    Default Re: Does Your Landlord Have to Give You a Copy of Your Lease

    Your landlord should give you a copy when you sign your lease. If your landlord does not, or if your lease continues into another year, your landlord should provide you with a copy upon your demand.
    Quote Quoting California Civil Code, Sec. 1962
    (a) Any owner of a dwelling structure specified in Section 1961 or a party signing a rental agreement or lease on behalf of the owner shall do all of the following:...

    (4) Provide a copy of the rental agreement or lease to the tenant within 15 days of its execution by the tenant. Once each calendar year thereafter, upon request by the tenant, the owner or owner's agent shall provide an additional copy to the tenant within 15 days. If the owner or owner's agent does not possess the rental agreement or lease or a copy of it, the owner or owner's agent shall instead furnish the tenant with a written statement stating that fact and containing the information required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).
