“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Every year I look forward to attending AAOC’s “Rental Housing Show,” taking place this year on Thursday April 3, 2025, at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa. Starting in the early 1980s, my father, Frank Tomlinson, pushed me to continuously not only seek out innovation at the show but also ways for our family to more efficiently serve our tenants. I am proud that our very own show is still the place to satisfy both of those needs.
Back in those days, the show spanned two days at the Anaheim Convention Center and was AAOC’s marquee event of the year. This year’s show will certainly not disappoint, and it will certainly carry on the tradition of excellence, with close to 125 exhibitors and a packed schedule of free seminars, live maintenance demonstrations, and more.
This year’s five educational seminars include:
• Navigating Rent Increases, Animals, Evictions & Relocation Assistance
• Managing Your Managers in a Mad, Mad World
• 2025 Legal Update
• Tools & Strategies for Combating Rental Fraud; and
• Fair Housing in 45 Minutes.
As I write this message, I fondly remember taking my fellow law school classmates to the legal seminars to give them the latest information on the hottest topics in Landlord/Tenant Law. Things have grown more complex and riskier for our industry when it comes to legal compliance and litigation matters. If nothing else, be sure to attend at least one of our two legal seminars at the show.
I have also taken a keen interest in recent years in our live maintenance demonstrations. Under the leadership of my board colleague Frank Alvarez (Buffalo Maintenance) and our education and events coordinator, Sandy Gimpelson, this year’s demonstrations will include:
• Plumbing & Drain Care
• Flooring: Picking the Right Material & Installing it Right
• Decking: Coating Systems, Repairs; and
• SB 721 and Irrigation Systems & Landscape Installation and Maintenance
Finally, as I like spending as much of my day as possible at the show, if you happen to see me or any of my fellow AAOC board members in the exhibition hall or the seminar room, please be sure to introduce yourself and share your thoughts on what you’re finding of value as an AAOC member, as well as areas where you feel the association can better support you.
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to register online for The Rental Housing Show at www.aaoc.com/ rental-housing-show-2025.

As of the writing of this article, another thousand or so bills are anticipated to be introduced by the members of the California Legislature prior to the February 21 bill introduction deadline. While we wait to see how many bills will pose threats to the rental housing industry, we thought we would provide a preview of two of the bills that have already been introduced.
Security deposits are clearly under attack—again—and by the same legislator who successfully passed a bill last year on the same subject.
Assembly Member Pellerin (D-Santa Cruz) wants to change the way security deposits are to be returned to former tenants.
Current law regulates the terms and conditions of residential tenancies, including setting the terms of the amount of security to one month’s rent for new tenancies. This allows a lessor to claim of the security only those
amounts as are reasonably necessary. Security for these purposes is defined as any payment, fee, deposit, or charge, including any payment, fee, deposit or charge that is imposed at a tenancy’s beginning to reimburse a lessor for costs associated with processing a new tenant or that is imposed as an advance payment of rent. The law also requires a lessor to provide the lessee with a copy of an itemized statement and return the security’s remaining portion to the lessee by personal delivery or by first-class mail, postage prepaid no later than 21 calendar days after the lessee has vacated the premises. Finally, the law authorizes a lessor and lessee to mutually agree to have the lessor deposit electronically the security’s remaining portion to a bank account or other financial institution designated by the lessee or provide a copy of the itemized statement to an email account that is provided by the lessee.
As introduced, AB 414 (Pellerin) would instead require a lessor to provide the lessee a copy of the itemized statement and return the security’s remaining portion in the manner the security was received or requested by the tenant for the return of the security’s remaining portion. If returning the security’s remaining portion by mail, the bill would require the lessor to return the security’s remaining portion and provide a copy of the itemized statement by certified mail. If returning the security’s remaining portion by electronic funds transfer, the bill would require the lessor to deposit the security’s remining portion to a bank account or other financial institution designated by the lessee and provide a copy of the itemized statement to an email account provided by the lessee. If the lessor received the security by electronic funds

transfer, the bill would require the lessor to return the security’s remaining portion by electronic funds transfer and provide the lessee the copy of the itemized statement pursuant to the terms of this bill upon the lessee’s request.
