The California Apartment Association
- Resident Bill of Rights
As formally adopted by Lightner Property Group 1995
As members of the California Apartment Association, Lightner Property Group takes great pride in providing quality rental homes for our residents. We value our residents and recognize our partnership with them in maintaining the rental housing industry. We believe residents should be aware of their rights in this partnership. Therefore, Lightner Property Group formally adopted the California Apartment Association Resident Bill of Rights in 1995 and has proudly followed it since then.
The Resident Bill of Rights states:
- A Resident has the right to be treated fairly and equitably when applying for, living in, and vacating a rental residence.
- A Resident has the right to be given notice prior to any entrance into a rental residence by a rental property owner or manger, except in an emergency.
- A Resident has the right, upon written request to the rental property owner or manger, to a prompt response to requests for repairs.
- A Resident has the right to the return of any security deposit that may have been collected by the rental property owner or manager and a good faith accounting of any charges against that deposit within 21 days after the rental residence has been vacated.
The Resident Bill of rights is not to be construed as a list of legal rights of the resident or the rental property owner and is not exhaustive or exclusive of any such rights.
The Bill of Rights is available in our Public Library for download in PDF format for our web visitors.
