Tips for Renting in Glendale

Renters’ rights are governed by California state law in Glendale, and are typical of most US renters’ rights. However, renters in Glendale should be aware that in California, tenants have the right to “repair and deduct,” meaning they can withhold rent or choose to repair items that have been left neglected (like a broken water heater, AC unit, etc.) and then ultimately deduct that amount from their rent.

California also has a strict policy on renters’ security deposits, as a landlord cannot collect a deposit that equals more than two months’ rent—or three months’ rent in case the unit is furnished.
