Live - Doing it Wrong? AB 1482 Guide for Tenants/Landlords

[@hwcanseeyou]

I wish more property managers and landlords watched this. I don't know one PM/LL that knows any of these laws and codes. I tell them and they just stare at me. It's so annoying.

[@mariatorres9789]

You are my go to source, for figuring out these nightmare laws. Tyvm!!

[@WIREassociates]

Much appreciated, Maria!

[@lshepherd6137]

Ive spent a week straight calling attorneys, property mgrs and CAR hotline -the advice and information is all over the place. It’s sad that mom and pops wanting to be a part of the housing shortage solution by renting out a home or rooms only to get caught up in so much trauma behind these confusing tenant favored laws. The idea that a landlord would give rental assistance to tenants is a Calif bag of madness

[@ronica2623]

Thank you so much. Most of what was said was not applicable, but the parts that were applicable were very valuable.

What if there is two separate single family houses on the same lot? Its not a duplex they are separate. They are in a family trust. Are they exempt?

[@WIREassociates]

Can they be sold separately from each other? If not, then it's considered a duplex and not exempt.

I have been renting a condo in Chino for over 6 years and I received a notice at my door about a 25% rent increase. They claim they are exempt from the TPA, but I want to know my rights in disproving that they are exempt. The owner is an LLC, the condo was built over 15 years ago, and the Addendum was sent through the mail after the July 2020 deadline. I signed a new lease in 2021, but did not sign the rent cap addendum.

[@WIREassociates]

Discuss with an attorney ASAP, they potentially lost their exemption (if they had it) with that lease renewal in 2021 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/emq2aquPeLKXfpo

[@elimcg921]

When relocation assistance is required is it the current property rent x1 month OR the future property they will rent amount ?

[@WIREassociates]

It depends on where the property is, what it is and who the tenants are...some areas have different regulations.

I'm paying for my neighbors water and my laundry was connected to my meter I asked them to fix the problems in the house never did i stop paying rent and ask them to fix it and now I got a eviction notice I been her for 6 years they got the property in 2022

[@WIREassociates]

Reach out to Legal Aid in your area ASAP to discuss...you have a good defense in this case.

[@javiersantoryn7992]

Chris, thank you very much for all you teach us!! Look, I've been looking for form AB1482 and I can't find it on the DRE library. Can you please tell me where that form is?

So if you build an ADU garage conversion is that considered new construction?

[@WIREassociates]

Yes, but discuss with a local attorney to see if it changes the status of the existing house.

[@sanrdrac100]

Really appreciate your videos Christian. I'm a tenant of 12yrs in a SFR. I never received an exemption notice from AB1482. In 2022, I received a 10% rent increase, that did not include the exemption notice. Is my understanding correct that my landlord lost the exemption due to the 10% rent increase in 2022?

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks for watching! Long story short, a landlord can issue the exemption language with a Change in Terms of Tenancy form and get their exemption....it's not gone forever, but this must be done to treat the property as exempt.

[@heatherwolf4880]

Question: We live in San Diego county do those rules apply to tenants as well. I am having difficulty finding information for San Diego county. Tenant rights when a landlord is trying to sell our rental.

[@WIREassociates]

The Tenant Protection Act is statewide so you will fall under it, but the property may be exempt from protections...this video explains more 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaPJaGtmeMxlrqs If you're in San Diego City, then you may have additional protections (worth double-checking). You can always try reaching out to local Legal Aid for guidance, as well.

[@mtuhtan1]

I’ve been in a large apartment complex in California since November 2020, considered new construction (less than 15 years old), landlord never included exemption notice in my original lease agreement (or subsequent renewals) and is now trying to increase my rent by 20%. From watching your video, they were required to provide me with an exemption notice correct?

[@WIREassociates]

It's an interesting loophole, but some attorneys say that ew construction actually may NOT need to give the exemption notice. Discuss with a local attorney.

