Western Center on Law & Poverty Legal Analysis Highlights Flaws of Landlords’ Scheme

A new legal analysis released today by the Western Center on Law & Poverty brings to light the devastating impact the Landlords’ Hidden Agendas Scheme could have for all California renters, but particularly seniors, the disabled and working families. Their analysis warns that the measure would abolish rent control and other laws which increase the supply of affordable housing, and would threaten laws intended to protect tenants. In fact, they say the measure could “undo centuries of real property law and consumer/tenant protections.”

Landlords are the financiers who rent out their property to the renters for a specific period of time. The home owners make huge money from this rental business whereas the occupants get a house to live in. There are some landlord tenant rights that can easily help both the parties to evade or resolve the housing contract. The first and foremost important right is the signing of the charter. It is the written rental agreement between the landlord and a tenant. This bond protects both of them from any future misfortune. The lease can be set for a time period of 6 months, 1 year and so on. Such an agreement includes security deposit, number of residing members, due date of rent, late charges, property repair responsibility, electricity and other bills, etc. If in any case some amendments are required in charter, joint contract between landlord and tenant is must. After signing the lease, both the parties are equally and fully responsible for each other written statements. Visit rent arrears to get more information about this.
