Question

Is there a statue of limitation on a landlord/tennant lawsuit? How long does a landlord have to file on a tennant in Caliornia?

Answer

It depends on the nature of the underlying dispute with the landlord. For example, breach of a written contract is governed by a four (4) year statute of limitations, which runs from the date of the breach. If a personal injury occurred, however, then it is governed by a two (2) year statute of limitations.