[@marinamazur3931]

Do you have a webinar on the ins/outs of offering a tenant a 12 month lease after they have been living in the unit for 12 months or going MtM.

[@wawan-lbg52]

how if the tenant refuses to sign the renewal agreement because the AB 1482 Exemption included in the agreement?

[@WIREassociates]

Discuss with an attorney, you may be able to evict for this, if you truly are still able to give the AB 1482 exemption paperwork at this point.

[@gilbertgranados203]

My landlord put a 30 day notice on my door and my rent is paid on time all the tome. And I been here a year should he have given me 60 days

[@WIREassociates]

It will depend on where it is and what your lease says.

[@thefluffybottomist2495]

Can you please direct us to where it says in the TPA that if a landlord didn't give notice of the exemption for the lease signed or renewed after 1/1/2020 for the "15 years or newer" situation, then they lost it?

[@WIREassociates]

Same comment I left on your other comment, since it applies here, too: It's worth discussing with an attorney, but there's a certain line of interpretation that says that construction less than 15 years old has the exemption by right and doesn't need to provide the exemption notice, but again, definitely worth discussing with an attorney.

Hi Christian, great and helpful content. Quick question, you mentioned around the 26 minute mark that landlords who missed the August 1st deadline for exemption, have an opportunity to establish exemption, if tenancy was established prior to July 1, and there haven't been any lease extensions or any updates to the agreement, if they use notice "AB 42". I cannot find anything regarding AB 42, is it perhaps a different number? Thank you

[@WIREassociates]

Should be AB 1482 exemption form...

[@DanMerrick-v2s]

We're renting a townhome in Seal Beach. We've been here since Jan 2021. We're to be out by April 30, 2024. The Landlords told us that they're coming back from Texas b/c they miss California, and want to re-occupy this home. What financial compensation are we due? Is it just one month's rent, and if so, is the compensation value for the new home that we're going to rent (which is $400 a mth more)? Besides this townhome, the owners (a married couple) own a 4plex in San Pedro that they rent out, and a condo in Palm Springs that they rent out. You're site is super slick BTW!

[@WIREassociates]

Thanks for watching! If the property is exempt, which is sounds like it is, then technically they don't owe relocation assistance in Seal Beach for a townhome.

[@monicaanguiano9137]

For LA County, Does the AB 1482 Verbiage have to be within the contract or is an addendum in the back the same? I was told it has to be IN the contract but the CAR rental agreement doesn't have in it.

@@WIREassociates yes on RSO... question is... I'm in an owner-occupied duplex city of LA. I would be 1482 exempt. But it doesn't matter correct, because I'm RSO, which overrides 1482.

[@iposttvshows]

@@WIREassociates sorry still watching. The form you show that if someone is 1482 exempt, they need to check the box or they are NOT exempt. Do we check exempt if we are RSO? Because we are one or the other, correct, 1482 or RSO.

[@WIREassociates]

@@iposttvshows Since it's an owner-occupied duplex, you'd be exempt from AB 1482 and should give the form, but subject to RSO.

[@iposttvshows]

@@WIREassociates thank you. When they moved in, Sept 24th, 2022, I was confused and put non-exempt. I didn't realize I was either 1482 or RSO. I don't know if it matters that I did that since I am RSO. They (he) is a problem tenant. He claims to want to break the lease, but I can't imagine anyone renting to him since he's lost his sources of income while living here. But he's also received warnings and if his behavior continues, next will be a 3 day cure or quit. I'm reading a lot and watching videos, including yours, to make sure I understand everything that I never had a reason to know before this guy. Thank you so much!

Our landlord wants us to vacate because he is selling the house.. He has never given us a 30 day vacate. He had his realtor offer us 2000.00 cash for keys but the prices of apartments are outrageous this is for my daughter and I but we are moving in different locations I am a senior and live on a fixed income.

[@WIREassociates]

If you've been there over a year, you are owed a minimum of 60 day notice. Depending on where the home is, you be owed more than $2000 for relocation assistance.

