California laws that will cost you if you miss them
AB 1482 · Statewide
Rent Cap — Wrong Amount
Annual increase capped at 5% + local CPI (max 10%). Bay Area CPI changes every year. Overcharge by even $1 and courts may find willfulness — no "I didn't know" defense.
Treble damages + attorney fees
AB 2801 · 2024
Move-Out Photos — Wrong Order
Photos must be taken before any cleaning or repairs after move-out. Take them in the wrong order and you forfeit all deposit deductions — even legitimate ones.
Lose entire security deposit rights
AB 12 · July 2024
Security Deposit Cap
Capped at one month's rent. Legacy leases with higher deposits must be updated at next renewal. Old clause in a current lease = unenforceable and potentially actionable.
Non-compliant leases are voidable
Nonpayment · Every month
Tenant Not Paying — Wrong Notice
3-day Notice to Pay or Quit requires exact statutory language. One wrong phrase and your eviction case gets dismissed. AB 2347 (2025) extended tenant response to 10 days — old notice templates are now incorrect.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on when your property was built and its type. AB 1482 generally covers multi-unit buildings built before 2009, and single-family homes or condos not owned by corporations. The rent cap calculator asks a few questions and tells you automatically. When in doubt, assume you're covered — the cost of being wrong is treble damages.
Almost certainly yes. AB 12 (July 2024) capped security deposits at one month's rent — any lease with a higher deposit clause is now non-compliant and should be updated at next renewal. AB 2801 also requires specific move-out photo documentation language. The CA lease generator creates a current 2026-compliant version for new tenants or renewals.
First: do not text casually or accept partial payment without written documentation. Use the AI notice generator to produce a legally correct 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit immediately. This notice starts the eviction clock — but only if it uses exact statutory language. If the tenant doesn't pay within 3 calendar days, you can file an unlawful detainer. The AI Q&A walks you through each step.
No — it's general guidance based on California landlord-tenant law, not legal advice. For most common situations (rent increases, deposit returns, standard lease violations) the guidance is accurate and immediately actionable. For complex situations — contested evictions, discrimination claims, habitability disputes — the system flags when you should consult a licensed CA real estate attorney.
All of California for state laws (AB 1482, AB 2801, AB 12). City-specific rules are tracked for San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Fremont, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, and all unincorporated county areas. The calculator automatically applies the right rules for your specific city.
Yes. Month-to-month, no contracts, cancel with one click. Your data (leases, photos, compliance history) is exportable at any time and is retained for 90 days after cancellation.
Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We do not sell or share your data with any third parties. Lease documents and tenant information are only accessible by you. AI Q&A queries never include personally identifiable information such as addresses or tenant names.
