PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

I’m Not Gaslightin’ Ya’!

Iwould like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our members who took the time to respond to our Red Alerts over the past few months and express concern and opposition to the South Coast Air Quality Management District regarding its Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121. In summation, these proposed rules would have financially disincentivized homeowners, rental property owners, and businesses from their continued use of natural gas furnaces and water heaters–basically forcing their hands to transition to “cleaner” and more costly electric powered devices. After a day of passionate public comment on both sides of the issue on June 6, 2025, the AQMD Governing Board voted 7–5 to reject staff’s recommendation. The first time that has happened on a major policy issue in a quarter century.

I grew up at the base of Whittier Hills during the early and mid-1970s and I can remember days when the air quality was so impacted by “smog” that you

could not see the hills on Stage 2 and 3 smog alert days. I can remember playing outside on smoggy days when your lungs felt like you had swallowed water while swimming all day. Thankfully, I cannot remember the last day we had a “smog alert” requiring reduced driving and mandating carpooling.

Those days are long past, and the reality is that a ban on gas appliances would have negligible effects on air quality—if any at all. Yet there were community organizers and others in support of the proposed rule changes at the meeting who claimed in their public comments that the air “has never been worse” and “people are dying— everyday—because of the bad air quality” in their communities. Go figure.

Had the proposed rule changes been approved, they likely would have faced a similar fate to the city of Berkeley’s ordinance, which was successfully challenged by the California Restaurant Association in 2024. My legal intuition tells me these regulations will almost

Roberts Management & Investments

certainly face preemption issues via the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

On a more personal note, gas powered heaters and stoves are essential because you can at least cook and take a warm shower if/when the power goes out. As our State becomes more reliant on an aging electrical grid and distribution system, we need to have reliable alternatives, like natural gas. Not to mention, I refuse to cook on electric ranges because I always get burned!

Lastly, but most importantly, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Independence Day! God Bless America!

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Tenant Protection Bills Continue Their Progression

Of the key bills that continue to move through the legislature affecting residential rental property, I wanted to feature two key bills that undoubtably will catch your attention—and ire.

AB 246 (Byran)

The first bill we continue to oppose is AB 246 (Byran). The measure establishes the “Social Security Protection Act of 2025” to prohibit evictions of tenants who experience a loss of income due to the social security payment interruption. Mr. Bryan’s bill requires the Department of Finance to monitor the status of social security benefit payments and if it determines that there is a social security benefit payment interruption for any reason, as we will explain, then it must deliver notice of its determination to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, other relevant fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature, and the Judicial Council. AB 246 requires the Department to deliver notices in the same manner if it determines that payments have been restored. The measure further provides that the declared payment interruption begins when the Legislative Joint Budget Committee receives notice from the Department and ends when the Joint Legislative Budget Committee receives notice that the payments have been restored, or six months after the commencement of the declaration, whichever is earlier.

Remarkably, the bill prohibits any court from issuing a summons on a

complaint for unlawful detainer that is based in whole or in part on the nonpayment of rent or other charges it the defendant experiences a loss of income during the pendency of a declared payment interruption.

Further, the bill requires a plaintiff that files a UD complaint during a declared payment interruption to file a cover sheet that states whether the action seeks possession of residential real property, whether the action is based, in whole or in part, on an alleged default in payment of rent or other charges, and whether the defendant is experiencing a loss of income due to a benefit interruption (as if any owner or manager has the ability to know of a social security payment interruption). The state Judicial Council must create the cover sheet before the bill is effective.

AB 246 also provides that nothing prevents a court from issuing a summons or entering default for:

• An action that is not based, in whole or in part, on nonpayment of rent or other charges.

• An action that is based, in whole or in part, on non-payment of rent or other charges, but no defendant in the action receives social security payments. Owners and managers would have to know that at any time a renter starts receiving social security benefits that the owner and manager would be prohibited from proceeding with a UD.

• A UD action that had a summons on a complaint issued before the commencement of the declared payment interruption.

Notices to pay rent or quit the premises during the pendency of a declared payment interruption would be required to meet specified requirements and the bill requires dismissal of a UD action if it does not meet these requirements.

Tenants who deliver a declaration to the owner or manager within 15 business days (which works out to more than three weeks) are not deemed to be in default of the rental debt during the pendency of the payment interruption.

As you scratch your head why this bill is necessary in the eyes of the author—simply put, it’s the threat or perceived threat of DOGE, which is terminating thousands of employees and closing federal offices. The Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity and its Office of Transformation has closed offices and the author argues there is an ever-present threat that social security offices will soon close. Because of loss of employees and offices, there will be payment interruption. Therefore, tenants will not be able to meet financial obligations including the payment of rent. It is noteworthy that no other essential needs of renters such as food and medical will be affected by Mr. Byran’s bill.

10 Strategic Actions to Take During California’s Legislative Summer Recess

From July 18 to August 12, the California State Legislature will be in summer recess and members will return to their home districts. While it may seem like a natural time to catch your breath, this period presents a powerful opportunity for property owners, operators, and advocates to engage directly with their lawmakers in their own communities—and influence the final month of the 2025 legislative session.

This year has already seen significant defensive victories for the rental housing industry. Key proposals that would have expanded rent control, further restricted owners’ rights in the eviction process, and mandated costly equipment changes were successfully blocked. And the industry also advanced legislation exposing the real costs and consequences of squatting—changing perceptions in the Capitol.

But we can’t afford to be passive during this break. The Legislature will reconvene on August 12 and active bills will need to be passed by September 12 and go to the Governor’s desk by September 30 if they are to have any chance of being signed into law. Now is the time to make sure state lawmakers return to Sacramento with a clear understanding of the real-world impacts their decisions would have on housing providers and renters alike.

Here are ten impactful steps rental housing providers can take during the summer recess:

1. Share Legislative Successes

From defeating the AQMD’s proposed ban on gas-powered water heaters and furnaces to stopping flawed eviction and rent control bills, our collective efforts are paying off. Share those wins with your peers, vendors, and local partners. Awareness builds momentum—and unifies the industry for what’s still to come.

