Landlords must understand all the protections afforded to their tenants under state and federal law. State laws give landlords the right to collect rent, collect a security deposit, withhold a security deposit in certain instances, and evict residential tenants under certain circumstances. The laws can be complex though, especially with the passing of newer laws pertaining to tenant rights.

Landlord/tenant attorney guidance was important even before the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019, also known as AB 1482.

It took effect on January 1, 2020, and the law imposes requirements on certain evictions and imparts rent caps on certain housing.

It is one of the state’s most well-known statutes for limiting the control of municipalities over their rental markets. We can help you understand what the law means for you and your property.
