California Rental Law Now Requires Working Stove and Fridge in Every Kitchen
Hi! Janice Lee here 👋 Renting out a place without a fridge or stove? Think again 🍳 Starting this year in California, a kitchen without a working stove and refrigerator is considered legally uninhabitable. These appliances are now basic necessities, just like running water and heat 📋 Landlords: on any new or renewed lease you must provide both and keep them working, with 30 days to repair or replace if one fails 🔧 Renters: a real win for your budget, though you can still bring your own if it is written into your lease 💰 Do not let the new kitchen requirements catch you off guard. Need help navigating the rules? Contact me, Janice Lee, your Top Real Estate Agent for all of your real estate needs.
