  Compliance Without Chaos: Staying on Top of California’s Complex Regulations

  May 26, 202659 minS6

  California's housing regulations are among the most complex in the nation — and for self-managing property owners, the stakes couldn't be higher. Rent caps, just-cause eviction rules, tenant protections, and habitability standards leave little room for error. Missteps — even unintentional ones — can trigger lawsuits, fines, and serious legal liability. Discussion topics to include: California laws, such as the Tenant Protection Act, are heavily pro-tenant, with strict regulations regarding security deposits, habitability, and eviction procedures. Accidental violations of fair housing laws during tenant selection can result in significant legal consequences. Failure to properly maintain the property (e.g., plumbing, roof, pests) can lead to lawsuits or tenants withholding rent. Often, habitability claims are not covered by insurance! Incorrectly handling evictions can lead to long delays and costly penalties. Never mind the lost rent! Guest Speaker: Eileen Kendall, Founder, Kendall Law Eileen M. Kendall is a California real estate attorney with over 20 years of litigation experience, specializing in real property and business matters. Since founding Kendall Law, she has built a reputation for winning complex cases — from adverse possession to landlord-tenant disputes — and is admitted to practice before all California Federal District Courts and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Property owners and management companies trust Eileen for her strategic approach, deep knowledge of California law, and unwavering commitment to protecting their assets.
