Is it against the law to charge 1st, last, and deposit on rental property in the state of CA.?
                     
 




ticketoride04
It is not, but you must not exceed twice the rental price for your deposit unless the tenant has a water bed, then its 2 1/2 times the rents asked.
utility deposits are separate...something reasonable.


daddyjohndeer
Nope that is perfectly legal and very common. The only problem is someone coming up with all that money at once. A alternative is 1st mo and security.


kimmamarie
It is against the law here in MI. You can only charge 1st month rent and deposit OR fist and last month. And the deposit can only equal to 1 1/2 times the rent and no higher.
Most people, especially now in this economy, cannot afford more than a deposit and the first months rent.


kimmy3
No.


Elana
Nope ... as long as you make intent known in the lease its OK.


howie r
no its not against the law.
