California Landlord Laws

Jake M.
  • Investor
Posted

Hello all! I am a REI. My primary market is Utah. I am now getting into the CA scene to help my parents save some money for their retirement in 15 years. I want to set them up for success as they have had a lot of financial pitfalls.

Who can help me understand the basics of CA landlord laws? I understand it is very tenant-friendly out there. Neither my parents nor myself have any CA landlord experience. Please, any help at all would be much appreciated. If anyone is willing to do a phone call even, I am happy to venmo you some lunch money as a 'thank you.' 

Best!

Jake Martinez-Parry

@Jake M. it varies on what you are doing, generally though there is rent control statewide for multiunit properties and properties owned by corporations of 5% plus inflation per year.  Notices are a little longer than elsewhere as is the eviction process, some cities have more stringent rent control than the statewide law so that is something to be aware of, anything specific you want to know just ask.
