Congratulations, Thankfulness, and Gratitude

First and foremost, congratulations are in order to Denise Arredondo (JLE Property Management) on her election by our membership to serve as AAOC president for 2026. I have worked closely with Denise for many years as a fellow director and industry colleague. Her invaluable experience, insight, authenticity and strong work ethic will guide her to success as the leader of our association. I would also like to congratulate

BONA FIDE MORTGAGE

and acknowledge the contributions and commitment of our duly elected 2026 Executive Committee members: First Vice President Amy Fylling (Advanced Management Company), Second Vice President Stefanie Koslosky (Alliance Environmental), Treasurer Laurel Dial (Consensys Property Management), and Secretary Julia Arazia (Pacifica Company).

Secondly, I am thankful for the opportunity to have met recently with Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, at the California Rental Housing Association (CalRHA) Annual Meeting. Mr. Coupal is the leader of organization that originally fought for passage of the landmark 1978 property owner tax protection initiative Proposition 13. HJTA continues to this day to fight for the preservation of “Prop 13” as well as the advancement of other tax protection and accountability measures in California.

HJTA’s current ballot initiative effort, 25-006A1, aims to close a loophole that circumvents the 2/3 vote required to

increase taxes. For more information about the initiative and to support Mr. Coupal and HJTA in this effort, please visit www.hjta.org/saveprop13/ to sign the petition to ensure this initiative gets on the ballot.

Finally, with much gratitude, I submit to you, our valued members, my final President’s Message. It has been my distinct honor and privilege to serve as you in this capacity for a second tour of duty. I have enjoyed thoroughly my conversations with many of you and the countless insights I have gained along the way, especially at our General Membership Meetings, annual Rental Housing Show, and other association functions.

Thank you for supporting me as your president and as your colleague in our outstanding and impactful AAOC.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

John Tomlinson

New Laws for 2026: What Rental Housing Providers Should Know

This article features key legislative bills that have been signed into law by Governor Newsom that pertain to residential rental ownership, management and tenancy. Some of these laws will have an immediate effect on your business operations and practices, while others may not be directly applicable. Nevertheless, you should familiarize yourself with all them as they do have relevancy to our rental housing industry.

So, let’s take a look at some of the new laws that will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Habitability Law: Refrigerators and Stove Mandate

AB 628 (McKinnor)

AB 628 by Assembly Member Tina McKinnor requires that every residential rental unit, for leases entered into, amended, or extended, on or after January 1, 2026, have a working stove and refrigerator, with certain exceptions, to be deemed habitable. Additionally, it requires an owner to repair or replace a stove or refrigerator within 30 days written notice by the tenant or after being notified of a recall by a manufacturer.

Tenants may elect and inform the owner that they will provide and maintain their own refrigerator as provided in the new law. It is important to note that tenants are now armed with the possibility of raising new a habitability defense. The law could be problematic for owners if replacement parts and

technicians are not available within 30 days following notice by the tenant of an inoperable stove or refrigerator.

NOTE: AAOC has updated its move-in/move-out form and created a new standard form notifying the tenant about the change in the state law. The forms will be available in December.

Residential Residencies: Return of Security Deposits

AB 414 (Pellerin)

AB 414 by Assemblymember Gail Pellerin addresses the updating of payment methods in rental housing. The author contends that California’s Civil Code is not up to date with the changing methods of payments for security deposits. This new law amends the California Civil Code to change the default return for security being deposited electronically, by personal delivery or by check. The only way the property owner would be eligible to return a security deposit electronically would be if the property owner received the security deposit or the rental payments from a tenant electronically. It also amends the California Civil Code to authorize a property owner to provide an itemized statement by email or mail to an address provided by a tenant. This statement would only be authorized by mutual agreement by the property owner and tenant.

This law is important for property owners to be aware of because they may have to change their default method for returning security deposits. If they

already do it by delivery of check it will be okay unless the tenant provided the deposit by electronic payment. If the default method is electronic, the property owner will have to change it unless the tenant pays it electronically.

Service of Process Accountability, Reform and Equity (SPARE) Act

AB 747 (Kalra)

AB 747 by Assemblymember Ash Kalra addresses an issue where 90% of consumers do not appear in court to defend themselves in debt collection lawsuits every year in California. According to the author, this is due to fraudulent or improper service of process. This new law fixes the process by strengthening procedural protections for defendants by increasing accountability for process servers, clarifying the standard for substituted service, requiring photographic documentation of service, and enhancing access to post-judgment relief when service was unlawful. Owners/agents may wish to include in a tenant’s file copies of photographs the location of the substituted service.

Social Security Tenant Protection

AB 246 (Bryan)

AB 246 by Assemblymember Issac Bryan addresses operational issues that hurt social security beneficiaries. According to the author, with this issue, eligible recipients could experience financial hardship.

• Bi-lingual staff

Tenant screening

Rent collection

Orange County Property Management is a family owned professional management company with over 30 years of trusted services and experience, that has been known as a recognized leader in real estate management industry in providing the highest quality management service at affordable rates. Our staff is composed of skilled managers who are trained to think as owners and use their entrepreneurial expertise to find effective solutions to all property-related issues so that the goals and needs of our clients and tenants are met.

• Online landlord and tenant portals

• Tenant screening

• Landlord/tenant interaction

• Maintenance supervision

• Inspections as necessary or by request

• Legal updates—local and state laws

• Bi-lingual staff

• Evictions and collections

• Prepare and file year end 1099’s

• 24/7 emergency response

• Advertising—extensive local and web presence

• Showings—7 days a week by appointment

• Rental agreement execution and enforcement

• Rent and security deposit collection

• Lease renewal negotiations

• Maintenance and “rent ready” repairs

• Financial record-keeping and bill paying

• Serving legal notices and legal proceedings

• Move-in and move-out reports

• Monthly financial accounting owner statements

In practice, this law would permit all residential tenants that receive social security benefits, regardless of circumstance, to assert as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer action for the nonpayment of rent due to any interruption in the payment of social security benefits without question. The law could delay, if not stop, residential rental payments. The law punishes property owners for technological and administrative issues caused by the SSA or for the inaccurate information that the beneficiary provided to the SSA. This law is important for property owners to be aware of as it gives tenants a new and additional affirmative defense to unlawful detainer proceedings. If a tenant can show difficulties with the SSA, then they can prevent an unlawful detainer and thus retain the right to stay at the property.