2. Host a Property Tour

Lawmakers often vote on rentalhousing bills without understanding what it really takes to operate a property. Invite your local elected officials to visit your rental community. Show them how you handle maintenance, provide tenant support, and facilitate community-building. Personal experience is a powerful teacher.

3. Educate Your Residents

Let your residents know how you’ve worked to protect their housing stability. Cost spikes, utility limitations, and unintended credit damage from eviction policies were all real threats this year. When residents see you as a partner— not just a provider—they can become powerful allies in advocacy.

4. Prepare Data on Insurance Increases

Insurance costs have skyrocketed while allowable rent increases remain capped under AB 1482. Run the numbers: calculate insurance increases per unit, per property, and as a percentage

of operating costs. This data will be crucial in upcoming discussions with regulators and legislators.

5. Contact Your Legislators

Engage directly on key bills. Ask Assemblymembers to oppose SB 52 (Durazo), which could limit your ability to use technology like AI in rent pricing. Urge Senators to vote against AB 628 (McKinnor), which mandates appliance performance requirements and strict recall timelines, creating a compliance burden for many housing providers. Lawmakers need to hear your perspective before final decisions are made.

6. Share Industry Publications

Publications, like Apartment News, provide valuable information and visibility for the industry. Distribute copies to neighboring property owners, chamber of commerce members, and local elected officials. Use it as a tool to elevate public conversation about responsible property management.

7. Compare Today’s Costs to 2019

Maintenance, utilities, staffing, legal fees, and insurance are all significantly higher than just five years ago. Meanwhile, rent caps remain in place. Start building the case now for why AB 1482 should not be extended beyond its 2030 sunset. Data drives policy change.

Watch — continued on page 10

8. Call the Insurance Commissioner

California’s rental property insurance crisis continues with little relief. The FAIR Plan is at risk, and carriers are leaving the state. Contact the Department of Insurance directly at (213) 346-3500 and share your story. Real pressure and real numbers are needed to drive reform.

9. Submit a Letter to the Editor

Your experiences matter—and local newspapers are always seeking opinion pieces. Use the cost data you’ve compiled to illustrate the challenges of operating responsibly under current laws. Hyperlocal news outlets like the Capistrano Dispatch, Foothill Sentry,

SB 436 (Wahab)

Another bill of great interest that we continue to oppose is SB 436 (Wahab). The bill extends the “pay or quit” notice period required to be given by an owner or manager to a tenant for the nonpayment of rent before the owner/ manager may bring an unlawful detainer action from three to 14 days! And if that was not enough, the bill gives

or San Clemente Times are especially effective at influencing elected officials and community sentiment.

10. Schedule a District Office Meeting

Legislative staff are actively filling their calendars right now. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet face-to-face with legislators and their staff members to discuss the challenges facing your business. Bring data, tell stories, and give them the tools to advocate for balanced, informed policymaking when they return to Sacramento.

Bonus: Document an Eviction Timeline

Compile a timeline of your most recent eviction—from lease violation to resolution—including legal costs and lost revenue. These cases highlight the

to lockout. Further, if the tenant submits verification to the court of rental assistance funds to pay for the rent that is owed, the court would be required to continue the case for at least 15 additional court days and stay the execution of any writ of possession. The bill, therefore, would undo every protection that owners have pursuant to the Costa Hawkins Act. While existing law already allows courts discretion to dismiss evictions due to demonstrated hard-

unintended consequences of poorly constructed tenant protections and provide compelling evidence of system inefficiencies.

Make This Summer Recess Count

This legislative recess could define the success of our industry’s efforts in 2025. Through direct engagement, data-driven advocacy, and strategic storytelling, we have an opportunity to ensure our voice remains central in the policy debate.

Let’s use the time wisely—and lead the conversation.

process we have in our state. The bill fails to account for tenants with repeated histories of non-payment of rent and allows them to delay rent payments until the final stage of the eviction process and not pay owners legal costs.

Questions & Answers

I have a high-rent property and, as everyone knows, the market isn’t overflowing with credit-worthy people, at the moment. Luckily, I had a gentleman apply who works as a foreign diplomat and appears to have the income necessary to meet my rental criteria. Seems like a standup kind of guy—likeable, friendly, responsible, etc. Is there anything I should be aware of before renting to a diplomat? If so, what can I do to protect myself?

Yes! In a word—immunity.

In the United States, several levels of immunity are granted and which level an individual has will depend on their “rank” The higher the rank, the greater the immunity afforded the diplomat. “Diplomatic Agents” are immune from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits altogether. Moreover, diplomatic immunity makes a diplomat “inviolable,” meaning they cannot be evicted, sued, or subjected to legal processes like eviction proceedings, even if they are not

paying rent or violating the lease. So, how do you protect yourself? Good question. If they are simply so “likeable and friendly” that you still want to rent to them, despite their immunity, there may be other strategies you can employ.

One option is to have the diplomat ask another individual who is not a diplomat to apply and be listed as the Lessee. The diplomat can then be listed as an occupant rather than the “tenant.” In that situation, the unit does not become the “property of a foreign state” entitled to immunity, and you can always initiate an unlawful detainer action against the named Lessee.

As another approach, you can consider contacting their embassy or diplomatic mission and asking for their assistance should things go sideways. Many diplomats have their rent paid by their mission. Engaging with the mission directly may be a way get you results.

Alternatively, you can seek assistance from the Office of Foreign Missions within the U.S. Department of State. They can request the mission waive the diplomat’s immunity or facilitate their recall to their home country.

In short, the standard eviction process won’t work against a diplomat due to their “immunity,” so think long about it before taking them on as a tenant— even if he is likeable and friendly.

My wife and I just closed escrow on a fourplex last week. The building is clean and the tenants seem to be great. They’ve all lived there for several years now, with no apparent problems or hiccups. Other than introducing ourselves, is there anything we should do during this transition phase to protect ourselves? The first will be coming up shortly and I want to make sure we’ve dotted our “I’s” and crossed our “T’s” before I start knocking on doors for rent.

Before you do anything, be sure to send them a letter informing them that you are the new owners and providing them with the name, telephone number, and street address at which personal service may be effected on each person who is either: 1) the owner; 2) someone authorized to manage the premises; or 3) a person authorized to act on your behalf for the purpose of service of process.

