Lease vs the Law, which one goes?
Hi everyone!
I am a renter who just moved out. The lease I signed with our landlord said:
SECURITY DEPOSIT: A Security Deposit in the amount of $3,500 (US Dollars) shall be required by the Tenant(s) at the execution of this Agreement to the Landlord for the faithful performance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Security Deposit is to be returned to the Tenant(s) within _10_ days after the end of the Lease Term less any damage charges and without interest.
California law says 21 days.
The landlord called out a couple of minor issues that he's upset about today. Tomorrow is day 10. Am I entitled to the full deposit amount based on the lease signed?
Thanks!!
