Summary
In California, landlords must provide at least a 30-day notice for changes in lease agreements, including payment due dates. For repairs, landlords must give notice before entering for non-emergency repairs and cannot charge tenants unless the damage is due to misuse or neglect. Light bulb replacements in common areas are typically the landlords responsibility, while tenants usually handle replacements within their units unless otherwise specified in the lease. Consult a legal professional for specific advice.Full Conversation