In addition to the disclosure requirements above, you must also disclose the name, telephone number, and address of the person or entity to whom rent payments shall be made, as well as whether rent payments may be made personally, the usual days and hours that the person will be available to receive the payments shall also be disclosed and, finally, the form or forms in which rent payments are to be made.

The information required by the statute must be kept current and extends to any successor owner or manager, who must also comply with the statute within 15

days of succeeding the previous owner or manager.

In the event you don’t follow the statute’s requirements, you may not serve a notice to pay rent or quit or evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent that accrued during the time period in which you were in non-compliance with the statute. In other words, until you serve the required notice, you can’t evict your tenants for non-payment of rent that

may have accrued during the period of non-compliance.

In your case, it sounds like you have good tenants who pay their rent without a problem, so this will probably not turn into an issue. However, as any landlord can tell you, years of on time payments can change in the blink of an eye, so it would be best to serve your notice of change in ownership right away—just in case.

I’ve had several evictions for non-payment of rent during my time as a landlord. But now I am dealing with a tenant who pays the rent every month, but simply refuses to follow the rules of her lease. For example, even though her lease specifically states she must put the utilities in her name, she hasn’t done so after living in my building for 5 months now. I spoke with a friend of mine who also owns rentals and he told me that other than non-payment of rent, evicting a tenant for breach of the other terms of the rental agreement is nearly impossible. Is that true?

Not really. Landlord’s may terminate tenancies for breaches of the agreement that are not “trivial.” In other words, a landlord may terminate a tenant’s tenancy for “substantial” breaches of the agreement. Usually, it is the judge who determines whether a specific breach is “trivial” or “substantial” and a violation of the lease provisions can work on a “sliding scale.” For example, while your lease likely has a “no pets” clause, no judge in the world would find a onegallon fish bowl with a gold fish to be a substantial breach warranting an eviction. On the other hand, a family who brings home a pitbull as a “rescue dog” could easily be seen to be in “substantial” violation of the agreement. In your situation, the requirement to place the utilities in the tenant’s name would likely be seen as something substantial enough to warrant terminating the tenancy should the tenant fail to do so after being served a cure-covenants notice. You should immediately serve a cure covenants notice demanding that she place the utilities in her own name. If she fails to do so within the notice period, file an eviction and have her removed from the property.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have a parking area at my building with concrete bumper stoppers. The problem is that when the cars touch the stopper, they move. How do I attach them to the parking lot? Bill

Dear Bill:

If you have an asphalt parking lot, it is quite easy. Most concrete bumper stoppers have two holes that go through from top to bottom. These holes are just the right size to fit a piece of half inch rebar rods. Pick up two 12-to-18-inch pieces of rebar for each stopper. Place the rebar through the holes in the stopper and then use a sledgehammer and pound the rebar into the asphalt.

If your parking area is concrete, use a hammer drill with a ½ inch concrete bit to drill a hole in the concrete. Use your existing parking bumper as a guide. Either drill down through the holes in the bumper stop to the concrete below or use powdered chalk poured down through the bumper stop’s holes to mark the concrete. Then drill all the way through the concrete until you hit dirt. Hammer your rebar into the bumper and concrete. If the fit is loose, pour some concrete into the parking lot holes and then insert the rods.

Dear Maintenance Men:

A building inspector once made me correct a sump pump plumbing line that discharged rainwater into a municipal sewer line. Can you clarify for me the do’s and dont’s of patio drains? Michael

Dear Michael:

Great question and one that many people might not think is important. To many, a drain is a drain is a drain, and most individuals don’t know where the water drains to and what environmental impact wastewater can cause.

In urban areas and most municipalities, waste waters are directed to their proper destinations via a sewer drain or a storm drain. As an example: A sewer drain often carries wastewater from toilets, kitchens, and laundry areas directly to a wastewater treatment facility. On the other hand, a storm drain will direct rainwater from roofs, driveways, and streets (including patio drains into streams) to aquifers or the ocean. The reason for the two different systems is so rain or runoff water does not overwhelm the sewer waste treatment facilities and force the release of untreated raw sewage into the storm systems which, of course, leads to our streams, aquifers and the ocean. Because the storm and sewer drains eventually empty into the environment, contaminants such as oil, paint, and other hazardous materials must be disposed of properly and not into the drains. Check with your city or county as some municipalities have very specific rules about runoff water.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have been replacing rusted and dented HVAC vents and electrical wall receptacles in a rental unit. However, they don’t look right. There are a lot of gaps between the vents and plates and

the wall. Some of the walls are not perfectly flat or the texture is bumpy. How do I make these installs more professional looking? Julien

Dear Julien:

Caulk is your friend, and caulk will hide a multitude of sins! On a job like this we recommend getting a squeeze tube of painter’s caulk. Squeezable caulk tubes are readily available at any hardware or home improvement center. Cut a small angled cut off the tip of the tube. Best to make the cut about 45 degrees. You want to open the tube just enough to get about an eighth inch thick line of caulk out of the tube. Run this caulk line all around the vents and wall plates edges. Gently run your finger along the caulk line pressing it into place. Any excess caulk can be removed with a damp paper towel. Once done, your vents and plates will look like they are part of the wall and will look very professional.

Dear Maintenance Men:

What is one thing I can do to make an older rental unit appear more modern? I don’t want to do a complete rehab, just a few touches to appear more up to date. Randy

Dear Randy:

We have recently discovered an easy way to make many people very happy with this simple update to a unit. Purchase and install wall outlets with USB ports. Today everybody has a phone and/or a tablet with them.

However, getting that phone or tablet charged is always a challenge. Install a USB-enabled receptacle in the kitchen, in each bedroom, and along any suitable flat surface. All a resident needs to have is a USB cable to change their devices and they will think this is a very clever idea! Another idea is to replace boring kitchen cabinet knobs with nice modern updated knobs. This will lift the look of your kitchen and bathrooms without breaking the bank.

an email telling me she knows I am being foreclosed on, so she doesn’t owe me anything. Is that true? Do I lose the right to collect rent if my house goes into default?