Do you see any issues with the convoluted proposed new law relating to returning the security deposit (if any)? Well, our association sure does! There is no dispute we must account for the lawful deduction of the deposit. There is no dispute we are to strictly follow the time deadlines and the amount of security. The issue for the Assemblymember is how we are to send the remaining amount of security (if any) and how we are to send our statement justifying lawful deductions. Pursuant to the terms of the bill, a lessee can change at will where we are to send our statement and the remaining security. What can come of this? Bad faith claims and litigation.
The second bill is SB 52 (Perez) which addresses rental rates and occupancy levels by prohibiting lessors from using algorithmic devices.
Existing law generally governs notices and the amount of increasing residential rent. The Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act prescribes statewide limits on the application of local rent control on specified residential rental properties. That act authorizes a lessor to establish the initial and all subsequent rental rates for a dwelling or unit that meets certain criteria.
SB 52 would make it unlawful for any person to sell, license, or otherwise provide residential rental property owners an algorithmic device that advises on rental rates or occupancy levels for residential dwelling units. It would also make it unlawful for a lessor to use an algorithmic device to set rental rates or occupancy levels for residential dwellings. The state attorney general, and the city attorney or county counsel in
the jurisdiction in which the rental unit is located would be authorized to file a civil action for a violation of the bill and it would authorize any lessee to file a civil action for any violation of the terms of the bill.
Numerous businesses would no longer operate. Advice, guidance, surveys, and training regarding rental rates in communities would come to a screeching halt. Use of credit scoring and credit reporting would remarkably change should SB 52 become law. Use of Fair Credit Reporting Act data would come under scrutiny. Use of anti-discrimination laws would become intertwined in the provisions of this legislative measure.
Just when you thought you were safe treating your lessees equitably and fairly, two measures that have been introduced in the legislature will undoubtably challenge ownership and management of residential rental units in our state.

I hope to see you at The Rental Housing Show on Thursday, April 3rd at the OC Fair & Event Center.
Yours very sincerely and truly,

In the state of California, property management professionals face a growing challenge in navigating price gouging regulations during periods of declared states of emergency. These laws, designed to protect consumers in times of crisis, have serious implications for landlords in multifamily housing, particularly when rent adjustments, repairs, and maintenance costs can quickly be scrutinized by local and state authorities.
In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the latest state mandates, explore how property management teams can stay compliant, and offer practical guidance on preventing the common pricing practices that lead to scrutiny by county district attorneys and the California State Attorney General.
California’s price gouging law, under California Penal Code § 396, prohibits property owners, managers, and sellers from increasing rental prices or other essential goods and services by more than 10% during a state of emergency. While originally intended to curb the practices of profiteering during natural disasters such as wildfires or earthquakes, the law also applies to economic and public health emergencies. Notably, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a significant expansion in enforcement, making this legislation an ever-present concern for property managers. Those relaxed standards and expanded enforcement have allowed
even greater controls to be implemented as a result of declared states of emergency, and we now have to be extra vigilant in watching how these standards are applied.
Under the law, price gouging is defined as the act of charging exorbitant prices for goods or services that are essential during an emergency. If a state of emergency is declared by the governor, this cap applies to rent increases for multifamily properties. Additionally, counties and cities have followed suit to expand similar restrictions – regardless of whether they are in the affected areas.
Recently we have seen the County of Los Angeles, the city of Los Angeles, and other cities within Los Angeles County declare eviction moratoriums, rent freezes, and other tenant protections despite being 20–30 or more miles away from the affected areas. There is no limit established by the state to corral these expanded powers—but there are things that can be done to protect your business practices from these overreaches.
• The 10% limit applies to rent increases above the price charged immediately before the declaration of the emergency. This applies to properties that would ordinarily be exempt under AB 1482.
• Temporary price increases, such as for rent-controlled properties or
for short-term lease renewals, also fall under the same scrutiny.
• Property managers must adhere to these laws during the entirety of the declared emergency and beyond, depending on local and state ordinances.
