Our tenant wrote us a letter stating they can no longer operate their business on our property and mailed it to us along with their key. Their lease agreement doesn't end till July 2022. On the lease it states all parties will not seek court action and will seek mediation /arbitration to... Read more »
Generally, a tenant is responsible for the full lease term, BUT the landlord must reasonably attempt to "mitigate" the damages. That means the landlord should try to rent out the space once the tenant has left. IF (the language in the lease is very important) the parties have agreed to... Read more »
We originally had 4 adults listed on the rental agreement but one of them moved out, and we are attempting to have somebody move in to take their place; however, my landlord is insisting on a 10% increase to the rent if a new tenant moves in. Rent was already increased last month and the month... Read more »
Per Civil Code § 1947.12, NO, but there is a whole list of exemptions and exception. But this statute specifically covers your situation and the law limits rent increases to 5% every 12 months, unless EVERYONE moves out and there is a new lease. You don't say how much he increased the rent... Read more »
I live in California. I rented a 1br/1 ba appt and signed a lease stating that if I had unregistered guests that I would be charged $30/night (per the lease I am allowed 2 guests every month for a maximum of 2 days). Over word of mouth when I signed the lease, he told me that it was not enforced... Read more »
If you signed a lease that says you would be charged, then you were aware of the "potential" fees. It also sounds like you breached the lease agreement by letting your friends stay more than the allotted "2 days" per month, and sounds like you further operated in bad faith by... Read more »
my roommate wants to take me to court for rent. So as far as i know when you pay rent it's for the upcoming month right? Well i paid at the end of June which means i paid to stay in the apartment in July. And in August i moved out and got my name off the lease. I did let them know in the... Read more »
Generally you would pay for the upcoming month, yes. Obviously every contract can be different though, so it would depend on when you originally paid and what the deal was. What does the tenant agreement say? When does the specific month-to-month start/stop? (oftentimes it's the first of... Read more »
I only lived in an apartment for 1 day before deciding to move out. I signed the contract regarding security deposits but I think it's unfair that I don't get at least a portion of it back because I lived there for such a short amount. Additionally, the house owner breached verbal... Read more »
If you signed the lease for the month and there was no official foul play, then you are committed to paying for the month, regardless of how long you decided to live in the apartment. The landlord has committed that month and has no duty to replace your monthly contract.

She is your sub-tenant. Check your lease to see if you need permission for a subtenant. How to evict her?

There's several pieces to this. First off, you mention that he was "court-ordered not to give", which would imply there's already been a case and judgment on him in regards to his recorded breaches prior to you moving out? If so, then the discussion would be on your issue... Read more »
I am currently a tenant. My water tank pump was taken out on Thursday Sep. 9th to be fixed. I was told it would only take a few hours or a day.

Your landlord is not providing you with a "habitable" premises when you are denied running water. Civil Code §§ 1941 et. seq. and this effects your obligation to pay rent. You are entitled to discounted rent. You may also be entitled under your rental agreement to the hotel, since you... Read more »

We have gotten the itemized list where we were told we’d be getting $1549 back. They sent the check then they voided it right before it arrived because “the wrong amount was sent”. When we got the check in the mail it was for the correct amount. We were told the new check would be delivered... Read more »

File a small claims action, gather all your evidence, make copies and a summary of events/damages to prepare for trial. If you are not sure about how much to ask... Read more »
He originally began telling me his claims on the phone- I had to hang up because it was such obvious bs and a complete betrayal
He just decided that he’s got it and won’t return it
Small claims is the place for you. The LL has to provide you with an itemized accounting of deductions against your deposit within 21 days after you vacate. If you dispute it you can file in Small Claims. If he is wrongfully withholding the deposit, you may be able to collect a penalty on the... Read more »
is tapping into my electric and water. Do i have to pay her rent?
Wow, there is so much wrong with this that I have a hard time figuring where to begin. The owner cannot just take back property that is part of your rental and live in it herself. Nor can she steal your electricity and water. What is this owner thinking? Before you do anything , take lots of... Read more »

Your rights are stated in your lease. Most form rental agreements or leases have provisions about leaving during temporary repairs.

Been living here since 2012
You may get a notice to vacate and then you move out on the LL schedule without any benefits or pay. If you were there more than a year, you may be entitled to a month's rent as relocation money.
Depending on how long you lived there, you have 30 or 60 days to be evicted. Suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.
Termination of Fixed Term Leases
1. If the lease is to be terminated early, 30 days’ notice must be given, and the tenant is still required to pay rent until a replacement tenant is found. Although management will make a good effort to advertise and rerent, replacement tenants must be... Read more »
What you are asking for is to write a contract provision for you. Attorneys do not work for free. I suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation, and hire them to write the paragraph for you.
