Frequently Asked Questions About Leasing

Securing a signed lease is the foundation of a profitable rental investment.

At All Inclusive Realty Group, we handle every step of the leasing process to protect your investment and ensure compliance with California law.

Lease Terms and Structure

Our standard residential lease is a 12-month agreement that clearly defines the responsibilities of both owner and tenant. Each lease addresses rent amount, due dates, late fees, maintenance obligations, pet policies, and move-out requirements. The lease is your primary legal protection should a dispute arise.

California Law Compliance

All leases are drafted in full compliance with California regulations, including:

  • AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act) — Rent increases are capped at 5% plus local CPI or 10%, whichever is lower, for qualifying properties
  • Security deposit limits — Deposits are capped at one month's rent per California Civil Code Section 1950.5
  • Required disclosures — Lead paint, mold, bed bugs, flood zone, Megan's Law, and all other state-mandated disclosures

Tenant Screening Process

Every applicant undergoes a thorough screening that includes credit history (minimum 650 score), income verification (approximately 3x monthly rent), eviction history, criminal background check, and rental references. All adults aged 18 and older must submit a separate application.

Tenant Placement Timeline

From listing to signed lease, our average placement timeline is 2 to 4 weeks depending on market conditions. We begin marketing immediately upon vacancy notice and use Rently self-showing technology to maximize showing volume during the turnover period.

Lease Renewals

We proactively manage lease renewals beginning 90 days before expiration. Renewal terms are evaluated against current market rents, and we coordinate any allowable rent adjustments with the property owner before presenting the renewal offer to the tenant.

Common Leasing Questions

What Type of Lease Does All Inclusive Realty Group Require?

All Inclusive Realty Group recommends a one-year lease on all properties. However, we do provide service which best meets the owner's needs. If an owner would rather secure a 6-month or a month-to month lease, we are more than happy to accommodate this request.

Why Should I Sign a One-Year Lease?

We recommend a one year lease to avoid frequent turnover. Month-to-month leases allow tenants to move at any time (with a 30 day notice). If a renter moves out two months after moving in, the owner will have to turn the unit over again, which can be costly depending on the amount of time and effort it takes to re-rent the unit.

How Much Should I Charge for a Security Deposit?

All Inclusive Realty Group generally asks for a security deposit of equal value to the rent on each property. However, deposit amounts are negotiable. Some owners request additional deposit amounts from tenants with lower credit scores or pets. Your property manager will work with you to set the best security deposit criteria for your property.

What Happens When the Lease Expires?

All Inclusive Realty Group agents contact the tenant 60 days prior to the end of the lease term to request lease renewal. We work diligently to sign lease renewals with current residents. This minimizes turnover which maximizes profitability.
