A lease agreement should identify the parties, describe the property, state the term, rent amount, due dates, deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and rules. It should also specify remedies for breach, notice procedures, and renewal options.
The security deposit policy must comply with California law, typically requiring a separate deposit and timely return with itemized deductions if applicable.
Usually the landlord is responsible for major repairs; tenants handle minor maintenance per the lease. Clear language avoids disputes.
In many cases a tenant can end a lease early with penalties or by negotiating a release, depending on the lease terms and local laws.
There is no statewide rent cap in California, but local ordinances may limit increases; check your city rules.
Pet policies vary by lease; some leases allow pets with deposits and rules, others ban pets.
