Lease Copy Request Rights

Summary

Tenants in California have the right to obtain a copy of their lease agreement. If the original lease is lost or stolen, it is recommended to request a copy in writing from the landlord. This creates a formal record of the request. If the landlord refuses or does not respond, seeking legal advice may be necessary.
