Rent Control Throughout California
Rent control is something that most landlords and tenants have come to expect from cities like San Francisco. It’s been spreading to other communities around California as well, and it’s likely to come to your city or town before too long. Believe it or not, the whole state of California could be subject to rent control.
If you are a property owner in the city of Irvine, you too could be subject to rent control laws in the very near future. It’s important to make sure you’re informed and prepared.
Preparing for California Rent Control
It’s never too early to begin preparing for the potential rent control laws that may include your community. Here are some of the things we recommend you begin thinking about:
- Get your property up to market rent. If you’re not charging what the market will bear already, you’re losing money. It will only be harder to bring that rental value up when rent control restrictions are in place.
- Collect a two-month security deposit. California law allows you to collect the equivalent of two months’ rent as a security deposit. Think about increasing your security deposit requirements to this threshold. It will provide greater protections for you.
- Make sure your contracts are air tight. Your lease agreement must be detailed and legally compliant in the state of California.
- Know the law and continue to keep yourself informed on the topic. Find out everything you can about rent control and the renter’s state. You don’t want to be held liable for something you weren’t even aware of.
