Explanation:

California law requires that real estate lease contracts include information about the length of the contract, the rent and due date, must include the names of the parties involved (specifying who is the tenant and who is the landlord), a full description of the property including its address, and clear evidence that both the tenant and the landlord wish to create a business relationship.
