Legal Compliance and Evictions
California landlord-tenant law is complex. As a licensed broker, we keep you compliant, handle notices properly, and manage the eviction process if it ever comes to that.
Know the Law
California landlord law, simplified.
California has some of the most tenant-protective laws in the country. Here is what every property owner needs to know.
Rent Control and Rent Caps
California caps annual rent increases at 5% plus local CPI (max 10%) for most properties built before 2005. Single-family homes and condos may be exempt but only if proper written notice is provided to tenants.
Just Cause Eviction
Once a tenant has lived in your property for 12 months, you generally cannot evict without just cause. No-fault evictions require relocation assistance equal to one month rent. Proper notice and documentation are critical.
Security Deposit Limits
As of July 2024, California limits security deposits to one month rent for most residential properties regardless of whether the unit is furnished. This is a major change that affects how you protect your investment upfront.
Fair Housing and Tenant Screening
California prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, familial status, source of income, and more. Tenant screening must be consistent, documented, and based on objective criteria.
