Purchase And Sale Agreement
California
When to sign a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and need to know when I should sign the purchase and sale agreement. I have been given an offer from the seller and have been told that I need to sign the agreement in order to move forward with the purchase. I am concerned about signing the agreement too soon and have questions about the timing and what risks I may be taking if I sign before I am sure I am ready.
Myrna L.
If you are not ready to buy a property, it is only fair not to waste sellers’ time who are trying to sell their property. If, however, you are ready to buy a property but is concerned about unforeseeable risks, you can mitigate or eliminate your risks by spelling out contingencies in your Purchase and Sales Agreement. If the conditions or contingencies are not met, you do not have to go through with the deal.

Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.
Myrna L.
Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Residential Lease Agreement
California
Renewal clauses in a residential lease agreement?
I am a tenant in a residential lease agreement and I recently received a renewal offer from my landlord. I am concerned that the renewal clause may not be in line with state law and would like to know what rights I have as a tenant in this situation. I would like to understand more about the renewal clause and how it applies to my situation.
Sarah S.
In California, residential rental agreements are governed by a set of laws and regulations designed to protect both landlords and tenants. One crucial aspect of these agreements is the rental renewal clause, which outlines the terms and conditions for extending a lease beyond its initial term. Understanding how rental renewal clauses work under California law is essential for both landlords and tenants to ensure a smooth and legal renting experience. The Basics of Rental Renewal Clauses A rental renewal clause is a provision in a lease agreement that dictates the terms and conditions under which a lease can be extended after its initial term expires. In California, rental renewal clauses are subject to specific regulations to protect the rights of tenants. Here are some key points to keep in mind: Written Notice: Under California law, landlords must provide tenants with written notice of their intent to renew the lease or terminate the tenancy. This notice must be provided within a specific timeframe, usually 30 to 60 days before the current lease expires, depending on the length of the tenancy. Rent Increases: If a landlord intends to increase the rent upon renewal, they must follow the state's rent control laws, which may limit the amount and frequency of rent increases. It's essential for tenants to be aware of their rights regarding rent hikes. Tenant Rights: Tenants have the right to accept or decline a lease renewal. If a tenant decides not to renew the lease, they are generally required to provide written notice within a specified timeframe, typically 30 days before the lease expires. Lease Term: Rental renewal clauses may specify the duration of the renewed lease term. Some may automatically renew for the same term as the initial lease, while others may offer options for shorter or longer renewal periods. Review the Lease Agreement: It's crucial for both landlords and tenants to carefully review their lease agreements to understand the specific terms and conditions related to renewal. Any agreed-upon terms should be clearly documented in the lease. Benefits for Landlords and Tenants Rental renewal clauses can benefit both landlords and tenants in several ways: For Landlords: Provides a mechanism for maintaining a stable and predictable rental income. Allows landlords to retain responsible and reliable tenants for extended periods. Streamlines the leasing process by avoiding frequent turnover. For Tenants: Offers the option to secure a home for an extended period without the risk of eviction. Provides an opportunity to negotiate for more favorable lease terms or rent rates. Helps maintain housing stability, especially in competitive rental markets. Conclusion In California, understanding rental renewal clauses is essential for both landlords and tenants to ensure a fair and legal renting experience. These clauses provide a framework for extending a lease beyond its initial term, but they must adhere to state laws and regulations. Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, knowing your rights and responsibilities regarding rental renewals is crucial for a harmonious and successful landlord-tenant relationship in the Golden State.

Quitclaim Deed
California
Do quitclaim deeds expire?
I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.
Sarah S.
A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Commercial Building Lease
California
What's CAM charge in a commercial lease?
I am currently negotiating a commercial lease for a property where I plan to operate my business. As part of the negotiation process, the landlord has mentioned the concept of a CAM (Common Area Maintenance) charge, which I am unfamiliar with. I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand what a CAM charge is, what it covers, and what my responsibilities as a tenant would be in relation to this charge.
Paul S.
CAM charges are for common area maintenance. For example, in an office building, CAM charges are for maintaining the lobby, elevators, corridors, and outside areas (such as the parking lot). If you are looking at renting a space, the landlord should be able to provide you with CAM numbers for that space for the past several years, so you know what to expect.
