FAQ
Breaking a lease in California with a roommate happens. If you or a roommate moves out, you're both still responsible for paying rent as per your lease. If the person not making the payment (breaking the lease) has a co-signer, the co-signer will be contacted for the remaining rent.
The landlord can include you in an eviction (unlawful detainer) court case even if your name is not on the lease or rental agreement.
How to write a roommate agreement Names of both tenants. The property address. The dates the lease begins and ends. The amount of rent each person pays. Who pays for utilities. Who pays the security deposit. Which bedroom each person occupies. Who buys food, or if you're each buying your own food.
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.
How to write a California lease agreement Identify the parties involved. Clearly state the names and contact information of both the landlord and the prospective tenant. Define the rental property. Specify the lease term. Outline rent and payment terms. Include important provisions. Comply with legal requirements.
Understanding Roommate Laws in California Co-tenant: If your roommate signed the lease with you, they have equal rights to the property. Evicting them often requires coordination with the landlord.
Legally, all tenants do not have to be on a lease agreement in California. However, landlords should definitely consider including all tenants of legal age on the lease. There are some exceptions to this rule, though, depending on the situation of your tenant.
