Landlord insurance does not automatically cover tenant damage and it depends on the scenario in which the damage was caused. Accidental damage can be purchased as an add-on to a policy and can cover unexpected harm to either the building or contents, or both.
Amount The California Civil Code establishes the maximum amount that landlords can charge tenants as a security deposit. For a non-furnished residence, a landlord cannot charge more than twice the rent, plus the first month's rent, as a deposit.
Yes, California landlords are supposed to to mitigate damages if you move out before your lease is up. Civil Code 1951.2 says that your landlord cannot require you to cover unpaid rent that could have been reasonably mitigated by re-renting the property.
However, a landlord is not responsible for repairing damage caused by the tenant, or the tenant's guests, children or pets. California Civil Code section 1941 states that when a landlord rents property to a tenant as a place to live, the property must be in a "habitable" condition.
Yes, it is legal to charge for your own labor. If you want to look up the law that allows you to do it, it's under California Civil Code 1950.5 and it says that landlords can charge a "reasonable hourly rate" for their labor.
California state law indicates that a landlord can be charged up to three times the deposit as a fine for illegally withholding money from former tenants for labor and repairs. Protect yourself by making the labor rate completely reasonable if were to ever be reviewed by a judge.
In most cases, a landlord can make a tenant pay for repairs if the tenant is responsible for the damage, and that damage goes beyond normal wear-and-tear.
Your responsibilitiesYou can't be forced to do repairs that are your landlord's responsibility. If you damage another tenant's flat, eg if water leaks into another flat from an overflowing bath, you're responsible for paying for the repairs.
Landlords' responsibilities The law requires landlords to keep the premises safe and in good condition and to: Fix water leaks from the roof, doors, windows, or walls. Repair plumbing, gas, heating, and electrical problems. Keep the grounds outside your unit clean, safe, and free of pests such as mice and roaches.
