Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Management company fails to provide copy of signed lease
Hollywood, CA.
On July 1, 2005, I signed a lease to rent an apartment for a term of six (6)
months. One and a half (1) 1/2 months rent as a security deposit was paid.
A copy of all signed documents was requested and I was then told that they
did not have a copy machine on-site; the management company would have
to copy and return them for pick-up. I asked twice during July and August.
At the end of August, I included a letter with rent requesting copies of the
lease. Nine (9) days have past. I have little if any confidence in my
relationship with this corporations representative property manager and fear
that ''invented and/or contrived claims'' may arise after performing, vacating,
and waiting 21 days for the return of my security deposit.
Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

Sounds like you might want to call the Rent Stabilization Board and ask their assistance in obtaining a copy of your lease.
