Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Co-Signer
What are the obligations of a co-signer on a month to month rental agreement. If the rent is due on the 4th and late on the 9th, can the owner of the property call the co-signers and demand the $1000.00 rent payment even if it is only the 7th of the month?
Thank you

Yes, since the rent is due on the 4th. Be thankful that the landlord hasn't yet served a 3-day notice that would cause your eviction.

Yes they can. The "late" in the agreement refers to late fees, not due date.