Residential Real Property: Lease Requirements

AB 863 (Kalra)

AB 863 by Assemblymember Ash Kalra addresses the vast diversity of the state, how judicial summons function, and how to read a summons for an action for an unlawful detainer. It is argued that current law poses challenges for those that are not fluent in English.

This new law requires that the Judicial Council create a single summons form for mandatory use, in action, for an unlawful detainer. This form must be in English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean. Furthermore, Judicial Council is also required to publish this form on their website.

It is important for property owners to be aware of this new law because, if they are involved in an unlawful detainer action, they have the option of reading the summons in any of these languages, and the tenants also have that same option. It is also important to note that the property owner does not have to provide the translation of the summons because the state Judicial

Council is required to create the form for everyone concerned on or before January 1, 2027.

Landlord Tenant: Internet Service Provider Subscriptions

AB 1414 (Ransom)

AB 1414 by Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom addresses how internet service providers (ISPs), property owners, and tenants interact. The law mandates that a property owner must allow a tenant to opt out of paying for any subscription from a third-party internet service provider. This can affect how rental property owners pay for their internet as they normally have bulk agreements with ISPs, and tenants pay into the bulk agreement. It may be argued that implementation of this measure will be particularly problematic because of a requirement of the internet service provider to have all tenants, not just a few of the tenants, subscribe to the internet service. It is argued that internet service providers invest heavily in apartment communities which translates to significant upfront and continuing investment in that community.

According to the author, internet service providers bundle their packages with property owners. Property owners then provide tenants with working internet at a fixed cost that all tenants contribute to as a part of their lease. The author argues that this impacts tenants’ rights to seek out alternate internet service providers, and it makes it extremely burdensome for tenants to seek out competitive rental prices. This argument is predicated on the idea that tenants who agree to these lease agreements must, in part, pay for internet service bundles even if they use alternative internet service providers.

In addition to the author, the Consumer Federation of California supported AB 1414. The main opposition included a coalition of apartment and rental property owner associations. The main reason that these groups opposed the bill is due to the effective-

ness of bulk billing arrangements. A lot of tenants in the rental market need inexpensive and effective internet and do not have the means to acquire them on their own. AB 1414 lets tenants who have the means to acquire their own internet service to do so, but in turn, they do not contribute to the bulk discounts. This harms those tenants who rely on the bulking prices by increasing costs to them because some tenants do not contribute to the bulking price.

Dwelling Units:

Maximum Indoor Temperature

SB 655 (Stern)

SB 655 by Senator Henry Stern addresses climate change and extreme heat. According to the author, these issues are becoming the most alarming and deadly in the state. The author noted how some might view the heat as uncomfortable, but they pose serious health risks. The goal of SB 655 is to ensure a safe temperature that ensures Californians are not at risk of succumbing to these extreme temperatures.

The new law declares it is established policy of the state that all dwelling units must be able to achieve and maintain a safe maximum indoor temperature. Additionally, it requires certain state agencies to consider the maximum safe indoor temperature when revising, adopting, or establishing policies, programs, and criteria, including grant criteria and when revising, adopting, or establishing regulations.

This law is important for property owners to know as they may eventually be required to retrofit their properties to achieve these safe indoor temperatures, even though there is not currently a consensus on what a safe maximum indoor temperature is, and a standard still needs to be established.

Short Term Rentals

AB 299 (Gabriel)

AB 299 (Gabriel) was introduced in response to the needs of owners who

Sacramento — continued on page 10

supplied short-term rentals, motels, and hotels during the Southern California Wildfires. This law prevents a landlordtenant relationship from forming for those who need temporary housing for longer than 30-days due to disaster. Prior to this law, some property owners had concerns about lodging those who were displaced from their homes by the wildfires because staying longer than 30 days would establish a landlordtenant relationship and thus giving the tenant, among other things, unlawful detainer protections. This law ensures that this sort of relationship would not transpire after a resident stays longer than 30 days.

This law is important for property owners in California to be aware of if they want to house or offer to house those displaced by a disaster. Landlordtenant relationship is not formed, thus legal remedies remarkably are changed due to the narrow carve out of law.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AB 853 (Wicks)

AB 853 by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks addresses an issue of doctoring images. According to the author, generative AI tools make it easy to create, edit, and doctor images, video, and audio. This gives leeway for bad actors to spread disinformation, and to create a lack of trust in the content consumers and users of technology see online.

The bill requires manufacturers of capture devices such as cameras, smartphones with cameras, scanners, audio recorders and other devices that are capable of storing and transferring digital media to provide users, including rental property owners and agents, with the ability to embed provenance data in the content they capture. This new requirement is supposed to be an effective means of content authentication. Unlike GenAI tools which produce limitless amounts of content and are increasingly accessible due to opensource code, capture devices are pro-

duced by a limited number of manufacturers. It is argued that unlike Gen AI systems, captured content can be reliably authenticated.

This law is important to property owners if they use artificial intelligence to create content on their websites or anywhere that consumers have access. It is important because consumers will know what is authentically created versus what is created by Artificial Intelligence.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

AB 1154 (Carrillo)

AB 1154 by Assemblymember Juan Carrillo limits owner-occupancy requirements for junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). All rentals of JADUs must be for a term longer than 30 days, thus short-term rentals would be prohibited.

This new law limits owner-occupancy requirements for junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). Currently, the law requires that an ordinance provides for creation of a junior accessory dwelling to mandate owner-occupancy in the single-family residence where the JADU is permitted. AB 1154 states that the owner-occupancy requirement would not apply unless the JADU has shared a sanitation facility with the existing structure.

This law is important to property owners because, according to supporters, it accelerates housing production, reduces construction costs, and eliminates outdated restrictions that prevent affordable housing growth.

SB 9 (Arreguin)

SB 9 by Senator Jesse Arreguin addresses accessory dwelling units and owner occupancy requirements. According to the author, owner-occupancy requirements create a barrier to ADU development and restrict the amount of rental property that can be available. The author also argues that owner occupancy requirements have already been lifted from homeowners who constructed their ADU post 2020;

and, through that lift, California has had a massive market increase in that type of affordable development.

This new law mandates that a local agency must submit a copy of an ADU ordinance to the Department of Housing and Community Development and must respond to HCD’s findings withing specified timeframes. If the local agency does not comply with these mandates, the ordinance mandating the ADU law will be considered null and void.

This law is important to property owners as it creates a clear accountability mechanism with the enforcement of these laws. Property owners can now ensure that if a state agency does not receive a copy in the specified timeframes, then the ordinance will be considered null and void.

