My son just ended a lease. It expired on 9.11.14 with a walk out inspection scheduled for the 12th. Landlord text him and said he had something else to do and changed it to the 15th. He asked for a lot of things to be fixed and locks to be changed. He fixed them all and handed in the keys on the 24th. Today is day 21 and legally he should get the final checklist and his deposit returned. The landlord text him today and says he still has some things to do on his checklist. My son told him today is day 21 which he must know because he text him. The landlord told him that because he didn't turn in the keys until the 24th the 21 days start on the 24th. Is this legal?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh I am in CA!
He should be lucky the landlord isn't trying to charge him rent for those few days....
I disagree. The LL, not the tenant, was unable to keep the walk-through appointment and changed the date. But technically the 21 days start on the day the keys were handed over.
If he is still living there, and the landlord couldnt rent it to anyone else and moved out on the 24th it sounds legal. The lease end date doesnt matter, the move out date does.