1. Rent Increases Exceeding 10% Property owners and managers should be aware that even minor rent increases during a state of emergency can be flagged if they exceed the 10% cap. Common practices that inadvertently trigger scrutiny from district attorneys and the state Attorney General include:
• Raising rents on existing tenants without proper justification or notification.
• Implementing renewal fees that push rental costs above the 10% threshold.
• Increasing rents on vacant units at a rate that exceeds what is permitted under the law.
It’s important to remember that price gouging allegations can also apply to other services related to multifamily housing, such as parking fees, utility charges, or any ancillary services tied to the rental property.
Many California cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland, have local rent control laws that further restrict rent increases even outside of emergencies. Santa Ana, in Orange County, is the one city that is most likely to pursue such policies. Combining rent control laws with the state price gouging law can lead to double jeopardy if landlords do not follow both sets of regulations. Violating rent control ordinances during a declared state of emergency can expose property managers to legal action and fines from local authorities.
During emergencies, certain property management practices such as repair charges or service fees may be scrutinized. For example, if a landlord increases the cost for common area maintenance or tenant repairs during an emergency without offering a legitimate explanation or market comparison, this could be seen as price gouging. To mitigate risks, property managers should maintain clear and detailed records of these fees and ensure they align with normal market rates, even in a crisis.
While this is more common in commercial properties, it has also been the subject of proposals not only for residential properties—but for commercial buildings as well.
1.
When increasing rents, especially during a declared state of emergency, landlords must provide clear and compliant documentation. Ensure that any rent increases are justified by market conditions, prior pricing history, or necessary repairs, and that they do not exceed 10% of the rent that was charged before the emergency.
Actionable Tip: When rent increases
are necessary—or if you are bringing a vacant unit to market—issue formal notices in compliance with local ordinances and avoid making rent adjustments until after carefully reviewing the applicable state and local regulations.
Rental property owners and managers operating in rent-controlled areas should always confirm the local rent control laws before considering any rent increase. Some cities have stricter guidelines than the state laws and may impose further restrictions on what constitutes an acceptable rent increase. With frequent updates and advisories from tenant rights groups, staying updated is crucial.
Actionable Tip: Set up a regular review process with legal counsel to ensure that rent increases are in line with both state and local ordinances. If you do not work with dedicated legal counsel, reach out to AAOC for referrals.
By now you should have a very comprehensive documentation process for all expenses on your rental property. Make sure you also track all service fees, maintenance charges, and repair-related costs to demonstrate they align with prevailing market rates, especially during times of declared states of emergency. This documentation will help mitigate claims of price gouging in the event of an audit or investigation by the district attorney or state Attorney General.
Actionable Tip: Collect and maintain market-based pricing data for all maintenance and service-related costs, then compare with your quotes to ensure and demonstrate that your costs and charges are within the normal range for your area.
Ensure all staff are well-versed in the laws surrounding price gouging and the importance of compliance with emergency pricing regulations. This can help prevent inadvertent mistakes in pricing
that could lead to costly legal battles.
Actionable Tip: Host regular training and workshops for your property management team on price gouging laws and local ordinances to keep everyone informed. AAOC is also preparing both forms and webinars to keep you and your clients up to date on these processes.
While landlords have every right to make reasonable adjustments to their rents or service charges, doing so without understanding the full scope of California’s price gouging laws can result in steep penalties. In extreme cases, violations may even result in criminal charges, as well as civil liability—in California that is up to $10,000 per instance, and in some jurisdictions can lead to jail time. This is why proactive compliance is vital. By staying informed, adopting careful pricing practices, and relying on sound legal guidance, property managers can protect their bottom line without risking their reputation or incurring hefty fines.
As this area of law continues to evolve, maintaining transparency and fairness in pricing will be your best defense against scrutiny and allegations of price gouging during times of emergency. Make sure to regularly review your pricing strategies, track any adjustments, and stay engaged with AAOC’s staff—as well as legal advisors—to avoid the pitfalls that many property owners and managers have faced.
If you have questions or concerns, it is highly recommended that you consult with AAOC or your legal counsel to ensure that your pricing practices align with both California state law and local regulations—protecting your business and the tenants who rely on you.
By addressing these key concerns and providing actionable steps, property owners and managers can better navigate California’s complex emergency pricing regulations and safeguard their operations against costly mistakes.
