California Residential Lease Agreement

California Residential Lease Agreement

Terms and Conditions

This California Residential Lease Agreement (“Agreement”) is made on the Agreement date stated in the Data Schedule by and between the Landlord and Tenant(s) identified there. Landlord rents to Tenant the residential premises identified in the Data Schedule (“Premises”) on the terms below.

1. Term The Commencement Date and the parties' term election are stated in the Data Schedule.

For a fixed term, the tenancy ends at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date stated in the Data Schedule unless the parties sign a written extension or renewal or applicable law continues the tenancy. Tenant shall surrender possession at the lawful end of the tenancy. Any Landlord termination or refusal to continue the tenancy must comply with Civil Code § 1946.2, any applicable exemption notice, and applicable local just-cause law. Acceptance of Rent and any resulting holdover tenancy are governed by law and Section 18.

For a month-to-month tenancy, Tenant may terminate by written notice at least as long as the periodic term. Landlord generally must give at least 60 days' written notice, except when a 30-day period or another period is authorized by Civil Code § 1946.1 or other law. Landlord termination also requires any applicable just cause, relocation assistance, and local-law compliance. Termination notices must be served by a method authorized by Civil Code § 1946.1 and Code of Civil Procedure § 1162.

No term option applies by default if neither box is checked.

2. Rent Monthly Rent is due in advance on the first day of each calendar month. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the first payment will be prorated on a 30-day basis unless applicable law requires another method.

Under this Agreement, Monthly Rent will not be treated as late before the end of the third calendar day of the month. This contractual grace period does not change the due date. A longer grace period required by local law controls.

Other fees, reimbursements, damages, utility charges, and the Security Deposit are not Monthly Rent and will not be demanded in a notice to pay rent or quit unless applicable law permits that treatment.

Rent payment

Accepted methods — check all that apply:

Personal check

Cashier's check

Money order

Electronic transfer

Other:

_____

Landlord shall at all times permit at least one payment method that is neither cash nor electronic funds transfer, except as Civil Code § 1947.3 permits after a dishonored payment.

Dishonored payments

For a check, draft, or order returned for insufficient funds, Landlord may charge no more than $25 for the first covered item and $35 for each subsequent covered item to the same payee, subject to Civil Code § 1719, including its demand requirements and defenses. This fixed schedule does not apply to ACH, card, or other electronic reversals. For an electronic reversal, Tenant owes only an actual, lawful, documented third-party charge, unless a different amount is approved by California counsel and permitted by law.

Any written demand that Rent be paid in cash after a dishonored payment or stop-payment order, including its duration and supporting notice, must comply with Civil Code § 1947.3.

IF PAID PERSONALLY, DAYS AND HOURS AVAILABLE

_____

Landlord shall keep this information current and provide copies and updates as Civil Code § 1962 requires.

3. Security Deposit The Security Deposit may be used only as Civil Code § 1950.5 permits, including reasonably necessary amounts for unpaid Rent; repair of damage caused by Tenant, an occupant, or a guest beyond ordinary wear and tear; cleaning necessary to restore the Premises to the level of cleanliness at the beginning of the tenancy; and restoration, replacement, or return of property if this Agreement authorizes that use.

The general maximum is one month's Rent in addition to first month's Rent.

Qualifying small-landlord exception claimed. Landlord represents that every condition in Civil Code § 1950.5(c)(5) is satisfied. If lawfully available, the Security Deposit may be up to two months' Rent. This exception is unavailable if a prospective Tenant is a service member.

Service-member additional security (complete only if applicable). Landlord charged a Tenant who is a service member security in an amount higher than the standard or advertised security based on the tenant's credit history, credit score, housing history, or another factor related to the tenant. As Civil Code § 1950.5(c)(4) requires, Landlord provided that Tenant, on or before the date this Agreement was signed, a written statement of the amount of the higher security and the reasons it is charged. Landlord shall return the additional amount of security to that Tenant after no more than six months of residency if that Tenant is not in arrears for any rent due during that period.

Date for return of the additional security amount: _____

Landlord shall give the initial-inspection notice and conduct any requested inspection under Civil Code § 1950.5(f). For a tenancy beginning on or after July 1, 2025, Landlord shall take photographs immediately before or at inception. For deductions subject to the law effective April 1, 2025, Landlord shall take photographs after possession is returned and before deductible repairs or cleaning, and again after that work.

No later than 21 calendar days after Tenant vacates, Landlord shall return the remaining Security Deposit and provide the itemized statement, invoices or other cost support, explanations, estimates and follow-up documents, and photographs required by Civil Code § 1950.5(h). The statutory $125 documentation exception, tenant-request override, estimate procedure, and forwarding-address rules control.

