Yes, if you have not fulfilled the terms of the lease. For instance if you moved out during the term of the lease, you would be liable for ALL the rent due for the entire term of the lease even though you had moved out. You may also not have given any notice required by the lease and thus be liable for the rent during this notice period. You may also have neglected to inform the landlord in writing that you wished to end the lease in which case you are still bound by the lease.

Understand that a lease is a binding contract it gives YOU certain rights but it also requires you to pay the rent due to the landlord.

Does the landlord have to knock before entering the property if 24 hours notice is given to the tenant?

It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.


How often does your landlord legally have to rewire your house?

The landlord does not have to do any rewiring for you. The landlord has the obligation to make the place basically habitable. That's all. If the severe problems affect the usability of the house, like having no lights, getting shocks, or the heaters not working, you can force the landlord to deal with it. Much simpler, though, is to move. Having livability issues with the house may be grounds to break the lease in your state.


Is the landlord responsible for the mice infestation?

Yes! Your landlord is required to make sure the building is up to code, and a serious rodent problem is a violation. Talk to your landlord before going to the authorities, though. Some landlords might ask you to buy traps or get an exterminator, but they have to pay for it. Answer. Yes your landlord is very much responsible to that you can also sue him if he did nothing to get rid of those mice.

What rights does a renter have about getting their security deposit back in the state of California?

It depends on the contact or mutual agreement between the two parties. The landlord may deduct your deposit due to damages made to the unit by the tenant. Landlord may not charge for normal wear and tear as it is expected. If the Landlord says your deposit in nonrefundable then you may go ahead and sue even though you have signed the rental contract. A nonrefundable deposit is illegal in California and will not be valid in the court of law. You may also want to visit your local court on procedures you must follow before suing. A judge in small claims will want information on your part stating that you did everything in your power to settle this prior to the hearing. Good Luck!
