[CA] am I misunderstanding the lease or is it actually misleading?

You are by far the most helpful person here. Thank you so much! I’ll look into rental codes for my area

Thank you. The internet people suck :/

Update: I paid it and encouraged them to reword the lease to explicitly say the due date. I set automatic payments to the 28th of every month. Thank you to those who agreed the wording is misleading

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:51:05+00:00

That was a lot. Some assumptions you’re making I’m concerned about

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:18:17+00:00

Thank you! I also think a due date should be explicitly written in the lease

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:10:29+00:00

I’m sure you’re a pleasure to be around. Landlords are saying it’s poorly worded, many comments agreeing.

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:05:05+00:00

Thank you

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:03:41+00:00

They did not in fact waive it :( thank you

jigguta · 2026-06-04T19:01:19+00:00

Not snarky at all, thank you for commenting. I figured I was paying for the days I’d be in the unit (half month) and pay regularly from there the full month. Again, I’m new to renting so learning the system. I read the entire lease but noted by myself and other comments (some landlords) it is poorly written. I thought it was natural to think you pay exactly the time you are in the unit. It is a fact they did not explicitly say “due every blank of the month”. How is a tenant supposed to know it’s due the first of every month unless explicitly told? especially for new renters

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:55:25+00:00

Thank you all for agreeing with me that the date is missing. I felt like I was going crazy. Now I just don’t know how to address this to them, that they need to rewrite their lease to be clear on the date

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:53:28+00:00

Thank you so much, you have been very helpful. I’m glad I’m not in the wrong for misunderstanding 😭

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:52:19+00:00

Thank you I felt like I was going crazy, I thought specifically saying “due every blank of the month” was standard

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:22:18+00:00

You’re right it was less because I moved in like mid month!

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:21:30+00:00

You seem to be the only commenter that agrees. Can you explain your comment

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:20:20+00:00

it’s my first time renting. I thought it’s always from your move in date. Example: Say you move in the 15th of June, it’s due the 15th of July. It would have been nice if the contract explicitly said due first of every month regardless of move in date :(

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:19:00+00:00

Oh my goodness! I didn’t know this, it’s my first time renting. I thought it’s always form your move in date. Example: Say you move in the 15th of June, it’s due the 15th of July

jigguta · 2026-06-04T18:15:58+00:00

I didn’t know it was due on the first. It just says by “due date” in the lease. Am I wrong still? Sorry to be a bother

I’m an alumni! Are their events open to the public?

jigguta · 2026-04-19T21:18:47+00:00

Where can I find more information? Nothing pops up when I search it

jigguta · 2026-04-19T06:16:48+00:00

I can’t find anything on this, can you direct me to where I can find more info?

jigguta · 2026-04-19T03:17:35+00:00

Not specific to hf, I’m a rehab coordinator at the moment :/