If Landlord received the Security Deposit or Rent electronically, Landlord shall give the required electronic-refund notice and return the balance by the method Civil Code § 1950.5(h) requires, unless the parties make a permitted written alternative agreement. Itemizations may be emailed only by mutual agreement as that section permits. Any allocation among multiple adult tenants, including a designated payee or percentage allocation and each adult Tenant's delivery method, must be in a written agreement signed by Landlord and all adult Tenants as § 1950.5(h) permits.

No interest is due except where applicable local law requires it.

The separate Initial Inspection/process notice is incorporated only if checked in Section 42.

4. Use and Occupancy The Premises shall be used as a private residence by Tenant and these authorized occupants:

_____

_____

Guests are permitted subject to reasonable written guest rules that do not violate fair-housing or other law. Incidental lawful work from home is permitted if it does not create customer traffic, nuisance, insurance risk, unlawful use, or a zoning violation.

Nothing in this section limits a reasonable accommodation or modification, a live-in aide, operation of a licensed family day care home to the extent protected by Health and Safety Code §§ 1597.40–1597.45, or any other right protected by federal, state, or local law.

5. Condition of Premises Except as stated in the attached move-in condition record and written repair requests, Tenant acknowledges receipt of the Premises in its apparent condition on the Commencement Date. This acknowledgment does not waive latent defects, Landlord's duties under Civil Code §§ 1941–1942.5, or any nonwaivable remedy. The move-in photographs required by Civil Code § 1950.5(g) do not replace the condition record.

6. Assignment and Subletting Tenant shall not assign this Agreement, sublet any part of the Premises, or grant a license for occupancy without Landlord's prior written consent. Consent to one transaction is not consent to another. An unauthorized transfer is a potential material breach, but Landlord may terminate or recover possession only after any notice and opportunity to cure required by law and compliance with applicable just-cause law. This section does not restrict a reasonable accommodation, protected occupant, or transfer right required by law.

7. Alterations and Improvements Tenant shall not make an alteration or improvement without Landlord's prior written consent, except as law otherwise permits. The written consent shall state whether the work must be removed and the Premises restored at move-out. Approved fixtures become Landlord's property unless the written consent states otherwise. Nothing in this section limits a reasonable modification or accommodation required by fair-housing or disability law or any other installation or modification right that cannot lawfully be waived.

8. Non-Delivery of Possession If Landlord cannot lawfully deliver possession on the Commencement Date, Monthly Rent abates until possession is delivered.

Outside delivery period: _____ days after the Commencement Date

Tenant may terminate by written notice if possession is not delivered within that period, or earlier if applicable law permits. Landlord shall promptly return prepaid Rent and the Security Deposit. Neither party is liable for delay caused without that party's fault, but this section does not waive liability for negligence, willful misconduct, breach of statutory duty, or a remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

9. Hazardous Materials Tenant shall not unlawfully possess or store hazardous, flammable, or explosive materials or create an unreasonable fire, environmental, or insurance risk. Ordinary household products, lawful fuel in ordinary quantities, and items needed for a disability or medical condition may be kept and used safely as law permits.

10. Utilities Complete every line:

Utility / Service

Landlord

Tenant

Electricity

Gas

Water

Sewer

Trash

Internet

Other: _____

Before the tenancy begins, Landlord shall disclose any known gas or electric meter that serves an area outside the Premises and enter the written cost-allocation or other arrangement required by Civil Code § 1940.9. No utility allocation shifts Landlord's nonwaivable habitability duties or permits interruption of an essential service contrary to law.

Stove and Refrigerator

For a lease entered into, amended, or extended on or after January 1, 2026, Landlord shall provide and maintain a working stove and refrigerator unless a statutory housing exception applies.

Refrigerator — Check Exactly One (§ 10)

Landlord-Provided Refrigerator

Landlord provides and maintains a refrigerator in good working order as Civil Code § 1941.1 requires.

Tenant-Provided Refrigerator Requested by Tenant

Under state law, the landlord is required to provide a refrigerator in good working order in your unit. By checking this box, you acknowledge that you have asked to bring your own refrigerator and that you are responsible for keeping that refrigerator in working order.

If Tenant chooses the second option, Tenant may give Landlord 30 days' written notice that Tenant no longer wishes to keep Tenant's refrigerator. At the end of that period, Landlord shall install a refrigerator in good working order as Civil Code § 1941.1 requires. Landlord may not condition the tenancy on Tenant choosing to provide a refrigerator. Landlord is not responsible for maintaining Tenant's refrigerator.