Wildfire Insurance Coverage and California FAIR Plan

AB 1 (Connolly)

AB 1 by Assemblyman Damon Connolly was introduced in response to the wildfire crisis in California. The author, and thousands of Californians, rightfully argue that the state can be doing more to ensure homes are better equipped to manage wildfires. This new law requires the California Department of Insurance, on or before January 1, 2030, and every 5 years thereafter, to consider whether or not to update its regulations to include additional building hardening measures for property-level mitigation efforts and communitywide wildfire mitigation programs. As part of this consideration, it would require the department to consult with specified agencies to identify additional building hardening measures to consider, as well as to develop and implement a public participation process during the evaluation.

This new law is important for those who are in the rental housing industry as they must be aware of the 5-year cycle of updated building hardening regulations. It could impact the industry through new mandatory building

and real property upgrades through new requirements.

AB 226 (Calderon)

AB 226 by Assemblymember Lisa Calderon addresses an issue with the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan. The FAIR Plan is an association of all the insurance companies licensed by the California Department of Insurance that provides basic property and casualty insurance in California. Currently the FAIR Plan does not have a statute allowing them to use financial tools that assist in the capacity of mitigating disasters.

This new law authorizes the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank to issue bonds to increase liquidity, finance the cost of claims, and assist the claims paying capacity of the California Fair Plan Association. It authorizes the bank to loan the proceeds of issued bonds to the Association and authorizes the Association to enter into a loan agreement with the bank.

AB 226 is important because it aids in lessening the financial burden wildfires have on the state. It does this by creating a funding buffer for the FAIR plan. It gives them access to bonds, loans, and lines of credit that specifically assist wildfire aid. It also gives the California Fair Plan Association the tools necessary to fulfill and expand the FAIR plan mission.

AB 1138 (Bennett)

AB 1138 by Assemblymember Steve Bennett addresses the wildfire crisis in California with an evidence-based approach. Wildfires have been an increasingly significant issue in the state and lawmakers have sought to take action to protect their constituents.

This new law requires that on or before January 1, 2027, the State Fire Marshal’s Wildfire Mitigation Advisory Committee develop a home hardening certification program. This program could assist in preventing more wildfires in California as the program will identify home hardening measures,

which include defensible space that can be implemented during renovation or home improvement projects. It aims to substantially reduce the risk of loss during a fire.

This law is important to property because it can identify home improvement measures and function as a guiding tool to ensure safety from wildfires. According to the supporters of AB 1138, “By establishing a comprehensive framework, this legislation will provide homeowners with clear guidance on how to effectively protect their properties from wildfire.”

SB 429 (Cortese)

SB 429 by Assemblymember Dave Cortese also works on addressing current safety measures aimed at assisting in wildfire prevention. This new law establishes the Wildfire Safety and Risk Program that develops, demonstrates, and deploys a public wildfire catastrophe model. It also establishes grant

Sacramento — continued on page 12

MULTIFAMILY WINDOW & GARAGE DOOR SPECIALISTS

Recent Installs Ranging from 4 to 220 Units

funding to one or more universities for eligible projects that require the university to research and develop wildfire catastrophe models that provide wildfire safety benefits to California communities and assists alignment between local, state, and federal wildfire safety efforts. Additionally, it creates the Wildfire Safety and Risk Mitigation account within the Insurance Fund that assists in accomplishing this mission. Lastly, it requires that the Department

of Insurance create a framework and plan that creates a catastrophe model that will be published on their website. This new law is valuable to property owners as they need more assistance in wildfire resistance and protection. It will lead to the creation of models and new information that is necessary to keep their properties and homes as safe as possible. It will create catastrophe models that will help prepare home and property owners to understand the dangers associated with wildfire. This information will also be easy to access

as it will be made available on the Department of Insurance website.

Summary Proceedings for Obtaining Possession of Real Property

AB 1384 (Nguyen)

AB 1384 by Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen addresses courts’ authority to postpone unlawful detainer proceedings in California. The author argues that flexibility is appropriate and necessary in residential tenancy cases to protect tenants, but it ends up hurting owners of commercial properties. The author’s goal was to be able to assist these commercial property owners while allowing judges to have more discretion in residential cases.

This new law expands on existing law that ensures that for an action of unlawful detainer, courts can delay a hearing to a later date for good cause. It will limit the court’s authority to set dates of later hearings to cases with good cause and only involving residential tenancy. AB 1384 follows AB 2347 (Kalra, 2023) which modified hearing timelines in unlawful detainer proceedings but did not distinguish between residential and commercial cases for unlawful detainers. This led to issues where delayed proceedings, stalled lease negotiations, and operational uncertainty plagued commercial property owners. This new law makes that distinction so that commercial property owners no longer have to worry about delayed proceedings.

8 Nights of Thankfulness

The holiday season is always a good time to reflect on the moments of the past year and take stock of all for which we have to be thankful. Typically, we experience a lot of struggles when it comes to how government treats our industry, but we sometimes experience small miracles. So, whether you are lighting a candle, singing a carol, or demonstrating feats of strength, here are eight big accomplishments for our industry that we can celebrate.

#8—HUD Stopped Enforcing CARES Act 30-Day Notices

Many Federal issues related to rental housing are more impactful in other states - but the requirement by HUD that property owners provide a 30-day notice in evictions was regularly held up in California as an additional 30 days when trying to collect past due rent. Having that practice stopped is a great benefit to California property

owners dealing with misinterpretations by activist judges.

#7—Costa Mesa Rent Registry Efforts Turned Back

City administrators attempted in late-summer/early-fall to bring forward a rent registry proposal as part of an eviction deterrence program that also focused on collecting their own data on evictions—and charging property owners a fee for it. Additionally, there was a play to “conflict out” city council members with ties to the rental housing industry. Fortunately, a number of councilmembers saw through this effort and advocated for a more reasoned policy that focuses on solutions instead of punitive measures.

#6—Legislative Success in Committees

In recent years, we have found that if a legislative bill gets to the floor in the State Assembly or Senate, the outcome would essentially be fait accompli. So, we

have doubled our advocacy and education efforts at the committee level where the real work on the bills gets done. Doing so has yielded positive results!

Around this time, last year, we published an article that proclaimed that 2025 would be one of the most challenging legislative years in our history. And it was. But one-by-one we saw many of the most problematic bills die in committee—sometimes to a shocking degree. In the end, there were still some bad bills that got through, but compared to where things started in January, our industry did not fare as badly as we had anticipated.

