What guarantee do I have that the new owner will indeed follow the terms of the lease?
**A: well for starters, the CA Civil Code protects your interest. Read your lease and the L/T law.

I have made many improvements to the unit and have given the realtor a list of certain items that are mine and will not stay with the condo - like drapes, chandeliers, hall carpet, refrigerator, etc. How can I be assured that the realtor has disclosed all this to the new buyer and that the new owner acknowledges this?
**A: request a response from the current owner and the Realtor. Keep in mund that although you may have made certain improvements on your own dime, if the improvements are considered fixtures appurtenant and attached to the property, you will be be allowed to remove them upon vacating.
Ie. you may remove the refrigerator but hall carpet if tacked down must remain.

There are several items that are not working right now - how do I know that the realtor has disclosed these things?
