§ 10513 Lessor'S Right To Cure

If a landlord or supplier sends something that doesn't meet the agreement and there's still time left, they can tell the other party they will fix it and deliver the correct thing on time.

Key Takeaways

  • •The party who sent the wrong item can fix it if there's still time.
  • •They must let the other side know they are fixing it.
  • •Even if the other side thought the item was okay, they still get a chance to replace it.

Example

A landlord installs a bathtub with a leaky faucet before the lease ends, and the tenant says it's not okay.

The landlord can let the tenant know they will replace the faucet within the lease period instead of starting over.

§ 10513 Lessor'S Right To Cure

(a) If any tender or delivery by the lessor or the supplier is rejected because it is nonconforming and the time for performance has not yet expired, the lessor or the supplier may seasonably notify the lessee of the lessor’s or the supplier’s intention to cure and may then make a conforming delivery within the time provided in the lease contract. (b) If the lessee rejects a nonconforming tender that the lessor or the supplier had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance, the lessor or the supplier may have a further reasonable time to substitute a conforming tender if he or she seasonably notifies the lessee. (Amended by Stats. 1991, Ch. 111, Sec. 51. Effective July 15, 1991.)
