They keep it up-to-date, too, so until they come out with a new edition, you can check online for free updates on laws, etc.
Awesome, thank you for this resource!

Hi BP,
Quick question, Ive been told in the past that only realtors can use the California Association of Realtors Residential Lease agreement when renting out rental properties, but I have not been able to verify if that is true anywhere. Besides the name being printed on the bottom is there any reason why a non-realtor would or should not use it?
Thank you!
Alex

Thank you for the perspectives gentlemen! After mulling it over I am leaning towards selling and taking advantage of a more favorable market. Cheers!

Hi everyone! Happy to say I am writing my first post.
I wanted to get other people’s ideas/opinion on the following:
I’ve recently purchased a new home and was able to keep my condo during the purchase (condo was the first property I owned) it’s a 1BR/1BA located in Hayward. Rents are going for about $1700-$2000 a month in the area, and originally I had planned to keep it as a rental. However, after having it listed for about two months now I have yet to find a qualified renter. I would need to rent it for no less than $2000 to cover all of the expenses on it.
From my point of view I feel like I can go in two directions:
1. Continue to look for a qualified renter and keep paying the note on it until I do so.
2. Sell and take the money and put it in to a property either OOS or elsewhere where it’s more viable to cash flow.
Thank in advance to everyone who responds!
