Landlord Do's & Don'ts Needs Disclaimer for Calif. by Daniel (CA) on December 11, 2014 @20:41

                              
The LPA newsletter stated as follows:
Landlord Do's & Don'ts
Returning the Security Deposit
What The LPA says you should do and shouldn't do:
-->DON'T have a "walk-through" with the tenant before move-out to determine the condition of the rental. Tenants like to do this to reassure themselves that they will get all their security deposit back. Instead of calling it a "walk-through", I like to call it the "AMBUSH" because that's really how it is when you are put on the spot. The tenant is still in possession of the rental and is insisting on getting the full deposit back.

In California you are required to do this. And I wish you would come the California and fight against this requirement. It gets very technical since this is required.

So that when I conduct this inspection, if there are any items blocking inspection, I then note and record that I am unable to inspect the area. Or if the departing tenant is hostile in any way , I leave on the spot and write on my notes that unable to inspect because tenant is blocking access.

You do not have to perform the pre move out inspection. You just have to offer the pre move out inspection in writing that would occur somewhere from 2 weeks before move out to a few days before move out.

It seems as though there are no attorneys willing to fight these anti LL laws. However, there are a few, but they seem to leave issues open to new law suits where they guarantee future income from litigation.

One more example is , in LA COUNTY, they can assign your eviction case to anywhere in the county; where ever there is an available court room on the docket; even though they are calculating from months away. So there are no lawyers willing to fight this rule, because they will just get more money from having to travel a longer distance.
