What to watch forⓘ

  1. Tenants here have reported no heat or no hot water.
    details ▸

    California law requires heating facilities in good working order, and plumbing facilities in good working order including hot and cold running water. A rental unit that substantially lacks either may be legally uninhabitable, which is the standard the implied warranty of habitability sets for every residential tenancy in the state.

    Ask how heat and hot water are supplied and who pays for them. If either fails once you live here, put the request to the landlord in writing and keep a copy.

    • California Tenant Guide
    • San Francisco Housing Code §701
  2. Smoke detector problems have been reported here.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look for a smoke detector in each bedroom and in the common stairwell, and for a carbon monoxide detector if the unit has a gas stove, a gas heater or an attached garage.
    details ▸

    California law requires working smoke detectors in all bedrooms and other designated areas of a rental unit, and apartment complexes must also have them in common stairwells. Any unit with appliances that burn fossil fuels such as natural gas, propane or fuel oil, or with an attached garage, must also have working carbon monoxide detectors.

  • Tenants here have reported pests.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look along baseboards and inside low cabinets for droppings, greasy rub marks or tracks, and check whether the bins outside overflow and whether gaps around exterior doors are sealed.
    details ▸

    California law requires buildings and grounds to be kept clean and sanitary and free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin. San Francisco requires property owners to keep their property free of vermin, and requires an owner or manager to respond to a tenant's bed bug complaint by hiring a licensed pest control operator.