A lot of the credit for these surprise victories goes to you—our members— who made the phone calls and sent the emails to state lawmakers this year— even when they were directed at out-ofarea legislators and their staffs who tried to direct you to your local legislators. Thank you for stepping up this year, and please keep up the efforts in 2026!

#5—Anaheim Rent Control Effort Staved Off

A lot of attention has been paid to the city of Anaheim’s gate tax proposal for events and amusement parks. What gets lost in that discussion is the efforts to loop rent control into that policy discussion.

Tenant activists were working part and parcel with the activists seeking to impose a tax on events and amusement parks—and have advocated that the city

needs both. However, as this tax effort has moved forward it has also included funding for housing. That seemingly simple move has pushed down the effort to pursue citywide rent control.

#4—Financing for Housing Opportunities

Usually, we think of interest rates as the main financial component that drives housing investment. However, NAA has been working with the Trump Administration to extend conversion tax credits to find more housing funds—as well as funding for the construction of affordable projects. Our state association, CalRHA, has similarly been working to help fund affordable housing tax credits—but has also looked at ways to bring down the costs to develop housing—including both the efforts for ADUs as well as trying to claw back the reach of the CEQA process.

The goal is to grow this industry and provide opportunities for more families to live in our great state—and we are proud of the progress that has been made.

#3—Undocumented Rent Registry? Not in Fullerton

In reaction to the impact that the ICE raids have had on communities across the southland, we have seen a rash of policies designed to assist those who have been targeted by ICE. Legislation has been introduced and several cities have set aside funding to assist those

impacted members of their communities.

In Fullerton, an interesting attempt was made by a member of the city council —to sneak a rent registry proposal into a report on services that could be provided to residents affected by ICE enforcement. Staff wrote the proposal into the report and it remained under the radar for a while…until we caught it and former AAOC president and current Fullerton City Councilmember Nick Dunlap met with the team in Fullerton to make sure that proposal did not move forward. Thank you, Nick!

#2—Shut Down of Key Legislation— AB 1157 and AB 1248

I mentioned earlier how effective we have been in working to stop or slow down bad bills at the committee level. The outcomes of AB 1157 and AB 1248 illustrate that effectiveness and success in an unprecedented way. But the fight isn’t over.

AB 1157 sought to extend rent caps in California indefinitely, and was authored by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee.

AB 1248 sought to require landlords to disclose every cost and fee associated with their housing—parking, valet trash service, utility billing service, and many other costs—upfront and in all advertising. Additionally, as originally written, the bill would have resulted in capping those fees throughout the tenancy. That bill was authored by Assemblymember Matt Haney, former Chair of the Assembly Housing Committee. Both bills were held in the commit-

PAVING COMPANY, INC.

tees chaired by the authors. Their bills stalled out in their own committees! That is extremely rare. Usually, legislators can get their bills through their own committees with little opposition. This is why it is so important that we get good chairs of key committees— and that we engage with the committee members early in the legislative process.

To that point, get ready, because both of those bills will be brought up again in their Assembly committees in early January 2026.

• Assembly Housing Committee— https://committees.assembly.ca.gov/ housing-finance-affordability/ members/member-roster

Feel free to reach out to them— now—and express your opposition to these bills.

#1—Santa Ana Rent Board Ruled Unconstitutional

Nearly three years in the making, AAOC’s lawsuit challenging Santa Ana’s rent control and just cause eviction ordinance has proven successful in validating legal problems with the city’s rent control scheme, and it seems we are finding increasing support and interest within the legal community.

At the time of this writing, we do not have the details of how it will be handled in Santa Ana—but we know we won a key summary judgement motion on the constitutionality of the rent board’s composition.

By the time you read this article, we should have a final ruling on the rent board issue, so please check your email or the AAOC website for updates.

Also, please consider a contribution to the AAOC Legal Defense Fund to help with our legal expenses as we have been fighting this fight since 2023 and litigation is very expensive. You can make your online donation at www.aaoc.com/legal-defense-fund.

Questions & Answers

My wife and I own a single-family residence as our only rental. Our tenants (husband and wife) have been in place for about 10 years and have never given us any problems. As a result, we have intentionally left the rent low, skipping increases frequently. Over the last six months or so, they have started complaining about the smallest things, going so far as to contact the city who inspected the property and found no violations. They are starting to drive me nuts and I get the feeling they may be running into financial trouble and are trying to set up a habitability defense should they fall behind, and we attempt to evict them. At this point, I’d prefer they simply move on, so I am hoping a hefty rent increase will make that happen. Anything I should know before giving them the increase?

To start, you haven’t really defined “hefty” but I’ll assume you mean an increase north of 10%. The first consideration is whether the permissible rent increase is capped by the Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482). Based on the fact that it is a single-family residence and your only rental, I’ll work on the assumption it meets the criteria to qualify as an exempted property, not subject to the permissible rent increase limitations. The second consideration is whether your increase will be viewed as “retaliatory.”

It is illegal for landlords to retaliate against tenants who have exercised their rights under the law, including the right to complain to federal, state, or

local agencies about habitability issues in their apartment. Generally speaking, you may neither reduce services, increase the rent, nor terminate the tenancy within 180 days of the tenant exerting a right, such as complaining to you or a government agency, or even utilizing the “repair and deduct” remedy (should you fail to fix something about which they complained). The concept is that landlords may not punish tenants because they are complaining or otherwise exercising legal their rights.

Having said that, the retaliation statute has its limitations. For example, it specifically states that retaliation may not be raised as an affirmative defense if the tenant is in default of rent, so you shouldn’t worry about it if the basis of a future eviction is non-payment of rent. In that case, your biggest concern in connection with affirmative defenses will be a habitability defense. Additionally, it is important to remember that simply because a tenant complains or otherwise asserts some right, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are strictly prohibited from terminating their tenancy or increasing their rent. The retaliation statues only create a “presumption” that there was a retaliatory intent which can be overcome by presenting a good faith reason for the increase or the termination. For example, where the rents are significantly below market, a landlord could justify a “hefty” increase by demonstrating the below market rents and the financial need to raise them beyond what might otherwise be a lower increase,

in order to meet the financial obligations of the property.

