What to know about renting in Santa Ana?

Landlords can only withhold security deposits after you move out under one of the following four conditions: unpaid rent; repair fees for normal wear and damages; replacing any personal property damaged by the tenant; and cleaning fees. For all other instances, they’re required by law to return your full deposit. Landlords need to provide 30 days’ notice if they wish for you to vacate their rental. In case of severe lease violations, however — such as irreparable damage to the unit, drug dealing or injury to a fellow tenant — the owner has the right to a three-day termination of the lease.
