Property Manager – Woodland Hills
Obligations of Your Landlord
Security Deposits
Landlords may require tenants to pay a deposit when they begin renting. The security deposit cannot be more than one and a half times your monthly rent and must state in writing any deposits which are non-refundable.
Safe Environment
Landlords must provide several things in exchange for rental payments. One of the most basic and important requirements is that your landlord provide you and your family with a healthy and safe living environment. Your living environment includes your apartment or home, and any common areas the landlord owns and holds open to residents.
Things Your Landlord Must Provide
The law specifically states:
- Your landlord must keep all appliances, which they supply, in working order.
- Your landlord must provide you with a way to dispose of garbage.
- Your landlord must make it possible for you to receive running water, including hot water.
- Your landlord must supply everything they promised in the lease. They can only shut off your utilities in a few very limited situations.
If you rent a home, your landlord and yourself can agree that you will perform the maintenance on the property. You must, however, be given some consideration, such as being paid or having your rent reduced.
