Rental Unit Disclosures
Rental Unit Sample Lease Disclosure Letter / En Espanol
Landlords are required to provide a written document to tenants that explain city regulations about occupancy limits and parking regulations. Landlords are encouraged to make the required disclosures at the time that lease agreements are executed in order to promote discussion of these city regulations.
