Taken together these provisions compel the conclusion that an occupancy by a subtenant, “roommate,” or other person occupying the premises “pursuant to the rental agreement with the owner” is treated as a continuation of the original occupancy, even though the named “tenant” under the rental agreement may have vacated. Plaintiffs simply ignore these provisions in favor of a clause stating that the original occupancy is also deemed to continue where a “lawful sublessee or assignee who resided at the dwelling or unit prior to January 1, 1996, remains in possession of the dwelling or unit.” (Civ. Code, § 1954.53, subd. (d)(3).)