11. Maintenance, Repair, and Rules Landlord shall maintain the Premises as required by law, including Civil Code § 1941.1, and shall make repairs for which Landlord is responsible after reasonable notice.

Tenant shall keep areas under Tenant's control reasonably clean and sanitary; use fixtures and appliances properly; dispose of refuse; promptly report leaks, defects, pests, and unsafe conditions; and pay the reasonable cost to repair damage caused by Tenant, an occupant, or a guest beyond ordinary wear and tear, to the extent permitted by law. Tenant is not responsible for preexisting conditions, ordinary wear, structural or building-system failure not caused by Tenant, or Landlord's statutory duties.

Tenant shall:

1. Keep driveways, sidewalks, courts, entrances, stairs, and halls unobstructed and use them for ingress and egress.

2. Use reasonable care with windows, doors, coverings, locks, and hardware, without assuming Landlord's repair duties.

3. Not obstruct doors or windows in a manner that creates a safety or code violation.

4. Not leave doors or windows open during inclement weather when doing so is likely to damage the Premises.

5. Not hang laundry from a window, rail, porch, or balcony, except that Tenant may use a clothesline or drying rack in a private area to the extent permitted by Civil Code § 1940.20 and reasonable written conditions.

6. Not install or alter a lock without Landlord's prior written consent, except as permitted or required by law, including Civil Code §§ 1941.5 and 1941.6.

7. Maintain filters and similar tenant-service items only to the extent identified in a reasonable written maintenance schedule, subject to Landlord's statutory duties.

8. Use plumbing fixtures only for their intended purposes. Tenant is responsible for damage or clearing costs caused by Tenant's misuse, but not for building-system failures or conditions Landlord must repair.

9. Ensure that Tenant, occupants, and guests do not create unlawful nuisance or unreasonable disturbance.

10. Keep audio/video equipment and other noise at a level that does not unreasonably disturb others.

11. Place refuse in designated receptacles and keep exits and common areas clear.

12. Follow reasonable written association or property rules delivered before signing or later adopted for health, safety, quiet enjoyment, preservation, or common-area operations, provided a later rule does not materially alter the bargain or conflict with law.

All rules are subject to fair-housing accommodations and other protected rights.

12. Mandatory Bed Bug Disclosure In accordance with Civil Code § 1954.603, Tenant is notified of the following general information about bed bug identification, behavior, and biology. This entire section must appear in type no smaller than 10 points.

A. Information about bed bugs

Bed bug appearance. Bed bugs have six legs. Adult bed bugs have flat bodies about 1/4 of an inch in length. Their color can vary from red and brown to copper-colored. Young bed bugs are very small. Their bodies are about 1/16 of an inch in length. They have almost no color. When a bed bug feeds, its body swells, may lengthen, and becomes bright red, sometimes making it appear to be a different insect. Bed bugs do not fly. They can either crawl or be carried from place to place on objects, people, or animals. Bed bugs can be hard to find and identify because they are tiny and try to stay hidden.

Life cycle and reproduction. An average bed bug lives for about ten months. Female bed bugs lay one to five eggs per day. Bed bugs grow to full adulthood in about 21 days. Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding.

Bed bug bites. Because bed bugs usually feed at night, most people are bitten in their sleep and do not realize they were bitten. A person's reaction to insect bites is an immune response and so varies from person to person. Sometimes the red welts caused by the bites will not be noticed until many days after a person was bitten, if at all.

Common signs and symptoms of a possible bed bug infestation. Small red to reddish-brown fecal spots on mattresses, box springs, bed frames, linens, upholstery, or walls; molted bed bug skins, white sticky eggs, or empty eggshells; a characteristically sweet odor in very heavily infested areas; and red itchy bite marks, especially on the legs, arms, and other body parts exposed while sleeping. Some people do not show bed bug lesions even though bed bugs may have fed on them. For more information, see the Internet Web sites of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the National Pest Management Association.

B. Procedure to report suspected infestations

Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate concerning prevention and treatment. Tenant shall promptly report suspected bed bugs in writing to:

BED-BUG REPORT POSTAL ADDRESS

_____

EMAIL, IF MONITORED

_____

TELEPHONE

_____

WRITTEN REPORT DATE

_____

Email or telephone reporting supplements, but does not replace, any legally required notice method. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with lawful inspection and treatment.

13. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Despite any conflicting provision of this Agreement, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act applies to this Agreement and any attempt to terminate it, as provided in 50 U.S.C. §§ 3951 and 3955.

