A lease should cover the key terms: parties, property, rent, term, security deposit, maintenance, access, and rules. A thorough review helps ensure those terms are clear and enforceable.
Security deposits in California are subject to state and local rules, including limits on amounts and how refunds are handled. Landlords must provide an itemized statement of deductions and return the remaining funds within the required period.
Rent increases are typically governed by the lease terms and applicable law. In a fixed term, increases occur only if allowed by the agreement; in month-to-month arrangements, notice is required before an increase.
Notice for entry is usually provided in advance, with exceptions for emergencies. California law also dictates reasonable notice to tenants.
Subleasing generally requires landlord consent and may be restricted by the lease. Always check the agreement and consult a lawyer if you plan to sublet.
Breach can lead to remedies defined in the lease and potential eviction. Often there is a cure period and opportunities to renegotiate terms before termination.
Repair responsibilities are typically split: tenants handle minor upkeep and landlords handle major repairs, subject to the lease terms.
