I look up this law. What does it mean

What is the name of your state? CA


I look up these two codes in California what does it mean.

Civil Code


1944. A hiring of lodgings or a dwelling house for an unspecified
term is presumed to have been made for such length of time as the
parties adopt for the estimation of the rent. Thus a hiring at a
monthly rate of rent is presumed to be for one month. In the absence
of any agreement respecting the length of time or the rent, the
hiring is presumed to be monthly.


1947. When there is no usage or contract to the contrary, rents are
payable at the termination of the holding, when it does not exceed
one year. If the holding is by the day, week, month, quarter, or
year, rent is payable at the termination of the respective periods,
as it successively becomes due.

Does this mean if my rental contract just say monthly rent is $950 dollars. Then my rental I have a month-to-month lease per sec 1944. And that my rent is due at the end of the month per section 1947.

Blau 1944 seems to be month to month agreement . 1947 frankly do you know of any LLs who let some one live some where first and pay later ? I didnt know any who did that unless they were actually in the hotel business where guest only had to settle final bills before leaving since room charges would have been drawn from credit card .
