breaking a residential lease
I have relocated to southern California for work. My appartment in northern CA is telling me that I will need to pay about $3000 in penalties. My rent is $1100. I was told that is I relocate a certain distance, that they can not penalize me due to the fact that I now live 500 miles away. I left my 30 notice and am willing to pay the extra month’s rent even though I am already living down south.

Can you please advise me of the CA laws regarding acceptable penanties for breaking a lease due to relocation?

THANX!!!

Rental Lease Agreement
I have a tenant that has vacated the rental property prior to the end of the lease. What are my options? My ”boilerplate lease contract has a sentence the reads ”This lease can be terminated by 30 days written notice from either party”. Can a tenant terminate the lease because of this?

i recently found out i have an eviction on my credit. the weird part is i have never signed a rental lease/agrreement in my life! i automatically got to thinking about when my mother got evicted back in 2006 from the apartment com[lex i grew up in and where i lived since i was 9yrs old. but it didnt seem right that my name would have been on the eviction papers/documents. i was never served with any papers and never formally evicted, how can this be? other than someone forging my name(i really hope my mother didnt do that!) what other explanation is there for this???? note: i also found my names on the case summary! case # 06C00074 at bellflower court, california