The exemption was mentioned in the lease, is that sufficient ?

Yes, that works, as long as the language is correct.

Question..There is a 4 bedroom apartment in a housing compound in fountain valley California.. the owner of this apartment divides it into TWO apartments each two bedrooms as each has its own entrance He does lease both is this considered a duplex and subject to an 1482 ?? He has been raising rent twice each year at a 10% each time

[@WIREassociates]

Discuss with an attorney, but this is most likely not a legal duplex and not exempt from AB 1482.

[@andreag8666]

Wow, new leases can invalidate AB 1482. Leasing has become so complicated. Now, I see how NY city turned into an area where you MUST have an use a realtor to get a rental.

[@WIREassociates]

Yep! And I see this very often....

[@cupcake45v]

I have a hypothetical question.. if a landlord/owner is occupying one bedroom in a 4 bedroom single family home and they are renting out the other 3 bedrooms on a month to month basis, and all 3 tenants have been renting for less that 1 year, is the landlord subject to ab 1482 or exempt?

[@WIREassociates]

You'll need to discuss that scenario with an attorney...you may be partially exempt from AB 1482, but the attorney will clarify.

[@olympiahawthorne1065]

What if you’ve rented a home for two years, always paid rent on time and have been an unproblematic tenant but are planning to move at lease end because the rent isn’t sustainable and property management posts the house for rent for considerably less than you currently pay is that discrimination?

[@WIREassociates]

On the face of it, it doesn't seem like discrimination, but there could be more facts that make it so...you can discuss with an attorney. What did they say when you asked if you can stay and pay that rent amount?

[@reyeslopez2865]

Do you know if Landlord can evict for sell of property in San Diego County?

[@WIREassociates]

Selling the property is not a valid reason to terminate tenancy in California. If the property is exempt from AB 1482, then you don't need to give a reason to terminate the tenancy. If it's subject to AB 1482, then you should discuss with an attorney on whether you can terminate the tenancy.

[@WIREassociates]

Discuss with an attorney. Depending on where the property is, you may be able to terminate the tenancy with a 60 day notice. I'd recommend delivering the AB 1482 exemption language before terminating the tenancy, but again, it will matter where the property is.

[@kec7116]

Stumbled upon your channel and great content. Will be going through your library. Don't want to be a nitpicky jerk but I don't think you meant supersede when it comes to local ordinances. I think a better way to think of these things is that a local government can provide more protection to residents, just not less protection. For example, years ago the US Supreme Court found that the California constitution provides more first amendment protection than the federal government and that is okay. It just wouldn't be able to provide less protection.

[@WIREassociates]

You're correct, if I mixed that up, I apologize. A local ordinance that's more strict would take priority.

[@aidab7542]

Regarding a duplex in Fair Oaks CA (Sacramento suburb): Has there been any additional clarity in the law (AB 1482) should a tenant want to return to their apartment after the "substantial remodel" was completed and at the new market rental price? Considering that the old lease was terminated and the relocation assistance given.

[@WIREassociates]

No, not unless a local ordinance requires it, which I don't believe Sacramento does.

@@WIREassociates Sorry, I am confused...are you saying that previous tenant could re-rent the apartment at the new lease price or not?

Thanks for the great video. Property is exempt and tenants moved in prior to 7/1/2020 (2019 July actually, after 7/1/2020 became month to month till now). No local tigher rent control law. 1) Can the landlord give notice of exemption (email or usps mail, registered mail?) and increase the rent right away? 2) If landloard agrees to only increase 10% now per tenant's request. Can the landlord increase the rent again after giving exemption notice? THANK YOU

[@WIREassociates]

Yes, based on what you shared, the tenant can be given the exemption notice now and rent can be increased with no limit after this.

[@juliasupanich3229]

I can’t find specific wording in the new law about the timeframe you mention, over 30 days. I see that my just clause notice says “. “That after the tenants have occupied the property for 12 months or more”. Doesn’t the word AFTER specify that it means that AB1482 come into play after the expiration of a one year term? Does AB1482 apply if landlord just wants to let a one year lease expire without renewing? Technically the tenant has been in residence 364 days, which is less than one year. Is the landlord required to extend the lease indefinitely?

