How does a California Prepaid Rental Listing Service Bond work?

This bond is a legal promise made by the Principal (prepaid rental listing service) and the Surety (surety bond company) to refund the monies required by law to the prospective tenant (Obligee). The Principal is responsible for fulfilling that promise. The Surety will serve as a guarantor of the Principal in case the Principal defaults on the obligation.

If a default occurs and a claim is made against the bond, the Surety will ensure that the Obligee is paid. The Principal must then reimburse the Surety for the payments made.
