Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Rental guarantee

Daughter moved in to rental unit May 2008. roommate moved in in Feb 2009. Roommate needed a guarantor which my husband signed for her. They now want him to sign another form which is backdated to June 2007 for some reason. My daughters name is spelled wrong and on othe the items say that if my husband shoud die I will then be responsible and if I die it would fall on my other hers. what do you think?

Re: Rental guarantee

I think the landlord is trying to pull a fast one on you. You should never sign a document made effect to a date before the services were used. Your husband should not have signed as a guaranator of the other tenant [of what advantage is it to you or your daughter?]. What do they claim is the advantage to you to do any of what they want? I would tell your daughter to start looking for another place to live.
