Tips for Renting in Hawthorne
Renters’ rights in Hawthorne are under the jurisdiction of California state law and are in line with most national renters’ rights. Although California does have some interesting differences that renters in Hawthorne should be aware of, most importantly, the right to repair and deduct. This means if tenants have any major issues with important items that are neglected by the landlord—like a broken heater, window, etc.—then tenants can either repair the item or pay to have it repaired, and then deduct the cost of the repair from their monthly rent. But something to note: this amount cannot exceed one month’s rent payment, or be done more than twice in one calendar year.
