Lease enforcement refers to the legal steps a landlord or tenant may take to ensure compliance with the lease terms, including rent payment, maintenance, and use provisions. The pathway can include notices, negotiations, mediation, and court actions such as eviction or damages claims. Always consider local rules in San Ramon and California law.
