Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Dear "Law Guru" folks:
My girlfriend and I just signed (and returned with $500 deposit) a tenancy lease to move in on the 1st. then we got a (phone) message saying it wouldn't be available for (at least) another week.
What rights do we have- is the landlord obliged to pay for resulting storage, hotel, mover rescheduling, truck re-rental, and other fees? If he resists, how do we approach the situation?
thank you, and may everyone get justice!

You will need to look at your lease. Most leases have a damages limitation clause that provides that the only remedy for late delivery of the premises is rent abatement.
