The Nolo Press landlord’s guide is worth every penny, and there’s an edition specifically for California. It describes in detail everything you need to know about how to properly and legally screen prospective tenants and it also includes rental agreements, applications, and a bunch of other useful forms. It’s 32 bucks wisely spent: http://www.amazon.com/California-Landlords-Lawbook-Rights-Responsibilities/dp/1413320864/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436511142&sr=8-1&keywords=nolo+california+landlord

Spdrun, there is no reason to put the utilities in your name. Make the tenant put the utilities in their name. Why on earth would you want to do that accounting every month?