Sounds like your tenant is trying to take advantage of your difficult situation. No, you do not lose your right to collect rent simply because you fall behind on your payments and the bank has initiated foreclosure proceedings. You are entitled to collect rent from the tenant until the day you are no longer the owner. Serve your tenant with a three day notice to pay rent or quit and if she refuses to pay within the notice period, file an action for eviction.

COVER YOUR ASSETS

Hold School

Iget it—the market is tempting.

Inventory is tight, rental rates are still strong, and asset values have largely held, even as interest rates and cap rates have moved upward. On paper, it feels like an opportune moment to make a move. But before rushing into a sale, it’s worth revisiting the fundamentals—and the question I’m asking this month:  today’s market if you don’t have to?

Historically, real estate investors have operated on a fairly straightforward formula: borrow capital at a rate lower than the projected return on the asset. That spread is where the magic happens. But during the post-COVID era of ultralow interest rates, we saw something unusual—investors acquiring properties at or near interest rate parity, or even in negative leverage positions. People were borrowing at 3.5% to buy at 3.5% cap rates, convinced that rents would climb and rates would actually fall.

Cap rates are creeping up, but not at the same pace as interest rates. Cap rates are still a subjective conversation— location, asset class, and operations can all skew perception—but that’s not the crux of this piece. The real question is:  If you won’t improve your cash flow,

diversify into lower-yielding investments? That last option is more of a step backward than forward.

It’s also worth remembering that strategic selling requires strategic buying. If you’re going to list your asset, you should already have a vision for the next step—whether that’s consolidating several smaller properties into a single higher-quality building, relocating capital into a different submarket, or executing a repositioning play. That takes preparation, not spontaneity. Timing a sale to maximize value is a lot different than reacting to the market because of

So, here’s my take: in today’s environment, holding might be the more powerful position. Not because selling is inherently wrong, but because thoughtful ownership—backed by strategic planning—often outperforms reactive investing. If your current assets are performing, producing income, and likely to benefit from long-term demographic and supply trends, the smartest move might be the one where you do

Common Myths in Estate Planning and How to Avoid Them

As we begin our new series, we shift focus to addressing the common myths surrounding estate and legacy planning. Over the course of my career, I’ve encountered numerous misconceptions about this topic, and it’s time to clear the air.

Estate planning is about assets, while legacy planning is about immaterial things you leave behind such as your life lessons and memory. The two topics are tied together. You can’t plan one without

planning the other. The perfect asset plan without consideration to family dynamics is destined to cause family drama. The perfect emotional and legacy plan without proper tax and asset planning could end up costing a sizable portion of the estate lost to taxes.

Estate planning is critical for everyone, regardless of age or wealth, but there are a lot of misunderstandings that can cause people to put off creating a plan or cause them to make costly mistakes. This series will break down some of those myths and help you navigate the complexities of estate planning with confidence.

The first and perhaps most pervasive myth is that estate planning is only for the wealthy. Many people assume that because they don’t have millions of dollars, they don’t need to plan for the distribution of their assets. In reality, estate planning is just as important for people with modest estates as it is for those with vast fortunes. Whether you own a home, have a retirement account, or want to ensure that your family is cared for after you’re gone, estate planning is a way to make sure your wishes are honored and that your loved ones are protected.

Myth

#1: “I don’t need an

estate

plan if I don’t have a lot of assets.”

This is a myth that often leads people to delay creating an estate plan. Many assume that without a large estate, there’s no need to plan for the future. However, regardless of the size of your

estate, having a plan in place will make things much easier for your family when you’re gone. Estate planning ensures that your property, assets, and personal belongings go to the right people. It also helps avoid the time-consuming and often costly process of probate, which can be a burden on your family.

Myth #2: “I can avoid taxes with a will alone.”

While a will is an essential part of your estate plan, it doesn’t guarantee that you can avoid estate taxes. Estate planning involves much more than just writing a will. Estate taxes can still apply depending on the size of your estate and how it is structured. For example, there are various tax-efficient tools, such as trusts and gifting strategies, that can help reduce your estate tax liability. A will alone doesn’t protect your estate from taxes and may not help you avoid other burdens like probate or unnecessary delays in the distribution of your assets.

Myth #3: “Trusts are only for the ultra-wealthy.”

Another misconception is that trusts are reserved for those with very large estates. While it’s true that trusts can be valuable for wealthier individuals, they can benefit anyone looking to avoid probate, maintain privacy, and ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes. A trust allows for more Common Myths — continued on page 22

control over how your assets are managed and distributed, and it can be an excellent tool for those with children, specific needs, or complex family dynamics. Even a relatively small estate can benefit from the protections a trust offers.

Myth #4: “If I have a will, my estate won’t go through probate.”

Many people believe that having a will is enough to avoid probate. However, this is not true. Probate is the legal process through which your assets are distributed after your death, and a will simply ensures that your wishes are followed during this process. While a will provides clear instructions on how your assets should be divided, it does not avoid the probate process. Probate can be time-consuming and costly, and in some cases, can lead to public exposure of your estate details. One way to avoid probate is through the use of trusts, joint ownership, and beneficiary designations that bypass probate.

Myth #5: “I don’t need to update my estate plan once it’s done.”

Estate planning is not a one-time task. Life changes, whether through marriage, the birth of children, divorce, or significant financial shifts, can all impact your estate plan. A common mistake is assuming that once you’ve created your plan, it’s done for good. In reality, it’s essential to revisit your estate plan regularly and make updates as

necessary. For example, if you move to a new state, your will may need to be updated to meet local laws. If there are changes to your family dynamics, you’ll want to review your beneficiaries, guardianship designations, and asset distribution to ensure they reflect your current wishes.

Myth #6: “Only the executor needs to know the details of my estate plan.”

While your executor plays a critical role in carrying out your estate plan, it’s important to share your plan with other key individuals, such as your beneficiaries, successor trustees, and power of attorney agents. Communication is a critical component of effective estate planning, and by sharing your plan with the people who will play a role in it, you can avoid confusion and potential conflicts down the road. Having open conversations about your plan also helps ensure that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities when the time comes.

Myth #7: “I don’t need to worry about estate planning if I’m young and healthy.”

