My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: CA
I had a tenant moved out a few months ago. The gave 30 days notice said they will be out by the end of the month. When we there on the 1st of the next month as we have originally agree to collect the house; they were not ready their stuff was still in the house. The gave us the house 2 days later. So we charged them for the two days.
But now they wanted to be pro-rated for the days they did not used when they move in according to them. They presented as evidence, they signed the contract on the second of the month they moved in (they were charged the full months rent). But I signed the contract on the 1st. But this contract is from more than 4 years ago. I can't really remember 4 years ago. But I am pretty sure it is because they could not make it on the 1st to move in and sign the paper work.
What do you guys think do I have to prorate them from over 4 years ago (statute of limitation is 4 yeas for debt on written contracts in CA).
