California Parking & Storage Addendum

This Parking & Storage Addendum is built with California as the governing state. These are the California landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

California rules at a glance

California rules for a Parking & Storage Addendum
Late feesNo fixed cap; must be a reasonable estimate of actual lossCiv. Code §1671(d)
Returned-check fee$25 for the first bounced check and $35 for each one after (§1719).
Landlord entry24 hours’ written notice, during business hoursCiv. Code §1954

Rent, late fees & rent caps

For units covered by the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482), rent increases are limited to 5% plus the regional CPI, capped at 10% in any 12-month period, with only one increase per year (§1947.12). Single-family homes and condos owned by an individual, and buildings under 15 years old, are generally exempt from the cap — but the notice rules below still apply.

  • Increase notice — 30 days’ written notice for an increase of 10% or less over the prior year; 90 days if the increase is more than 10% (§827).
  • Late fees — No statutory number — California treats late fees as liquidated damages that must reasonably approximate the landlord’s actual loss, or they’re void as a penalty (§1671(d)).
  • Returned-check fee — $25 for the first bounced check and $35 for each one after (§1719).
  • No junk fees — Since July 2025, a landlord can’t charge a fee for paying rent by check or for serving a legal notice (SB 611).
  • Local rent control — Costa-Hawkins limits how far cities can go, but places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and Santa Monica run their own stricter ordinances — check the local rent board.

Landlord entry & access

A California landlord must give reasonable written notice — 24 hours is presumed reasonable — stating the date, approximate time, and purpose, and may enter only during normal business hours (§1954). No notice is required in a genuine emergency. Any lease clause that waives the tenant’s entry-notice rights is void (§1953).