Many people think estate planning is something they’ll worry about later in life, especially when they’re younger and in good health. However, accidents and unexpected health issues can occur at any age, and having an estate plan in place can provide peace of mind. A well-thought-out estate plan is not just about the distribution of assets; it also includes healthcare directives, powers of attorney, and the appointment of

guardians for minor children. By creating your estate plan early, you ensure that your wishes are known and that your loved ones are prepared should anything happen to you.

Myth #8: “I can do it all on my own without professional help.”

While there are plenty of DIY tools available, creating a comprehensive estate plan without professional help can be risky. Estate planning is complex, involving legal, financial, and tax considerations that require specialized knowledge. Making mistakes or missing critical details can lead to costly errors down the road, such as unintended tax liabilities, improper asset distribution, or family disputes. By working with an experienced estate planning attorney, you can ensure that your plan is legally sound and tailored to your unique needs and goals.

As we continue our journey through the world of estate planning, it’s important to remember that myths are by nature misleading. The truth is, estate planning is essential for everyone, no matter their wealth, age, or stage in life. By understanding the realities of estate planning and working with the right professionals, you can create a plan that ensures your legacy is preserved, your loved ones are cared for, and your wishes are respected.

In the next article, we will dive deeper into more myths surrounding estate planning and provide practical tips to help you avoid common mistakes. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the truth behind the misconceptions, and help you build a strong, lasting legacy for yourself and your family.

Are You SB 721 & SB 326 Compliant?

SB 721 and SB 326 require regular inspections of balconies and other exterior elevated elements in California apartment buildings and condominiums. Missing your deadline can result in fines, liability, and safety risks.

What are SB 721 and SB 326?

In response to a deadly balcony collapse at a UC Berkeley apartment complex in 2015, California adopted two laws—SB 721 and SB 326—to protect residents and hold property owners accountable for building safety. Both laws focus on the inspection and maintenance of Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs)—including balconies, decks, landings, stairways, and elevated walkways made of wood or similar materials.

Here’s the breakdown:

• SB 721—Applies to apartment buildings with three or more dwelling units and requires inspections every six years.

• SB 326—Applies to condominium associations and HOAs and requires inspections every nine years, coordinated with the HOA’s reserve study.

The goal is clear—identify hazards before they become life-threatening. This is not a formality. It’s a legal requirement that could save lives.

Why E3 (EEE) Laws Matter

Structural failures can happen silently over time, especially in buildings exposed to rain, salt, air, and changing temperatures. Dry rot, corrosion, and water intrusion are some of the most common (and invisible) culprits.

If You’re Not Compliant, You’re at Risk For:

• Legal penalties and local enforcement action

• Lawsuits from tenants or injured parties

• Hefty repair bills due to unchecked damage

• Loss or denial of insurance coverage

• Decreased property value or difficulty selling

Beyond legal consequences, failing to inspect puts human lives at risk. These laws are not red tape. They are essential.

When Are Balcony Inspections Due in California?

Thousands of properties across California are already past due for required balcony inspections — or they are about to be. California’s two key balcony inspection laws: SB 721 and SB 326 set strict deadlines to ensure building safety. It’s crucial to know which law applies to your property and when your inspection is due to stay compliant and keep residents safe.

SB 721 (Apartment Buildings)

Applies to multifamily rental properties with 3 or more units. The first SB 721 inspection must be completed by January 1, 2026, for buildings constructed before 2019. After this initial balcony inspection, re-inspections are required every six (6) years to maintain ongoing safety compliance.

SB 326 (Condos & HOAs)—Applies to condominium complexes and other common interest developments managed by HOAs. The first SB 326 inspection was due by January 1, 2025. Subsequent balcony inspections under SB 326 are required every nine (9) years thereafter to ensure continued structural integrity.

Tip: Don’t wait until the last minute. Even if your official deadline hasn’t arrived yet, schedule your balcony inspection early. This gives you ample time to budget for any repairs, plan around occupants, and avoid the rush as everyone scrambles to book inspectors close to the deadline. The closer we get to these dates, the harder it will be to find an available licensed inspector. Acting early means you’ll beat the backlog and ensure your property meets California’s balcony inspection requirements without last-minute stress. Staying ahead of these deadlines not only keeps you compliant with SB 721 and SB 326 but also protects your tenants

and investment. Schedule an inspection as soon as possible to avoid penalties and safeguard your building’s safety.

Elements to

Inspect include:

• Balconies, decks, and porches

• Exterior stairways, catwalks, and landings

• Elevated walkways and platforms

• Railings, guards, and supporting components

• Fasteners, framing, and waterproofing systems

What Inspectors Look For:

• Dry rot or fungal damage

• Rust or corrosion on metal supports

• Water intrusion and drainage failure

• Structural stability and weightbearing integrity

• General wear and code compliance Inspectors must provide a written report, which may include repair recommendations or note urgent safety concerns.

What to look for when selecting an inspection company

• Licensed structural engineers with deep experience in EEE inspections

• Digital inspection reports—clear, compliant, and accessible

• Repair coordination with vetted contractors if repairs are needed

• Deadline tracking so you never miss a compliance window

• Education and support to help property owners navigate the process

Don’t Let the Deadline Sneak Up on You

Many owners don’t realize they’re already out of compliance. Others assume the inspection will be fast or

optional—until a code violation shows up at their door.

Even if your inspection deadline is still months away, early evaluations give you:

• More repair options and contractor availability

• Better budgeting for long-term maintenance

• Less stress when the real deadline approaches

Get Compliant Today

Remember, the SB 721 compliance deadline for apartment buildings is just five months away—January 1, 2026. If you have not yet contacted a balcony and deck inspection company to schedule a building inspection—do it today!

Anti-Squatter Legislation Continues Momentum

30 states are considering bills, with 13 new laws enacted.

In the first half of 2025, the National Apartment Association (NAA) has tracked an uptick in anti-squatter legislation at the state level, intended to provide housing providers and law enforcement with greater tools to address unauthorized occupants in vacant homes. 30 states are considering legislation, building on last year’s momentum, and 13 states have enacted new or additional laws.

