    Tips for Renting in Oxnard, CA

    When a tenant is moving out of a rental unit in Oxnard, it’s a good idea for them to ask the landlord to do a property inspection a couple of weeks before the tenant leaves the unit. This provides an opportunity for the landlord to let the tenant know whether any deductions will be made from the returned security deposit due to cleanliness or damage issues that the tenant can address before they move.

    Landlords must ensure that rental units are habitable, with hot and cold running water, heating and air-conditioning, and proper security measures in place such as door and window locks. Anything that can cause harm or health issues for a tenant, such as mold or electrical problems, must be remedied by the landlord.
