The California Landlord: One Notice Away from the Trap
About this book
The California Landlord: One Notice Away from the Trap is a compliance guide for California landlords by attorney Ngozi E. Bolin. It explains how federal, state and local rules layer together, how AB 1482 rent caps and exemptions work and how they are lost, how to structure valid notices, and why the choice between at-fault and no-fault eviction can decide a case.
What to Do to Stay Compliant and Protected
California is one of the most complex environments in the country for landlords. A single overlooked detail, such as missing disclosure language, incorrect notice timing or a local ordinance, can lead to an invalid eviction, permanent rent control restrictions, refunds, penalties and legal fees, or the loss of an exemption the owner did not know they had.
Unlike generic landlord guides, this book focuses on where landlords actually fail, and on the precision that keeps them out of trouble.