2024 saw a surge in legislation largely defining and criminalizing squatting to allow for removal by law enforcement and creating removal procedures distinct from states’ eviction processes. Previously treated as a civil issue, squatter removal without these procedures often leads to extended periods without relief for rental property owners. Squatters impose significant costs and safety concerns for rental communities: Delayed turnover, lost rent, property damage and

legal burdens. The current wave of legislation reflects a growing demand for practical, enforceable solutions.

Key 2025 Legislative Trends

Bills mirror or expand on previous efforts as states continue anti-squatting push:

• Criminalization. More states are treating squatting as a felony, such as Wyo. and N.D., enabling quick police intervention and potentially deterring squatters.

• Expedited Removal. States like Ind., Ky. and Utah now allow affidavit/ petition-based procedures for law-enforcement removal—often within 48 hours and sometimes paired with immunity protections for officers, further streamlining the process.

• Expanded Scope. New bills go beyond occupancy, targeting fraudulent property transactions, property damage and unpaid utility bills by squatters, signaling lawmakers’ increasing concern with squatting’s broader effects on the industry.

• Resident Protections. States like Ind. and Tenn. allow recourse for wrongful removal, balancing strong enforcement with due process.

• Further Study. Ore. and Hawaii have pending legislation to establish working groups to study squatting, representing growing awareness of the issue.

13 states—Ark., Fla., Idaho, Ind., Ky., Md., Miss (H.B. 1200, S.B. 2328), Mont., N.D., Tenn., Utah, W.Va. and

Servicing Orange County We Manage & Sell in Your Neighborhood

• Scheduled annual inspections, interior/exterior

• 99.89% consistent collection each month

Wyo. have enacted legislation this year, running the gamut of legislative trends. Texas passed more comprehensive eviction reform legislation enabling quicker removal of squatters, which was sent to Governor Abbott for signature on June 1.

Apartment Association Advocacy Led to Better Outcomes

Indiana: S.B. 157, Signed into law May 6, Effective July 1, 2025

• Affidavit-based, expedited removal process—within 48 hours—a win for providers

• Balances enforcement with wrongful removal remedy, immunity for law enforcement

Christopher Lee, Vice President of the Indiana Apartment Association (IAA) provided legislative insights to NAA: “We’ve seen squatting issues become a growing concern in other states, which was why [IAA] was proud to support legislation this session that proactively addresses potential challenges in Indiana. Senate Enrolled Act 157 established a clear and effective process for property owners to have squatters removed. We appreciate the thoughtful forward-thinking work of lawmakers throughout the session...and we’re thankful for their support in helping property owners protect their homes, their residents, and their communities.”

Utah: S.B. 55, Signed into law March 25, Effective May 7, 2025

• Alternative remedy outside eviction process for dealing with

trespassers entering/possessing a property without rights of tenancy

• Targets narrow area of property operations that may otherwise be overlooked

Paul Smith, Executive Director of the Rental Housing Association of Utah (RHA) shared gratitude for “the sponsors of the bill and law enforcement stakeholders who negotiated this remedy.” Smith pointed to several examples in which trespassers forged documents to illegally move into a rental property, noting the only previous remedy was the eviction process. He believes the law “will be very rarely used but is needed when people enter and trespass without paying and obtaining a valid rental agreement.”

Mississippi: H.B. 1200, Signed into law April 10, Effective July 1, 2025

• Expedited removal, with process initiated no more than 24 hours after affidavit filed with law enforcement

• Built-in resident protections, including hearing, penalties for false squatting complaints— balancing enforcement with due process

Meghan Elder, Association Executive at the Mississippi Apartment Association (MAA), expressed appreciation for the Legislature’s “consideration of the difficulties that some property owners face when a squatter refuses to leave.” Elder noted that “squatters, unlike holdover tenants, are not necessarily subject to eviction pursuant to the Residential Landlord Tenant Act,” pointing to some instances where squatters have done significant property damage before the owner could remove them.

She explained that the “new law fills a void by giving property owners the right to quickly initiate a squatter removal directly with law enforcement,” while maintaining appropriate protections. Looking ahead, Elder expects “it will take some time for law

enforcement across the State to develop the paperwork and other protocols to implement the new law” but notes MAA “looks forward to seeing how [it] will be enforced.”

California: Daniel Yukelson, Executive Director & CEO of the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles (AAGLA), told NAA that California’s treatment of squatter removal as a civil matter means that rental housing providers have few options for retaining control of their property. “Squatting has become a growing issue for California’s property owners who must not only bear the costs of a lengthy and expensive eviction process, but also the costs of cleanup and repair that are inevitable,” said Yukelson, adding that AAGLA is a vocal advocate for legislation that would “streamline the squatter removal process by empowering local law enforcement to address these situations,” thereby reducing harm to all parties involved.

An AAGLA-supported bill, S.B. 448, would have solved many of these issues but was held in committee, with Yukelson noting that “[SB 448] has been held over to the 2026 legislative session when we will again have an opportunity to seek the bill’s passage.”

NAA’s Outlook

Squatting continues to burden the industry and infringes on the rights of housing providers and residents alike. Fortunately, states are increasingly taking strong steps to mitigate the issue. NAA is grateful to its affiliate partners across the country for ensuring that the industry’s perspective is heard and represented in conversations about legislative solutions. At the same time, NAA is committed to ensuring that federal policy smooths the path, not hinders, housing providers’ ability to provide quality affordable housing in communities across the country.

Micro-Targeted Marketing in Multifamily Housing

In an era where personalization reigns supreme, multifamily marketers are rethinking how they engage renters, shifting their focus to interests, lifestyles and intent.

One-size-fits-all messaging no longer works. Today’s most effective campaigns speak directly to highly specific, well-understood subgroups within prospective renter pools. Welcome to the age of micro-targeted multifamily marketing.

Why Micro-Targeting Works in Multifamily

Rental living is deeply personal. For prospective renters, choosing a home isn’t just about square footage or granite countertops; it’s about lifestyle, community and convenience. Micro-targeting allows marketers to craft tailored messaging that resonate with specific personas, whether they are remote-working young professionals, active empty-nesters or pet-loving Millennials.

