California Standard Residential Lease Agreement requirements

A standard California residential lease agreement is a rental agreement between a landowner and a tenant for a certain period of time (start and end dates). The renter normally starts the procedure by seeing the property and filling out a rental application (which may require a fee). The landlord will then decide whether to accept or reject the renter. The renter will pay a security deposit and the first month's rent at the time of the lease agreement if the application is accepted.
