees - if the rental agreement or lease contains an attorney's fee clause and if the landlord was represented by an attorney.

It all depends upon the reason you have to leave, If it is in good terms like a lease running out I would go talk to the land lore immediately explain then you should be able to rent month by month.

I don't know about Calif., but if my tenant gave me a 30 day notice...I would expect them to be gone by the end of the 30 days and I would have done everything in my power to rent the place by then. I, also, would be upset if the old tenant stayed as it would be a domino effect, effecting the new tenants and the tenants that are renting their old apartment...and so on. If you have given your 30 day notice you really should be out by then.

You can stay, but then you are ilegallly staying there and the landlord will initate eviction proceedings. and then you'll be paying double because the landlord can ask for damages up to twice the normal rent.
