California law does not require a specific license to become a landlord. However, regulations and requirements can vary between different cities and counties. If you choose to use a property management company, which is a service we offer, they must be licensed.
These include the full names and contact information of the landlord and any managing property management agents, the rental property address, the monthly rent amount, and the lease agreements duration. The security deposit maximum, rental terms for payment, and late fees must be clearly outlined.
Californians wont pay more than one months rent for security deposit under new law. The state has implemented Assembly Bill 12, which limits a security deposit to one months rent for all but the smallest of landlords, beginning July 1.
To operate an Airbnb vacation rental in Los Angeles, hosts must obtain a home-sharing permit and renew it annually. If you want to host for longer you will have to apply for extended home-sharing. The citys zoning laws also severely restrict vacation rentals in its residential zones.
California doesnt require landlords to have a business license. However, some cities may require you to have a license before renting out units within city limits. Before signing a lease with your first renter, check with your city to confirm whether you need a business license.

New California laws tackle rental security deposits, hidden fees and date rape drugs. SACRAMENTO Several new California laws have gone into effect as of July 1, 2024, ranging from tenant security deposits being capped to hidden fees being banned and requiring bars to offer date rape drug testing kits.
Limits on Rent Increases Landlords cannot raise rent more than 10% total or 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living whichever is lower over a 12-month period. If the tenants of a unit move out and new tenants move in, the landlord may establish the initial rent to charge. (Civ. Code 1947.12.)
This could be a specific length of time (such as one year) or structured as a month-to-month agreement. In California, if the lease agreement is for more than one year, it must be in writing to be legally enforceable.
