What you need to know
What it is
A California Room Rental Agreement for a rental property. Landlord-tenant law in the state where the property sits (deposits, notice periods, required disclosures) applies to it, so check those rules for your situation before you sign.
When to use it
Use this when the rental property sits in the state shown — not where the landlord or tenant lives.
Why it matters
Generic templates from other states often miss required disclosures or use unenforceable notice periods.
Common mistakes
- Using a template from the wrong state
- Skipping required disclosures before move-in
- Wrong notice period for rent increases or termination
California security deposit rule for a residential tenancy: limit: 1 month's rent; return deadline: 21 days. Max 1 month's rent (2 months only for a natural-person landlord owning no more than two rental properties with four units total, never from a service member). Must return within 21 days with itemized statement. Cal. Civ. Code 1950.5.
