§ 1490 Timely Obligation Performance
This law says that when a duty has a set deadline, the party offering to fulfill it must do so exactly at that time, during normal hours, and cannot offer it earlier or later.
A landlord and tenant agree that the landlord will hand over the keys to the new apartment on June 1st at 10 a.m.
The landlord must give the keys on June 1st during a reasonable time of day, like morning or early afternoon. If the landlord tries to hand over the keys on June 2nd or at 2 a.m., it would not meet the legal requirement.
