Disclaimer Will Fill Interesting Questions
The average rent of a property in California varies depending on the location and size of the property. As a rough estimate, it can range anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 per month.
Certainly! It never hurts to negotiate the rent with the landlord. You can try your luck and see if they are open to lowering the rent or offering any discounts. Remember, 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take!'
Utilities such as water and trash collection are often included in the rent. However, electricity, gas, and internet services are generally not included and are the tenant's responsibility.
While not legally required, it is highly recommended to have renter's insurance in California. It provides coverage for your personal belongings and liability protection in case of unexpected events such as fire, theft, or accidents. 'Better safe than sorry!'
Definitely! Many landlords in California allow pets in their rental properties, but it's always good to confirm with them beforehand. Some may have certain restrictions or require an additional pet deposit. 'Don't let the cat out of the bag without asking!'
A security deposit is a refundable amount that tenants provide to landlords before moving in. It serves as a protection for the landlord in case of any damages or unpaid rent. In California, the landlord can generally charge up to two months' rent as a security deposit.

Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §277.
The disclaimer shall be in writing, shall be signed by the disclaimant, and shall:

(b) In the case of any of the following interests, a disclaimer is conclusively presumed to have been filed within a reasonable time if it is filed within nine months after the death of the creator of the interest or within nine months after the interest becomes indefeasibly vested, whichever occurs later:

(2) An interest created by intestate succession.

(3) The time the interest becomes indefeasibly vested. (d) In case of an interest not described in subdivision (b) or (c), a disclaimer is conclusively presumed to have been filed within a reasonable time if it is filed within nine months after whichever of the following times occurs later:
(1) The time the first knowledge of the interest is acquired by the person able to disclaim.
(2) The time the interest becomes indefeasibly vested. (e) In the case of a future estate, a disclaimer is conclusively presumed to have been filed within a reasonable time if it is filed within whichever of the following times occurs later:
(1) Nine months after the time the interest becomes an estate in possession.
(2) The time specified in subdivision (b), (c), or (d), whichever is applicable.

Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §279.
(a) A disclaimer shall be filed with any of the following:

(2) The trustee, personal representative, other fiduciary, or person responsible for distributing the interest to the beneficiary.
(3) Any other person having custody or possession of or legal title to the interest.
(4) The creator of the interest.
(b) If a disclaimer made pursuant to this part affects real property or an obligation secured by real property and the disclaimer is acknowledged and proved in like manner as a grant of real property, the disclaimer may be recorded in like manner and with like effect as a grant of real property, and all statutory provisions relating to the recordation or nonrecordation of conveyances of real property and to the effect thereof apply to the disclaimer with like effect, without regard to the date when the disclaimer was filed pursuant to subdivision (a). Failure to file a disclaimer pursuant to subdivision (a) which is recorded pursuant to this subdivision does not affect the validity of any transaction with respect to the real property or the obligation secured thereby, and the general laws on recording and its effect govern any such transaction. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §280.
A disclaimer, when effective, is irrevocable
and binding upon the beneficiary and all persons claiming by, through,
or under the beneficiary, including creditors of the beneficiary.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §281.
(a) Unless the creator of the interest provides for a specific disposition of the interest in the event of a disclaimer, the interest disclaimed shall descend, go, be distributed, or continue to be held (1) as to a present interest, as if the disclaimant had predeceased the creator of the interest or (2) as to a future interest, as if the disclaimant had died before the event determining that the taker of the interest had become finally ascertained and the taker's interest indefeasibly vested. A disclaimer relates back for all purposes to the date of the death of the creator of the disclaimed interest or the determinative event, as the case may be.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), where the disclaimer is filed on or after January 1, 1985:
(1) The beneficiary is not treated as having predeceased the decedent for the purpose of determining the generation at which the division of the estate is to be made under Part 6 (commencing with Section 240) or other provision of a will, trust, or other instrument.
(2) The beneficiary of a disclaimed interest is not treated as having predeceased the decedent for the purpose of applying subdivision (d) of Section 6409 or subdivision (b) of Section 6410. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §282.
A disclaimer is not a fraudulent transfer by the beneficiary under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 3439) of Title 2 of Part 2 of Division 4 of the Civil Code. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §283.
A person who could file a disclaimer under this
part may instead file a written waiver of the right to disclaim.
The waiver shall specify the interest to which the waiver applies.
Upon being filed as provided in Section 280, the waiver is irrevocable
and is binding upon the beneficiary and all persons claiming by, through,
or under the beneficiary.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §284.
(a) A disclaimer may not be made after the beneficiary has accepted the interest sought to be disclaimed.
(b) For the purpose of this section, a beneficiary has accepted an interest if any of the following occurs before a disclaimer is filed with respect to that interest:
(1) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, makes a voluntary assignment, conveyance, encumbrance, pledge, or transfer of the interest or part thereof, or contracts to do so; provided, however, that a beneficiary will not have accepted an interest if the beneficiary makes a gratuitous conveyance or transfer of the beneficiary's entire interest in property to the person or persons who would have received the property had the beneficiary made an otherwise qualified disclaimer pursuant to this part.
(2) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, executes a written waiver under Section 284 of the right to disclaim the interest.
(3) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, accepts the interest or part thereof or benefit thereunder.
(4) The interest or part thereof is sold at a judicial sale.
(c) An acceptance does not preclude a beneficiary from thereafter disclaiming all or part of an interest if both of the following requirements are met:
(1) The beneficiary became entitled to the interest because another person disclaimed an interest.
(2) The beneficiary or other person acting on behalf of the beneficiary at the time of the acceptance had no knowledge of the interest to which the beneficiary so became entitled.
(d) The acceptance by a joint tenant of the joint tenancy interest created when the joint tenancy is created is not an acceptance by the joint tenant of the interest created when the joint tenant survives the death of another joint tenant. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §285.
The right to disclaim exists regardless of any limitation imposed on the interest of a beneficiary in the nature of an expressed or implied spendthrift provision or similar restriction. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §286.
An interest created before January 1, 1984, that
has not been accepted may be disclaimed after December 31, 1983, in the
manner provided in this part, but no interest that arose before January
1, 1984, in a person other than the beneficiary may be destroyed or diminished
by any action of the disclaimant taken pursuant to this part.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §287.
This part does not limit or abridge any right a person may have under any other law to assign, convey, or release any property or interest, but after December 31, 1983, an interest that would otherwise be taken by a beneficiary may be declined, refused, renounced, or disclaimed only as provided in this part. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, §288.