I recently had a long-term tenant who moved away for his job. Even though I offered him a walk-through inspection during the last two weeks of his tenancy for security deposit purposes, he declined, so it never occurred. Well, after he vacated, I went in and discovered he had installed a huge entertainment center made out of hardwood. This isn’t a few shelves. It takes up the entire living room wall. He’s been gone for about two weeks now and yesterday I received a text from him asking me when he can come by to remove it. He said he wants to make sure I don’t charge his deposit for its removal. I’m not sure I want him in the unit, and I’m certain I don’t want him tearing it out by himself. Candidly, it’s nice and I would just as soon keep it and provide it to the next tenant. Do I have to let him in to remove it? Do I have to give him a credit for it?

I assume your rental agreement includes a prohibition against tenants making alterations without your written consent. Still, it’s not too surprising you encountered a tenant who didn’t read the agreement and didn’t understand he or she wasn’t allowed to install an entertainment center in the apartment. So how does the law view that situation? Well, it depends on several factors, but an overview goes something like this: The installation of something on the

property generally makes it a “fixture” that becomes part of the property and now belongs to you. However, it isn’t that simple. For example, a judge would ask several questions before determining whether it has become a fixture, such as: 1) whether the entertainment center is something that the tenant can remove without significant damage; 2) whether your tenant got your permission; 3) whether your tenant had to make any structural changes during the installation that affect the use of the property; and 4) whether the entertainment center is firmly attached to the wall using nails, screws, or adhesives. Based on your description, it sounds like it was likely attached securely using one of the methods I described above, and coupled with the fact that the tenant failed to get your permission, a judge would likely decide the entertainment center is a fixture that now belongs to you.

While you are likely within your rights to keep it, it might make sense to offer your tenant a small sum for it to avoid the headaches of a small claims action against you. Who knows? Maybe he would prefer to receive a small sum of money and avoid the hassle of removing it.

I have a tenant who used “midnight movers” to skip out on his lease. He’s only two months into a one-year lease and he up and disappeared! No notice, no phone call, nothing. He simply sent me a text message last night telling me he had already moved and letting me know the keys are in the kitchen drawer. I’m probably lucky in that I dodged the costs of an eviction, but what do I do now, and what do I do about the remaining balance on the lease? Who knows how long it will take me to lease it up again?

If you haven’t already done so, confirm he’s actually out by checking the kitchen drawer for the keys. If they are there

and the unit is vacant, you can change the locks right away. Document the condition the unit was left in by taking pictures. Remember that new security deposit laws went into effect recently that require you to take pictures both before you do any repairs and/or cleaning, as well as afterward, in order to establish the need for the repairs and/ or cleaning. You need to provide the security deposit accounting within twenty-one days, and you can use it for any unpaid rent that might have accrued prior to him vacating.

Regarding the balance of the lease, the tenant remains on the hook for all the rent due under the lease for the balance of the lease term, as well as any costs you incur in re-letting the unit. However, you have a legal obligation to mitigate your damages by attempting to relet the property as reasonably fast as possible to minimize your losses. Be sure to document your due diligence by keeping records of everything you do to relet it, including ads run by any real estate agent you might hire to assist, advertising fees, and broker’s commissions. Also, in the unlikely event that you lease it for less than your former tenant was paying under the terms of his lease, he would remain responsible for the difference between his rental rate and that of the new tenant for the remainder of the term.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

I need to do some caulking in my apartment unit, both inside and outside the unit. However, I am confused. I stood at the home improvement center’s caulk section and stared for ten minutes. I still don’t know what to buy! Can you help explain the different types of caulk and where to use them? Frank

Dear Frank:

We understand! It seems every week there is a different type of caulk available for use. Let us try to break down the most common of caulk types and when and where to use them.

1. Acrylic Latex (AKA Painter’s Caulk): Inexpensive, easy to use, water cleanup. Not for use in damp locations such as bathroom or kitchen or outdoors. Designed to be painted over.

2. Vinyl Latex: Easy to use, water cleanup and can be used outside. Not very flexible; use in expansion joints is not recommended.

3. Acrylic Tile Sealant: Easy to use, water cleanup. The sealant is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens and other wet locations. It is mold and mildew resistant. Paintable.

4. Siliconized Acrylic Sealant: Easy to use, soap and water or solvent cleanup. Perfect for porcelain tile, metal and glass. Similar to Acrylic Tile Sealant, but tougher and longer lasting.

5. Pure Silicon: Best for non-porous surfaces. Long lasting, indoor/ outdoor caulk. Super flexible and strong. Harder to use than any of the above caulks. Solvent cleanup. Mold and mildew resistant. Could smell until cured.

6. Butyl Rubber: Best use is outdoors. Messy to use. Perfect for sealing

roofs, valleys, gutters, flashing and foundations. Moisture and movement tolerant. Sticks to anything. Cleanup with solvents.

7. Elastomeric Latex: Water cleanup. Longest lasting caulk. Great adhesion to almost all surfaces and can stretch close to 200%. Elastomeric caulk is very tolerant to wide temperature and weather extremes. It is most often used outdoors. This caulk can bridge gaps up to 2 inches wide and deep. The caulk dries very quickly, tool the caulk immediately after application.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I’m getting ready to have one of my rental units painted and the painter typically sprays the walls and ceiling as opposed to rolling on the paint. I’m a bit worried about my smoke and CO detectors. Am I being overly cautious? Chris

Dear Chris:

Overly cautious? No. We think you are right to worry. The paint and construction dust can contaminate the smoke/ CO detectors and lessen their sensitivity. It is important to either cover the detectors in a protective plastic bag or remove them during the painting and construction work. While you are there, check the batteries and dates of installation. If you remove the detectors during painting, don’t forget to reinstall them before the next resident moves in.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I want to create a seating and relaxing area in the middle of my building’s courtyard. My thoughts are to use decomposed granite and eliminate the current grass area. How do I go about installing the surface without making a mess or a future headache for myself.

Lynda

Dear Lynda:

Decomposed granite or DG for short is a great way to add a durable, natural and water wise surface. A few things you need to know before you get started.

The key word in DG is “Decomposed.” In other words, this granite is decomposing. There are three options: raw DG for flower beds, stabilized DG for walkways, and resin-coated DG for driveways.

For your purpose, you need to use a stabilized DG for walkways. It has a binder mixed into the DG. Non-stabilized DG is much cheaper, but will, of course, decompose, create dust when dry and slush when wet. To properly install DG, dig down three inches overall and use a wood, rock or brick border to keep the edges of the DG from crumbling. As an option, lay down a weed barrier cloth under the DG. Apply DG in one and a half inch layers, water down (don’t flood) and tamp or use a heavy roller to compress the DG. Wait eight hours between layers to let the DG settle. Repeat the above for each subsequent layer. When installed properly, the DG surface will be rock hard, stable, dust free and will allow water to drain.

