I am in California. I'd only like serious answers from people that know what they're talking about, please. My boyfriend and I currently rent a townhouse. We are on a month to month lease, so we can move anytime we want, with 30 days notice. Our landlords have been the definition of "slum lords". We have had a major bug problem for months now (6) and they have came once to deal with it (by spraying for pests themselves). We have ear wigs, potatoe bugs, and black widows. They will go weeks without returning any kind of call we make to them to fix things. They have never fixed our ice maker that we let them know about 2 months ago. When we first moved here, they told us they would paint, and they haven't. They said they'd install rain gutters, and they haven't, so that results in water coming through the back door.Is there anyway we can give them just two weeks notice and still get our full deposit back?Since they've been such horrible landlords, is there any kind of loop hole?

And the water coming through the back door is a problem, it's caused mold! Our neighbor (we have attached housing since it's a townhouse) had the mold problem when she was pregnant, and the landlord told her the mold wouldn't hurt her. So, we have mold on the door now do to this problem. Not to mention the carpet being soaked and slugs coming in when it happens.
