Landlord Visitor Restrictions California

Summary

Landlords in California typically cannot restrict tenant visitors unless the visits violate lease terms or disturb the peace. Examples of disturbing the peace include excessive noise, fighting, or using offensive language that could incite violence. Early visits are generally acceptable if they do not violate local noise regulations or lease quiet hours. Always check your lease agreement for specific visitor rules.