Orange County Multifamily: Still a Powerhouse

It’s been a tough year to be a sports fan in the Dunlap household. UCLA football managed to underperform even its harshest critics and the Yankees—well, they once again proved that “Bronx Bombers” means bombing out before the Fall Classic. But, unlike my sports teams, the multifamily market in Orange County hasn’t completely let me down. It’s still a solid, if occasionally frustrating performer and the key to it all has been consistency.

The Strengths: Demand That Won’t Quit

Orange County remains one of the most desirable rental markets in the nation. Sun, surf, job growth and stability, and limited housing supply—it’s a recipe that has drawn investors to the area for decades and continues to do so today. Vacancy rates hover near historic lows, around 3%–4%, and rents continue to inch upward despite national headwinds. Locally, this resilience is fueled by strong employment

drivers in healthcare, tech, and professional services—industries less prone to wild economic swings.

Capital Markets: The Pitch Clock Is Ticking

The numbers don’t lie—2025 has been a grind. Interest rates have cooled investor enthusiasm faster than my Bruins on third-and-long. Deals that penciled easily two years ago now require surgical precision to make sense. Cap rates have nudged upward, but not enough to fully offset the higher cost of capital. For buyers, that means sharpening pencils and accepting thinner short-term returns in exchange for long-term positioning. For sellers, it often means swallowing pride and adjusting price expectations.

Institutional capital hasn’t abandoned the market, but it is definitely playing small ball. We’re seeing more joint ventures and recapitalizations instead of splashy acquisitions. The local private investor—someone who knows the submarkets, understands tenant behavior, and takes a long view—is once again the star of the lineup.

Operational Realities: It’s Not Just About Rent Growth

In this environment, operational excellence matters more than ever. Rent collections remain strong, but expenses —particularly insurance, property taxes, and maintenance—have eaten into margins. Owners who treat their properties like living investments rather than static assets are the ones winning

the game. Value-add plays still work, but the days of “lipstick and leverage” are over; thoughtful improvements that enhance the resident experience are what drive true NOI growth.

The Bottom Line

So, while my Bruins can’t find the endzone and October magic eluded my Yankees once again, Orange County’s multifamily market continues to grind out wins. It wasn’t a blowout year, but it’s not a rebuilding one either. Investors who stay disciplined, focus on fundamentals, and deliver consistent resident satisfaction are still positioned for post-season success. After all, in real estate—as in baseball—when playing the long-game: patience, fundamentals, and a deep bullpen (of capital) always beats flash and hype.

Estate & Legacy Planning Q&A Series

Start Small, Protect Big: Estate Planning for Real Life

In my last article, I talked about the fatigue I am seeing around estate and legacy planning. People feel stretched, distracted, and in many cases worn out. With everything happening in the world, it is no surprise that the idea of planning for what happens after we pass is often pushed off to the side. It feels like something we will get to later, when things calm down, or when life is a little less busy. The problem is that life rarely hands out those slow periods when everything lines up perfectly. So, while the hesitation is understandable, the consequences of doing nothing are still very real.

That is why I want to shift the conversation to something more approachable. Instead of focusing on the ideal plan, the complicated plan, or the long-range legacy plan, I want to talk about a simple, good enough plan. A plan that does not overwhelm you, does not consume your weekends, and does not require a ten-week class or a binder the size of a graduate thesis. This article is about the next step for people who know they should do something but do not know where to begin. If you fall into that category, you are in good company.

A good enough plan is exactly what it sounds like. It will not win awards for complexity or creativity, but it will prevent disasters. That alone puts you ahead of most families. The truth is, the difference between a smooth transition and a multi-year nightmare usually hinges on a handful of simple choices.

You do not need to build the perfect plan to achieve real protection. You just need to avoid the biggest pitfalls. Think of it as the estate planning version of clearing leaves out of your rain gutters. It is not glamorous, but it prevents very expensive repairs down the road.

So, let’s talk about what creates the greatest return. After working with many families, I can say with confidence that the most costly and painful outcomes almost always come from the same handful of issues. The good news is they are easy to fix. You do not need a trust attorney on retainer or a room full of color-coded folders. You just need a commitment to doing the practical minimum.

Here are the core elements of what I call the practical micro plan. These are the pieces that give you the best protection with the least amount of effort.

First, you need clear decision makers. This means naming someone for medical decisions and someone for financial decisions if you become incapacitated. Without these two documents, your family is left guessing at the worst possible time. They may need to go to court just to get the authority to act. A simple Advance Health Care Directive and a Power of Attorney solve this. These are not complicated documents, and you can complete them in a single afternoon.

Second, you need an updated beneficiary list. Retirement accounts, life insurance policies, bank accounts, and annuities all pass directly through beneficiary designations. They do not care

BY TIM GORMAN, REAL ESTATE BROKER/ CPA/ENTREPRENEUR/ AUTHOR

what your trust says. They do not care what your will says. If your beneficiary form lists an ex-spouse from 1997, guess who gets the money. This is one of the most common mistakes in estate planning, and one of the easiest to fix. Review your forms. Update them as needed. It is astonishing how often this single step prevents major disputes.

Third, you need an asset list and instructions on where things are. Not passwords or sensitive details, just a clear roadmap. What you own, where it is held, and who the advisors are. From real estate to bank accounts to life insurance, most of the stress in settling an estate comes from not knowing what exists. When successors cannot find documents, the process drags on for months or years. A simple inventory sheet solves this. Keep it somewhere safe and let your successor know how to access it.

Fourth, you need clarity about your big intentions. You do not need to write a novel explaining your feelings. You do not even need to hold a family meeting if you are not ready for that level of transparency. But you should write a short note (or video) that explains any major decisions you have made in your plan. This prevents misinterpretation and helps reduce misunderstandings. Your heirs may not always agree with you, but they deserve to understand you.

Finally, if you own real estate or have assets above the probate threshold

None requires a doctorate in finance or law. This is estate planning without overwhelm. It is simple, direct, and realistic. And once you have the basics in place, you can build from there at your own pace.

