FAQ
Most rental units in Alameda are fully regulated, i.e. all provisions of the Rent Ordinance apply.
A California standard residential lease agreement is a fixed-term contract between a landlord and a tenant regarding a rental property. It typically covers matters such as maintenance, health hazards, and monthly rent.
Unwritten leases that are for a term of longer than one year or that expire more than one year after the agreement is reached are unenforceable. If a tenant enters into possession under an unenforceable lease, the tenant becomes a tenant at-will.
California law mandates that rental agreements include specific details to ensure clarity and compliance. These elements include: Identifying Parties: Names and contact information of both the landlord and tenant(s).
Agreements that are over a year should be in writing to be enforceable in court. Agreements that are a year or less can be verbal or written.
Verbal rental agreements are legally binding in California, but it's best to document important communications and keep records of rent payments. Landlords must follow the proper eviction process, providing adequate notice and obtaining a court judgment, even if there is no written lease.
The new California law puts a statewide ceiling on rent hikes each year. So if inflation was 4% in your city last year, the maximum increase would be 9% for your unit. This provides an important check against runaway rent spikes every time a lease is renewed.
In general, business contracts do not need to be notarized unless there are circumstances inherent in the transaction that might lead one party or the other to be concerned about the identity and/or authority of the other party to enter into the transaction.
Common Documents Requiring Notarization Revocable Living Trust. Amendment to Revocable Trust. Transfer Deeds to transfer real estate. Any document to be recorded. Sworn Statement. Parental Consent for Travel. Grant Deed/Quitclaim Deed. Interspousal Transfer Deed.
In some states, notarization isn't necessary for leases shorter than one year. For example, California does not require notarization for standard residential leases, while Ohio may require it for some lease types.
