A lease term is the duration specified in the agreement during which the tenant may occupy the property. It can be fixed for a set period or tied to a specific date.
Costs for repairs are usually defined in the lease. Depending on the lease type, responsibility may fall on the tenant or the landlord.
Renewals may be options or require renegotiation. Check notice periods and rate adjustments.
A security deposit is held to cover damages beyond normal wear. Return timing is defined by law.
At lease end, the property should be returned in the agreed condition, rent is settled, and deposits handled per policy.
Subleasing may be allowed with consent, subject to terms in the lease.
CAM charges cover common area maintenance such as landscaping and utilities, as defined in the lease.
Rent increases are typically governed by a clause in the lease and applicable California law; notice periods apply.
While not always required, having legal guidance helps ensure terms are fair and compliant.
Lease reviews vary but commonly take a few business days to a couple of weeks, depending on complexity.