In my next article, we will explore ways to stay organized without letting this process take over your life. There are smart, uncomplicated methods that help families stay prepared without feeling buried in paperwork. My goal is to bridge the gap between the people who are fully invested in legacy planning and the people who feel intimidated by it. There is a path for everyone, and it starts with doing the minimum well.

Roofing 101 Series: Is Your Roof Rain Ready? Inspections and Maintenance Are Key

Preventative maintenance is always better than waiting for a problem to arise and having to fix it in a panic. If you ignore the “check engine” light in your car for too long, you could end up stranded on the side of the road. If you do the same to your roof, you could be awake at 2:00am during a storm begging for an emergency leak repair. Even after the clouds pass, you’ll be left with property damage, angry tenants, and a big bill from your roofer.

Contrary to popular belief, water is not the #1 cause of roof damage. Extreme weather is a culprit, but the sun does far more roof damage in the long run. In the summer months, the impacts of extreme heat and UV rays make your roof vulnerable before moisture becomes a problem. Similarly, fallen leaves and debris from a lack of regular maintenance can compromise the integrity of your roof.

Just like with your car, you can stop

many roof problems from happening with preventative care—but only if you know what to look for. The rainy season in Southern California can run as early as October and last through April showers in the spring. Completing the following checklist in advance of rain will not only save you money in the long run, but it is a quick and easy way to give you peace of mind for when the next storm strikes. Roof touch-ups can often be done in a single day and at a nominal expense, especially compared to fixing serious damage if you allow it to happen.

Check Roof Penetrations: Like most good things in life, you have to watch out for unintended consequences. Air conditioning duct work, skylights, chimneys, and satellite dishes all need to penetrate the roof to be installed. Those penetrations are far more susceptible to leaking compared to the “field” where the roofing material is uninterrupted. Any roof opening

BY STEVE PINKUS, OWNER OF ROYAL ROOFING COMPANY

MUST be monitored carefully. Luckily, preventative touch-ups to the seals are easy, affordable, and effective.

Fix Physical Damage: Cracked seals? Worn down shingles? Broken tiles? Rain only needs one point of entry to compromise the protection your roof is giving you. Physical roof damage is the most obvious red flag that is somehow still ignored too often. Replacing a few broken tiles now can save you from having to spend thousands of dollars on repairing your building after heavy rainfall.

Look for Ponding Water: When it does rain, a quick peek at the roof could reveal major red flags. For flat and low slope roofs, the accumulation (“ponding”) of water can reveal which areas of your roof need attention. While some ponding water remaining for 12–48 hours after it rains can be normal, significant ponding more than 48 hours after a storm is a major red flag.

Roofing 101 — continued on page 32

Even if it has not rained for months, you can still check for signs of ponding, as indicated by black or brown discoloration on your roof. Even worse, if you see staining on the ceiling inside, you already have a problem and need to call a specialist immediately.

Ensure Water Can Flow: When there is rain, it needs to flow freely without interruption. Clogged gutters,

drains, and downspouts mean two things: not only will the backed-up water sit and soak in to cause damage, but it can overflow and go upstream where it should not. Simply clearing away leaves and debris can stop the build-up of water and save you thousands of dollars. If the fallen leaves and branches become unmanageable, you may need to trim back overgrown trees.

removes doubt and instills confidence for both you and potential buyers in the future. Just like your car, your property benefits from setting a maintenance plan and keeping detailed records.

What Happens After the SB 721 Deadline? What Apartment Owners Need to Know Before January 1, 2026

BY ALI SAHABI

California law under Senate Bill 721 (2018) requires multifamily building owners to perform structural inspections of their exterior elevated elements (EEEs). As we enter the final month before the January 1, 2026 compliance deadline, “balcony” inspections remain a critical part of building ownership, ensuring occupant safety and protecting owners from costly liability.

When is the deadline?

The initial SB 721 inspection deadline was extended from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2026, because of significant logistical challenges, including a shortage of qualified inspectors and high demand statewide. The extension, under Assembly Bill 2579, gave property owners more time to complete the required inspections and any necessary repairs on their multifamily buildings.

Warning Against Inadequate Balcony Reports

SB 721 sets clear guidelines for balcony inspections and emphasizes the importance of thorough assessments. Building owners should be extremely cautious about relying on balcony reports that do not meet the bill’s requirements. These types of reports can:

• Fail to properly evaluate structural elements

•

• VISITOR PARKING DISPUTES

• UNAUTHORIZED PARKING

• PERMIT PARKING REQUIRED

• BLOCKING GARAGE

• BLOCKING DUMPSTER

• Miss signs of deterioration or concealed damage

• Use inadequate or incomplete inspection methods

• Give the false appearance of compliance

Many reports we’ve seen lack even the minimum required visual inspection of the balconies, landings, walkways, or supporting structural members. Unfortunately, several firms have appeared in the wake of this mandate offering quick or low-cost inspections that do not follow the law and ultimately place owners at risk.

Using a licensed engineer or engineering firm is essential. Licensed professionals understand the requirements, follow the state standards, and provide legally compliant inspection reports that protect both owners and occupants.

Will they extend the deadline again?

As of November 14, 2025, the deadline is still January 1, 2026. While a last-minute extension is always possible, there has been no indication from the state that the deadline will move again. Owners should proceed as though the current date is final.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

If your property is not inspected by January 1, 2026, it will be classified as non-compliant under SB 721. This does not mean immediate penalties, but it does place the property under the authority of your local municipality’s enforcement agency.

Cities may begin issuing:

• Notices requesting proof of inspection

• Orders to complete the inspection within a specific timeframe

• Administrative fees or penalties if no action is taken

Missing the deadline also leaves owners fully responsible for any balcony-related failures, insurance complications, or habitability concerns

until the inspection is completed.

The best step forward is to choose a reputable, licensed engineering firm and ensure you are officially in their queue as soon as possible.

If you missed the deadline, what should you do?

Due to high demand, many companies may not be able to complete inspections before the deadline. If that happens, don’t panic. What matters most is that you:

• Select a qualified, reputable company

• Get scheduled and obtain written confirmation

• Stay responsive to inspection dates and required access

Being in the queue shows good-faith effort, helps reduce the risk of enforcement action, and ensures the work can be completed as soon as possible.

First Rent Control, Now Tariffs. California Housing Providers Face Another Cost Squeeze

California housing providers are no strangers to rising costs and restrictive regulations. Between tightening rent control laws, escalating insurance premiums, labor shortages, and inflationary pressures, running a rental housing business has become increasingly difficult. Now, a new wave of federal tariffs threatens to make things even worse—driving up the cost of construction, remodeling, and maintenance across the state.

