CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL LEASE


Why use our lease, instead of the dozens of others on the internet?  Unlike our competitor's leases, our form is specific to the State of California, not the generic, "one-size-fits-all," leases that you see on other sites.  If the lease you use is not designed to comply with the laws of California, it may not be enforceable in California courts, and that could cost you a large amount of money.  For instance, did you know that you are required by California law to inform your tenant in writing whether or not any illegal controlled substances have ever been dumped on the property?  Did you know that California even has it's own unique laws on the use of water beds in a rental?  Why risk your property and money with leases that won't work in California?

Our lease is professionally formatted in Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, and Adobe PDF, so you choose the format that's best for you.  Each lease comes with complete, easy to understand instructions for filling it out.  Download the individual documents or get both the lease and instructions in one zipped file. And, at only $6.00, we believe it's the most affordable California lease available on the internet.  Get immediate access to your California rental agreement by clicking on the PayPal button on the left, then wait a few seconds to be redirected to a page with your user name and password.

NOTE:  If the residence you're renting was constructed prior to 1978, you are required by federal law to give the tenant a lead paint disclosure form and provide the tenant with a federal pamphlet on lead paint hazards.  Download them for free below.