[@WIREassociates]

Yes, technically AB 1482 goes into effect after 12 months of occupancy. Yes, a landlord could have leases of less than a year or month-to-month for less than a year and get the tenants out under the year mark and never have AB 1482 go into effect (in many areas of CA). As for a lease ending and being required to be renewed, that DOES apply in some areas, for example in LA City...you'll want to discuss with an attorney.

[@michaelb9599]

Can the exemption language reside as a lease clause or does it specifically need a separate signed addendum?

[@WIREassociates]

It can be in the lease or an addendum to the lease.

[@xyz123-gr4lb]

interesting video, it is hard to find good reliable information on this... quick question. can you regain the exemption if it wasn't included in a lease renewal signed in late 2021? lease renewal has since expired and is now month to month...landlord served the exemption post-expiration of the lease renewal followed shortly by a 60-day notice to terminate, no-fault...does the expiration of lease renewal allow them to revive the exemption?

[@WIREassociates]

The landlord may have lost the exemption and no the expiration of a lease or lease renewal does not allow them to regain. The caveat is that it will depend on what the eviction court judge says if it moves to unlawful detainer action and you bring this up as an affirmative defense. Some judges will say the exemption is gone and some won't. There hasn't been definitive case law to define the answer.

A month-to-month property can have the tenancy terminated whether exempt or subject to AB 1482, there are just different rules to follow. If the lease or rental agreement was signed after July 2020, then they can't give an exemption form now.

Hello Chris, I have few questions regarding AB1482: 1. I have a SFR (1955) and a separated ADU built in 2018. Are they exempt from AB1482? As I know lately in CA that you can sell ADU separately from SFR as long you set up HOA for the properties. Also, my ADU is newer than 15 years old. 2. Are properties exempt from AB1482 having no rent cap i.e. 5% + inflation up to 10%? 3. If properties are exempt from AB1482, then landlord does not have to provide a reason when asking tenants to move out as long they are month to month lease, right? 4. Even I don’t have AB1482 exempt clause on the rental contract, can I make a new contract and have my tenants signed if they agreed? Thanks for your help. Hoa

Hi Christian, in 2021 I signed a lease did not checked the box. Fast forward 2024, she’s raised the rent 3 years, thus last renewal she sent me an email that she needed to add a disclosure that should have been added in 2021. Now 2424, I just signed a new lease with new rent changes of course she raised the rent again another $100 but in the email her realtor was in a rush to get me that form so she wanted to drop it off. I said. No! You deliver it the correct way. So she fed ex it bc she only had one day. I signed it. Even though I knew she and her realtor were wrong. I don’t want problems with the landlord. And to appease her I signed it. Can this realtor add this rental cap form to the original lease which was 2021. The new lease was not a “renewal lease” it is “lease extension” that’s where I’m confused. I live in Riv Co in a condo built in 2006

My rental property is in orange county, and is single family home, it is supposed to have AB 1482 exemption。My uncle's family will immigrate to US soon, I plan to let them stay in my property, I understand that if tenant is non voucher, I can give tenant 60 days notice (tenant is on month-to-month), without paying any assistant fee.

Section 8 renters require a 90 day notice to terminate tenancy. If it's a HUD voucher for your rental unit, then it is not necessarily exempt from AB 1482.

Question for you? Property in question is exempt from AB1482. No change in tenancy terms has been given, no new contract, its a month to month tenancy. A notice of new ownership was given to the tenants. From sole proprietorship to LLC, not a corporation. 1) Do we still need to provide them with a "Notice to Tenants-This Tenancy is Exempt from Statewide Rent Control AB 1482 ? if we plan to provide a 60day notice to terminate tenancy ? (for substantial renovations? *yes, we do plan on pulling permits, etc.*) 2) Because the property is exempt, is the minimum relocation assistance 1 month's rent? or option to waive the last month? Or none at all, (because its exempt)??

