Commercial Lease Agreements in California
California commercial leases must comply with the California Civil Code. Landlords must state whether the premises have undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) for ADA compliance (Cal. Civ. Code § 1938).
Additionally, security deposits must be returned within 30 days if no deductions exist, or 14 days if deductions are made for repairs/cleaning (Cal. Civ. Code § 1950.7).