Instead of shouting into the void with generic apartment ads, micro-targeting helps multifamily brands whisper directly into the ears of the most likely to sign a

lease. And when done well, it delivers measurable results: Higher engagement, better conversion rates and stronger resident retention.

Step 1: Define Your Micro-Audiences

The first step in micro-targeted marketing is refining your renter personas. Go beyond surface-level demographics and focus on psychographics (i.e., lifestyle preferences, motivations and behavior patterns). Who are you really trying to reach?

Here are a few micro-demographic examples:

• Remote Workers: Value fast Wi-Fi, quiet coworking spaces, and flexible lease options.

• Pet Owners: Look for dog parks, grooming stations, and pet-friendly policies.

• Gen Z Renters: Prioritize social media presence, tech-enabled amenities, and sustainability.

• Luxury Downsizers: Seek high-end finishes, concierge services, and low-maintenance living.

• Students and Interns: Need affordability, proximity to campus, and lease flexibility.

Interview your leasing agents. Analyze your website traffic. Review resident surveys. Social listening and Google Analytics can offer a wealth of data to help build these personas.

Step 2: Segment and Customize Your Messaging

Once you’ve defined your microaudiences, tailor the messaging to match their unique priorities. The same floor-

plan might be marketed differently depending on who you’re targeting.

Let’s say you’re promoting a studio apartment:

• For a remote worker, you’d emphasize the built-in desk nook and soundproof walls.

• For a student, you’d focus on affordability, distance to campus and shared amenity spaces.

• For a digital nomad, you might highlight short-term leases, smart home tech and proximity to local hotspots.

Your email copy, ad headlines, landing pages and brochure language should flex to speak directly to each group. It’s not just about using the right channel; it’s about saying the right thing once you’re there.

Step 3: Choose Your Channels

Strategically

Not every demographic lives on the same platforms. Your content strategy should reflect this. For example:

• Instagram and TikTok are gold mines for targeting Gen Z and younger Millennials.

• LinkedIn is an underutilized platform for luxury renters or corporate relocators.

• Facebook is still strong for older audiences and families.

• Email marketing is an excellent channel for re-engaging warm leads with personalized drip campaigns.

Each platform allows for microtargeted advertising based on behaviors, interests and demographics, so use them to their full potential.

Step 4: Use Smart Tools for Smarter Targeting

Leveraging AI-powered platforms, CRM data and marketing automation tools is essential for managing micro-

targeted campaigns at scale. Whether you’re retargeting website visitors with Google Ads or segmenting prospects based on floor plan views, smart tech makes the difference between broad reach and meaningful resonance.

Tools like AMP Studio allow teams to centralize assets and campaigns, making micro-targeting efforts easier to execute and track.

Step 5: Track, Learn and Optimize

Micro-targeting isn’t a “set it and forget it” strategy. It’s an ongoing process of listening, testing, and adjusting. Monitor your KPIs closely: Are specific messages resonating more with certain groups? Are you seeing increased leadto-lease conversion among specific personas?

A/B test subject lines, call-to-actions, and images. Track engagement by audience segment. And make sure your property management software is integrated with your marketing efforts so your leasing team can see the full picture.

Data for the Marketplace

Passing the Torch

“If the USA had a FICO score…”

FICO scores are a major component of what many apartment owners, lenders and others use to gauge creditworthiness. One simple 3digit number summarizes credit rating.

But unlike the millions of consumers and businesses that receive FICOs, countries do not.

That’s regrettable in a sense because while FICOs have become a relatable metric for many Americans, we lack that kind of concise, “one stop” measuring stick to enable the average citizen to assess our nation’s creditworthiness.

Why is this important? Because the country desperately needs to come to terms with the implications of our rapidly growing debt. The reality is that the United States is in a gigantic fiscal hole dug by Congress and the White House… though let’s also recognize that we citizens—as “voter enablers”—are a party to this predicament as well.

The point of bringing FICO into the conversation is to emphasize a wish for some single, relatable piece of data that would put America’s debt issue into focus and thereby activate Americans to vociferously express their extreme disapproval of it.

Now, this is not to say that there aren’t a number of measurements that attempt to contextualize debt among the nations of the world. For example, the relationship of a country’s gross domestic product to its total national debt is one such measurement used by economists. But the difficulty with that

one and others is that they’re too wonky to be relatable for most of us. Suffice it to say that the U.S. has been losing ground to other nations in terms of creditworthiness.

The bottom line is that we now owe nearly $37 trillion in outstanding U.S. Treasury obligations. But since we can’t truly assimilate a number of that magnitude, we ignore it or look away and defer to the government. And that’s the problem. Without voters breathing down its neck, Washington will continue to kick the “debt crisis” can down the road.

U.S. debt expansion has particularly exploded in the last twenty years, more than quadrupling since 2005. The inevitable consequence of our snowballing national debt is reduced investor enthusiasm to buy and hold our Treasury securities. And, in fact, in 2025 we’ve already begun to see an ebbing of global appetite to hold our Treasury bonds and other dollar denominated assets.

In May, concerns about the nation’s debt level were spotlighted by Moody’s when it downgraded the United State credit rating, joining the other two major credit rating agencies, Standard & Poors and Fitch, who had already demoted our credit ranking.

In its downgrade, Moody’s warned that “successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs...The U.S. fiscal performance is likely to deteriorate relative to its own

past and compared to other highly rated sovereigns.”

Thus, not surprisingly, we are now experiencing upward creep in 30-year treasury bond yields as they tickle the 5% level, up from about 4.5% a year ago.

To clarify, I’m not suggesting that the United States credit standing is ready to implode tomorrow, but I am asserting that we are not as mighty as this country is, impervious to the natural rules of money, finance and mathematics. There is a finiteness about all this.

In simplest terms, lenders get nervous and raise interest rates and/or cut off credit when borrowers show no propensity to pay down debt. This maxim applies to countries just like it does to households. Yes, countries, unlike households, can print money to pay off debt, but that only leads to inflation, which devalues financial assets and doesn’t solve the underlying problem of expenditures exceeding revenues.