14. Renter's and Flood Insurance; Hazard Notice Tenant may obtain information about hazards, including flood hazards, that may affect the Premises from the Office of Emergency Services at myhazards.caloes.ca.gov. Landlord's insurance does not insure Tenant's personal property. Tenant should consider renter's and flood insurance.

Flood-hazard disclosure required. Landlord has actual knowledge that the Premises is in a special flood hazard area or an area of potential flooding, including because Landlord received public-agency notice, a mortgage holder requires flood insurance, or Landlord carries flood insurance. The current disclosure required by Government Code § 8589.45 is attached and incorporated.

An unchecked box is not a representation that no flood risk exists.

15. Damage to Premises If a casualty not caused by Tenant makes all or a material part of the Premises uninhabitable, the parties' termination, repair, Rent-abatement, and refund rights are governed by applicable law. Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant whether repair is reasonably feasible and the estimated schedule. Rent abates to the extent and for the period the Premises cannot lawfully or reasonably be used. Nothing limits Tenant's nonwaivable habitability or statutory termination remedies. Tenant remains responsible for loss caused by Tenant, occupants, or guests to the extent provided by law.

16. Entry Landlord may enter only for a purpose and in a manner authorized by Civil Code § 1954 or other law, including emergency; necessary or agreed repairs, services, alterations, or improvements; lawful inspection; showing the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers, tenants, lenders, workers, contractors, or insurers; a court order; abandonment or surrender; or Tenant's contemporaneous consent.

Except when law excuses notice, Landlord shall give written notice stating the date, approximate time, and purpose. Twenty-four hours is presumptively reasonable when notice is delivered by an authorized nonmail method; mailed notice is presumptively reasonable if sent at least six days before entry. Entry shall occur during normal business hours unless law or Tenant's consent permits otherwise and shall not be used to harass Tenant. Any oral-notice procedure for sale showings must satisfy Civil Code § 1954(d)(2).

Landlord may display customary exterior for sale, for rent, or vacancy signs to the extent permitted by law and applicable property rules.

17. Subordination Tenant's interest is subordinate to a present or future deed of trust or mortgage to the extent enforceable by law. Upon request, Tenant shall sign a commercially reasonable subordination or attornment document that does not materially reduce Tenant's rights. Nothing waives rights under foreclosure, successor-landlord, deposit-transfer, just-cause, or tenant-protection law. Landlord shall request nondisturbance protection where reasonably available.

18. Holdover If Tenant remains after a fixed term and Landlord accepts the continued tenancy, a month-to-month tenancy may arise as provided by law, on the same lawful terms except for a lawful written Rent change. Any Rent increase must comply with Civil Code §§ 827 and 1947.12 and local law. Either party may terminate only with the notice, service, just cause, relocation assistance, and other requirements applicable under Civil Code §§ 1946.1 and 1946.2 and local law. Nothing authorizes a holdover penalty that violates rent-control or liquidated-damages law.

19. Surrender At lawful termination, Tenant shall vacate, remove personal property, return all access devices, and leave the Premises in substantially the same level of cleanliness and condition as at inception, excluding ordinary wear and tear, preexisting conditions, casualty not caused by Tenant, and conditions Landlord must repair. Security Deposit deductions are limited by Civil Code § 1950.5.

20. Pets and Assistance Animals No pet is permitted unless the pet is both listed below and expressly authorized in a signed separate Pet Addendum. Listing the pet below does not by itself grant permission.

Pet(s) proposed for authorization (must also be listed in the signed Pet Addendum):

_____

A service animal, support animal, or other assistance animal approved or permitted as a reasonable accommodation is not a pet and is not subject to pet rent, a pet fee, or a pet deposit. Tenant remains responsible for animal-caused damage to the extent allowed by law. Accommodation requests will be handled under applicable fair-housing and disability law.

21. Quiet Enjoyment So long as the tenancy lawfully continues, Tenant is entitled to quiet possession and enjoyment of the Premises without substantial interference by Landlord or persons acting under Landlord's authority, subject to lawful entry and enforcement of this Agreement. A Tenant breach is addressed through lawful remedies and does not itself waive this covenant.

22. Liability and Indemnity Each party is responsible for loss, injury, or damage caused by that party's negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of law or this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from third-party claims to the extent caused by Tenant, an occupant, or a guest, excluding any portion caused by Landlord or a condition Landlord had a duty to correct. Nothing releases or limits Landlord's liability for negligence, willful acts, statutory duties, habitability, or other nonwaivable obligations, including the protections of Civil Code § 1953.

