Halloween Move-In? Don’t Get Spooked by California Law!
Before carving pumpkins at your new All East Bay Properties rental, ace this Trivia Tuesday: What must a tenant do to avoid a midnight mix-up? B) Sign the lease & pay first month’s rent Civil Code § 1947.
California requires a signed lease and upfront rent to secure keys—no ghostly shortcuts! Cap your security deposit at 1 month’s rent (unfurnished), do a move-in inspection, and if there’s an HOA, reserve elevators + pay refundable deposits early. Snap photos, transfer utilities, and grab renter’s insurance. Follow these rules for a fang-tastic, drama-free haunt!👻
