Existing law prohibits the vendor or lessor of a single-family residential property from contracting for or exacting any fee in excess of $10 for the act of signing and delivering a document in connection with the transfer, cancellation, or reconveyance of any title or instrument at the time the buyer or lessee exercises an option to buy, or completes performance of the contract for the sale of, the property.
This bill would modify that prohibition by extending it to the vendor or lessor of any residential property.