[@WIREassociates]

1) Yes, you'll need to notify the tenants of the exemption BEFORE giving the 60 day termination notice. 2) If exempt, then no relocation assistance is required (and you don't need to give a reason for the termination) unless there is a local ordinance in place that requires just cause or relocation assistance.

Hi, exemption from AB 1472 means I can't get relocation assistance when it's just cause no fault ?

[@carolynroberts2924]

Great explanation for 1482. I like to do small updates to my properties every 3-5 years while vacant. Question: For my duplex, if I offer my tenant a 5 year lease, and am not exempt from 1482, would I be obligated to extend the lease in 5 years when the lease expires? Also, SB 567- do the changes only apply to SB 1482 properties? If I'm exempt from SB 1482, am I also exempt from SB 567?

[@WIREassociates]

In some areas, you will be required to renew (like LA City) and since you are subject to AB 1482, you'll need to have one of the no fault reasons to terminate the tenancy in 5 years...a small update to the property would not be sufficient. SB 567 has NOT passed and may not pass or could be revised, so we can't be sure for now how it effects your property.

@@WIREassociates Thank you. I'm probably planning too far in advance, but I heard that SB567 has a clause to remove Costa Hawkins. I know the passage is hypothetical, but I see so many yes votes that I think it may pass. There's so many paragraphs and subparagraphs that I can't figure if the author is suggesting the elimination of Costa Hawkins as part of her bill. Is eliminating Costa Hawkins part of her bill?

[@andreag8666]

@@carolynroberts2924 It looks like the plan is to eliminate any exceptions.

First I want to thank you for the information you are providing for us tenants who have disabilities. I live in a (6) unit HUD apartment building specifically for people with disabilities chronic illness diagnosis disability. HIPPA LAWS AND MANAGEMENT MANAGER revealed to maintenance about tenants medical history. Maintenance has no reason to have this information. Example if there was blood all over the apartment let’s say for a attack and blood is all over the apartment. That would be the job for example crime scene cleaners and cleaning company with BIOHAZARD CERTIFIED CLEANERS. Security gates. Call box installed over 3 years worked Maybe 3 days emergency personnel such as firefighters keys are supposed be in a mini lockbox suppose a tents dies or severely injured apartment building security door Entry door not adequate can easily be jimmied open I door have the video have video my security gate on my door metal is rusted and inadequate and broken any criminal can pull on it and snatch it open management hasn’t fixed my sink in almost 3 months received 48hr notice shut off water bill tenant doesn’t pay water . Can you steer us in the right direction thank you sir for reading hopefully we can learn what we can do

It'll depend on where the property is, which city?

What to expect? A mother in assisted living. Has her daughter living in the family home with co owned bank accounts. Is the only beneficiary. A POA for the mother who passed served unlawful detainer two mo. Before moms death. Now says mom changed her will. And has the estate assets claiming to be the successor in interest.

[@WIREassociates]

Wow, that's a tough one. You'll need to get an attorney involved ASAP to establish who the rightful owner is and it sounds like it'll need t go through the probate process.

​@@WIREassociateswe are face with a petition to disperse the estate. We have no accounting. No access to 4 bank accounts. An annuity was paying 3152.00 a month. Air Force Dad and Mother raised there Daughter on bace. They retired in 1968. And both went to assisted living in 2010. The Daughter was asked to be trustee executor. She serves with respect for 12 years. Goes in the hospital. Mom gets a new friend who slanders the family. Now assumes the eviction as successor in interest.

What tenant spends their time keeping up with all the crazy rental laws?…. Only the most difficult ones. 😂

[@michaelb9599]

Free Tenant Lawyers keep track for them.

[@hwcanseeyou]

Tenants are becoming more educated than property managers and landlords from my experience. Probably because the law favors them so much. But landlords and property managers need to get on it!
