    Living in Chula Vista, CA

    Chula Vista is Spanish for “beautiful view” – and it certainly lives up to its name!

    It's a perfect city for outdoor enthusiasts. San Diego Bay and the nearby mountains create a scenic atmosphere for hikers, joggers, cyclists, or those just wanting to enjoy a picnic under the sun. And speaking of the bay, it's a great place for kayakers and boaters.

    If you'd rather just relax or do some shopping, downtown Chula Vista is filled with retailers, restaurants, and entertainment options, from movies to outdoor concerts.

    Nearby San Diego is also home to the Padres and Chargers, two premier professional sports teams.

    There are a couple downsides to living in Chula Vista though. For one, southern California is susceptible to natural disasters, like earthquakes and wildfires. And the city's proximity to San Diego and the Mexican border means traffic can be a mess at times.

    Tips for Renting in Chula Vista

    How can you not want to call this gorgeous city by the sea home? But before signing a lease, let's get you up to speed on a couple local tenant laws.

    California doesn't have rent control, but if your landlord wants to raise your rent at the end of a lease, they're required to provide 30 to 60 days notice – depending on the size of the increase.

    California law also requires landlords to perform a walk through of the property two weeks before you move out. This ensures that you're aware of any issues and have time to fix them.

    Of course, all rental agreements are slightly different, so make sure to read yours thoroughly before signing.