23. Default and Remedies If Tenant fails to pay Monthly Rent or materially breaches this Agreement, Landlord may serve the notice required by Code of Civil Procedure § 1161 using a method authorized by § 1162 and may pursue remedies only after the applicable cure or notice period expires. For a curable lease violation subject to Civil Code § 1946.2, Landlord shall first provide the notice and opportunity to cure that statute requires. Local law controls when it is more protective.

Landlord may recover possession only through lawful process. Future Rent, mitigation, termination damages, and reletting are governed by Civil Code §§ 1951.2–1951.4. No amount is accelerated except as law permits.

24. Late Charge If Monthly Rent is not received by the end of the contractual grace period, Tenant shall pay the completed late charge only to the extent enforceable under Civil Code § 1671(d) and applicable local law. By completing an amount, the parties state that they made a reasonable endeavor to estimate the administrative and other loss caused by late payment and that determining actual loss would be impracticable or extremely difficult. The charge may not exceed the lawful amount or operate as a penalty. No late charge applies if this field is blank.

25. Abandonment If Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may terminate, relet, or continue the Agreement only as Civil Code §§ 1951.2–1951.4 permit and shall mitigate damages where required. Landlord shall not use self-help to recover an occupied unit. Personal property left after termination shall be inventoried, noticed, stored, released, sold, or disposed of only under Civil Code §§ 1983–1991 and other applicable law.

26. Attorneys' Fees In an action on this Agreement, the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the extent authorized by this clause, Civil Code § 1717, Code of Civil Procedure § 1021, or another applicable law. Statutory rules defining the prevailing party, limiting fees, or awarding fees on a claim or defense control. This section does not create an agreement to arbitrate.

Optional contractual fee cap: $_____

If the cap field is blank, this Agreement creates no contractual fee cap.

27. Recording Tenant shall not record this Agreement or a memorandum of it without Landlord's prior written consent. Unauthorized recording is a potential breach, but it does not automatically terminate the tenancy. Landlord may seek only remedies available after all required notice, cure, just-cause, and judicial procedures.

28. Governing Law This Agreement is governed by California law. Applicable federal and local law also controls.

29. Severability If any provision of this Agreement or its application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder and its application to other persons and circumstances are unaffected and shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

30. Binding Effect The lawful covenants, obligations, and conditions of this Agreement bind and benefit the parties and their permitted heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, subject to Section 6 and applicable law.

31. Headings Headings are for convenience and do not determine the parties' rights or obligations.

32. Construction Words used in one number include the other when context permits. Tenant includes every tenant who signs this Agreement. Gendered words, if any, include all genders.

33. Non-Waiver A party's delay or failure to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a waiver on another occasion. A negotiated waiver should be knowing and in writing, except where law provides otherwise. No waiver is effective if prohibited by law. Acceptance of partial, late, or other Rent has the effect assigned by applicable law.

34. Entire Agreement; Modification This Agreement and its signed or checked attachments are the parties' agreement. A negotiated modification must be in writing and signed by the affected parties. This does not prevent a lawful Rent change, statutory notice, reasonable rule, accommodation, owner/manager update, or other change that applicable law permits without a bilateral amendment. Electronic signatures count only as the parties lawfully agree.

35. Notices and Communications A notice governed by a statute, regulation, court rule, or local ordinance must be served by the method and becomes effective at the time that law provides. This includes notices to pay or quit, cure or quit, terminate or evict; entry notices; Security Deposit itemizations, supporting materials, photographs, and refunds except where Civil Code § 1950.5 expressly permits an agreed electronic method; service of process; federal lead-based-paint or other federal notices; local rent-control, just-cause, relocation, registration, or housing-code notices; and any notice requiring personal service, posting, certified or registered mail, or first-class mail. This section does not alter Code of Civil Procedure § 1162 or Civil Code §§ 1633.3, 1946.1, 1950.5, or 1954.

Statutory notices

Ordinary contractual communications

Communications not subject to a mandatory method may be delivered personally or sent to the postal addresses below. Email is a courtesy copy only unless the parties check the following election:

Operative ordinary-email election. The parties agree that email is operative for ordinary contractual communications where no law requires another method. An operative email is received when sent without a bounce or failure notice.

The election never applies to a statutory notice or other carve-out listed above. Each party shall promptly update postal and email addresses. A change is effective when received by a lawful method.

Landlord and Tenant contact information for ordinary communications is stated in the Data Schedule.

36. Joint and Several Obligations Each Tenant who signs is jointly and severally responsible for Tenant obligations while that Tenant remains legally bound, except to the extent a statute, court order, written release, or protected termination changes that responsibility. Security Deposit return among multiple adult tenants is governed by Civil Code § 1950.5(h) and any permitted written allocation agreement.
