Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
vacation rental agreement
We rented our vacation home to a
group of younger men for 3 nights a
month ago. Our maintenance crew
found a ''meth'' pipe with residue
that was left behind. Our contract
states: Tenant shall use the property
for legal purposes only and other use,
such as but not limited to, illegal drug
use, abuse of any person, harboring
fugitives, etc. shall cause termination
of this agreement with no refund of
rents or deposits.
We told the renter that they would
not receive their deposit back and he
is threatening to sue. What should
we do?

Re: vacation rental agreement
You didn't terminate the agreement prematurely because of their activity. They paid, and you let them use the property. The agreement then expired. I believe they should be entitled to the return of the deposit. Just add them to a list of people to whom you will never again rent the vacation home.
