Tricky Landlord

Card image cap

Location: California US

I've been living in this place for three years and have had ups and downs with my landlord. It's very difficult when it comes to maintenance, as she has avoided doing maintenance, for example I can’t use the AC/heating system anymore. There's a marijuana smell from my neighbors every day, even though it's a smoke-free building. She sent me an extension document for a couple of months so I could decide if I want to leave or stay. It's a document she wrote herself, and it only protects her. She told me to sign it within a day, but I didn't sign it because I have a couple questions and sent her a couple emails asking her when she’s available to talk, but she's not answering. My lease ends this month, and I don't know what I should do. Should I look for a new place by the end of the month, or should I wait for a response and risk an eviction/risk my security deposit, even though she's the one not answering? I've been trying to talk to her since the beginning of January, but there hasn't been much interaction other than that document