These new tariffs on softwood lumber, cabinetry, and related building components are poised to ripple through the entire housing market. For housing providers already squeezed by statewide rent control, the impact could be devastating, further discouraging new housing supply and making it even harder to maintain and upgrade existing units. While these changes reflect broader market forces that industries can typically adapt to, California’s rent control laws make it nearly impossible for housing providers to adjust and respond.

The New Tariffs on Lumber, Cabinets, and Vanities

In October 2025, the federal government implemented new tariffs on several imported building materials that are critical to residential construction. A 10% tariff was added to softwood lumber imports—used in nearly every phase of multifamily development from framing to roofing—while cabinets, bathroom vanities, and other wood-based fixtures were hit with a 25% tariff. Analysts expect those rates could rise even higher in 2026, with

cabinet and vanity tariffs potentially doubling to 50% if trade negotiations fail to ease supply pressures.

These tariffs are designed to strengthen domestic manufacturing, but they also increase costs for builders, remodelers, and ultimately housing providers who depend on these materials to maintain their properties. In most markets, such price changes would naturally flow through the economy, prompting rent adjustments and new investment to rebalance supply and demand. In California’s rent-controlled environment, however, those economic corrections are blocked by law.

Rising Costs Are a Normal Part of a Dynamic Market

In a healthy, free market, costs and prices rise and fall together. When material or labor costs increase, rents and housing prices naturally adjust to reflect those higher input costs. This is how markets self-correct—through price signals that guide new investment and encourage more housing supply.

But under rent control, that mechanism is broken. While construction and maintenance costs rise, rent increases are capped by law. This artificial restriction prevents property owners from covering their costs, discourages reinvestment, and ultimately limits the supply of quality rental housing.

When the Market Can’t Adjust, Supply Suffers

Higher construction costs—whether from tariffs, labor shortages, or regulation—make it harder to build new

housing. In a free market, rising rents would typically follow as demand outpaces supply, signaling developers to build more. Over time, that new supply would help rebalance the market.

In a rent-controlled environment, however, that chain reaction never happens. Builders see less incentive to start new projects when they can’t achieve returns that reflect rising costs. Property owners delay upgrades or reduce maintenance, and smaller housing providers – especially those operating older buildings—struggle to stay solvent. The result is a housing market that stagnates instead of adapting.

The Hidden Cost to Renters

Ironically, rent control policies designed to “protect” tenants often hurt them in the long run. In a non-rentcontrolled market, rents might rise temporarily in response to higher construction costs, but the increase would spur new building. That added supply would eventually stabilize prices and improve availability.

Under rent control, rents may remain artificially low in the short term, but the lack of new construction ensures long-term scarcity. When a rent-controlled unit finally turns over, the new rent is often much higher—not because landlords are price gouging, but because limited supply has driven up market rates for new renters entering the market. In effect, rent control benefits existing tenants at the expense of future ones, creating a widening gap between

Some Key Takeaways from the GlobeSt. Multifamily Conference

For over 30 years, GlobeSt. Multifamily has provided a networking and information sharing platform for the U.S. multifamily real estate market. This past October, GlobeSt. presented its annual Multifamily Conference in Los Angeles and provided attendees an opportunity to hear industry leaders and other insiders do a deep dive into the biggest challenges facing multifamily owners, operators, developers, and investors today.

Here are some key takeaways from this year’s conference that AAOC wants to share with its members and other multifamily industry partners.

Multifamily State of the Industry

A Market Bumping Along the Bottom

Despite positive fundamentals in some areas, the national transaction market remains sluggish with low volume. Deals that once closed in three to five months are now taking over a year, with many cycling through multiple buyers before closing. Investors have become highly selective, creating fierce competition for top-tier assets while leaving secondary properties with little interest, reflecting a risk-off sentiment across the industry.

Capital

Flees Regulatory for the Midwest

Investors are increasingly avoiding markets with high legislative risk and “toxic” regulatory environments, such as Los Angeles. This capital flight is redirecting toward secondary markets, particularly in the Midwest, which are

experiencing some of the nation’s strongest rent growth and offer a more pro-business climate. This heightened geographic mobility of capital is defining trend as firms seek yield and stability outside of volatile coastal hubs.

The Great Distress Wave Hasn’t Hit

The widely anticipated wave of foreclosures and distressed asset sales has not materialized on a large scale. Lenders and private equity groups are opting to “kick the can down the road” by granting extensions and refinancing loans rather than taking back properties and recording losses. This practice, combined with a liquid bridge debt market, is preventing the widespread distress that many investors had capitalized to pursue.

Development Deals in a High-Rate Environment: Challenges & Opportunities

The Capital Climate and Deal Viability

In a high-interest-rate environment, capital is scarce and cautious, making it difficult for new development deals to pencil out. Investors can often buy existing assets, sometimes from recently completed projects, for low below replacement cost, creating a challenging environment for groundup construction. This has led to a slowdown in the new start, particularly in markets like Los Angeles, which some in the investment community have effectively redefined due to regulatory and economic pressures.

BY DEBBIE DIBERNARDO, AAOC DIRECTOR OF ADVERTISING & SALES

Navigating the Regulatory Maze

Regulatory frameworks, especially in California, present a significant barrier to development, often creating more problems than they solve. While some jurisdictions like San Diego have successfully streamlined housing production, others like Los Angeles create constant uncertainty with new ordinances, such as construction wage hikes, that counteract state-level reforms. These hurdles can extend entitlement and zoning processes for years, making development in other states comparatively faster and more predictable.

Controlling Costs Through Vertical Integration

A key strategy for surviving the current market is controlling hard costs and overall project basis through vertical integration. Developers with inhouse construction, management, and even subcontractor divisions can significantly lower their cost basis compared to competitors that rely on third-party general contractors. This model provides a crucial advantage in getting deals across the finish line by managing expenses for material, labor, and overhead more effectively.

Case for Free-Market Flexibility

California’s housing challenges can’t be solved by restricting the very mechanisms that allow the market to adapt. A free market doesn’t mean unchecked rent hikes—it means a system where supply, demand, and cost signals work together to maintain balance. When policymakers impose rent control in the midst of rising construction

costs, they distort that balance. Instead of creating more affordable housing, they stifle investment and reduce supply. For the housing market to remain resilient— especially in times of economic change —it needs the freedom to respond naturally to shifting conditions.