Ultimately, to nurse our creditworthiness back to health, we must demonstrate a national resolve to be fiscally responsible by meaningfully decreasing our annual budget deficits. This would involve spending cuts and tax increases which, unfortunately, will lead to some degree of reduced quality of life across a swath of Americans. However, it would all be very doable IF we had skilled, courageous leadership to galvanize a unified, national attitude to tackle the

Why California’s New Airbnb Tax is a Wake-Up Call for Apartment Owners

The numbers no longer pencil out like they used to. Once seen as a golden opportunity for passive income, short-term rental properties are now facing mounting pressure from every direction. The most recent hit? California Senate Bill 584 (SB 584), the Laborforce Housing Financing Act, which imposes a new 15% state tax on short-term rentals, that went into effect on January 1, 2025.

This tax applies to any stay of 30 days or less in a non-hotel setting, such as a home, condo, or room rented via shortterm platforms. The revenue will be used to fund affordable housing for low- and middle-income workers—a noble cause, perhaps, but one that comes at a steep cost to private property owners.

This new tax is on top of existing local transient occupancy taxes (TOT) and fees—many of which are already between 10% and 15%. For example, in Huntington Beach, the math is simple but sobering:

• TOT = 10%

• Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) Assessment = 4%

• Combined Local Taxes = 14%

• Add New State Tax (2025) = 15%

• Total Tax Burden on Each Stay = 29%

Now, factor in rising insurance premiums, surging utility costs, cleaning, maintenance and property management fees—and platform commissions (Airbnb and Vrbo charge hosts 14–20%), and it’s easy to see why so many short-

term rental owners are questioning whether it’s worth it anymore.

What’s Happening in the Market

This isn’t just anecdotal—the shift is backed by hard data. According to recent reports from AirDNA and Redfin, some California cities have seen 30–50% declines in active short-term rental listings. Thousands of properties are being pulled from the short-term market and either converted into long-term rentals (especially in rent control-exempt properties like single-family homes, condos, and new construction), or listed the homes for sale, thus creating new inventory in the residential market and more options for buyers.

Impacts on the Multifamily Market

So, what does this mean for the multifamily market? On one hand, the increasing supply of homes for sale could soften overall housing prices, opening a window for renters who were previously priced out of ownership. That has the potential to convert longterm tenants into first-time homebuyers, which may reduce rental demand in some markets and apply downward pressure on rents.

But on the other hand, high interest rates remain a major obstacle. Even as inventory for single family homes slightly increases, monthly mortgage payments often remain higher than comparable rents, especially for those without substantial down payments. For many, it still makes more financial sense to lease—not to mention the flexibility and lifestyle benefits of renting.

And let’s not forget the limited new construction starts due to rising construction costs and financing challenges, which continue to restrict supply, propping up rental demand and keeping multifamily performance strong.

A Resilient Asset Class in Uncertain Times

While short-term rental hosts are being taxed, regulated, and priced out, multifamily owners have—at least for now—dodged the latest round of legislative heat. For once, apartment owners aren’t being targeted as the state’s go-to piggy bank for solving the affordable housing shortage and homelessness crisis—but let’s not get too comfortable. This policy shift underscores a familiar pattern: government overreach that hits small business owners, momand-pop landlords, and real estate entrepreneurs hardest, while shielding larger corporations and hotel chains from the same burden. Sound familiar?

nation’s over-borrowing addiction. It can be done. We asked far more in the way of sacrifice from Americans during World War II and that generation delivered with nary a complaint.

Finally, my apologies to readers for the soapbox. Would have been easier done with a simple FICO score.

Quake Safety in 2025: Retrofit, Insurance, Or Both?

Insurance carriers track the pulse of California’s earthquake liabilities, just as they monitor trends in fire, flood, hurricanes, and other hazards that can cause claims to be filed for property damage, injury or death.

Warnings from seismologists that California is long overdue for a major earthquake has property owners and insurance actuaries concerned. As risks go up, so does the cost for insurance to cover those risks.

There are approximately 15 competitive insurance carriers in California, but when it comes to older buildings, that number dips sharply, particularly for buildings with five or more units under one roof.

On the other hand, carriers are beginning to encourage or require retrofits and upgrades: and sometimes reducing insurance rates for pre-1978 soft story structures that undergo an earthquake retrofit.

Insurance, retrofit, or both?

Some apartment owners struggle over whether to get earthquake insurance, a seismic retrofit, or both. Tragically, too many go with a fourth

option. They take a “do nothing” approach, essentially going bare, which puts their property, their assets, income and their tenants at extreme risk.

The California Department of Insurance offers the following guidelines to anyone considering earthquake insurance.

• Is your building located where earthquakes are common?

• Do you own a high-risk structure?

• Can you afford NOT to have earthquake insurance?

Risk of liability for loss of life or limb is another important consideration.

Thanks to the decades of scientific research being done on quantifying building performance in extreme events, credible models of risk have been developed and are being used by insurers today to price hazard insurance.

Insurance may cover a portion of your earthquake losses, but it does nothing to protect your asset, your income, or your tenants. If one them is injured or killed, you could be liable for millions of dollars in damages.

Are retrofits more cost-effective?

ably less than what an apartment owner would spend on the deductible for his or her earthquake insurance.

Retrofits also add value to a property—much like a new roof or upgraded plumbing.

Tenants appreciate living in structures that have been retrofitted for their safety, giving a property an added edge in a competitive market.

If you own an apartment you suspect may be vulnerable to damage in an earthquake, you should consider an evaluation of your building’s structural safety. Armed with knowledge of the risks you face will help you weigh the risks and options as you make informed decisions about your future.

Micro-Targeted — continued from 34 Do you know…

Apart from the high premiums associated with earthquake insurance, the deductible for most policies is around 20% of the cost to replace the building.

A retrofit, on the other hand, is much cheaper—usually only 0.3% of the replacement cost of the building.

That means retrofits cost consider-

Final Thoughts: Don’t Just Target — Connect

The real magic of micro-targeted marketing isn’t just in hitting the right inbox or newsfeed. It’s in making someone feel seen.

When your prospective resident opens an ad and sees a photo of a dog park—just like the one they wish they had for their corgi—you’re not just selling a space. You’re selling belonging.

And in multifamily, that’s the most powerful message of all.