I had an applicant apply for a vacancy I have in Huntington Beach. A preliminary review of the application looked pretty good, so I decided to give her a call. During the call I asked her why she is leaving her current apartment and she told me she is a victim of domestic violence and, even though she got a restraining order against her live-in boyfriend, she feels safer moving to a new city to get away from him. I appreciate the honesty, but when I contacted her current management company, they told me that she left without giving them any advance notice. While I really feel for the young lady, I have a quiet building, and I’d prefer to avoid any drama that might pop up should her boyfriend find out where she moved to. Can I simply tell her I’m still accepting applications and hope she finds another place?
Well, it’s not that easy. Beginning January 1, 2025, landlords are prohibited from taking “adverse actions” against applicants for calling the police or emergency assistance, requesting to have the locks changed, or breaching the lease as a result of being a victim of domestic violence. Violations of the statute will lead to liability for a landlord and/or their agents, (managers). The only way to legitimately deny her application and avoid an allegation that you denied her because of her admission about the domestic violence situation would be a failure on her part to meet one of your objective screening criteria.
A tenant of mine just gave me her 30-day notice that they are moving back to the east coast to be closer to her parents. She’s kept the apartment pretty clean over the years, so I don’t anticipate taking much out of her deposit. Maybe some cleaning fees. When I mentioned that to her, she told me that she expects her entire deposit back because, according to her, I am no longer permitted to charge her security deposit for cleaning fees unless they are reasonably necessary to return the property to the condition it was in when I leased it to her a couple years ago. Is that correct? Am I no longer permitted to charge tenants a cleaning fee?
To say you are prohibited from charging a tenant’s security deposit for cleaning fees would be inaccurate. However, the laws surrounding security deposits changed recently and there are some new requirements you will have to meet. Specifically, the law now limits permissible claims against the tenant and/or their security deposit to only those cleaning services and repairs that are “reasonably necessary” to restore the unit to the same condition it was in when it was given to the tenant, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear. Those “reasonably necessary” limitations apply to the labor provided by the landlord, their employee, contractor, or professional carpet cleaner, as well as the materials and/or supplies used.
Additionally, landlords are required to take three separate sets of pictures to establish the condition of the rental unit:
1) at the inception of the tenancy; 2) after the unit has been vacated (but prior to repairs being made); and 3) after any repairs and/or maintenance has been completed. While there are a couple of upcoming trigger dates that must pass before the law goes into full effect, it makes sense to simply implement the new procedures right away, as the dates are only a couple months away.
The itemized deductions and security deposit accounting are still required to be completed and sent to the former tenant within 21 days. However, you must now include the photos as well as a written explanation of the costs for repairs or cleaning. The new law allows the parties to agree in writing (after the termination of tenancy) that the accounting may be sent by email. In other words, after the tenancy is terminated, you and your tenant can agree in writing to allow you to send both the itemized accounting and pictures to the tenant via email within 21 days. The bottom line is this: in order to legally charge your tenant for cleaning and/or repairs to the unit after they vacate, you will need to establish the cleaning and/or repairs were reasonably necessary to put the unit back in the condition it was in when you leased it to them, and the way to do that is through the pictures you are now required to take.
Our family trust owns an ‘80s built duplex in Fullerton. My son intends to attend the local university near the building and we
are hoping he can live in one of the units while attending college. With all the new laws over the past four or five years, we are wondering whether we are still allowed to terminate one of the tenancies in order for him to live at the property?
The short answer is yes. Fullerton has no rent control or just cause ordinances of its own, so your property falls under the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (TPA). The TPA provides that a landlord (including the beneficiary of a trust) may terminate a tenancy for owner occupancy, provided the individual who will be occupying the property moves in within 90 days of the prior tenant vacating, and lives in the unit for a minimum of 12 consecutive months as their primary residence. There are specific notice requirements (e.g., you will have to provide your son’s name in the termination notice as the individual who will be occupying the unit) and you will be required to either waive the tenant’s last month of rent or pay them that sum directly as “relocation assistance.”
Our long-term tenant just gave us a 30-day notice terminating their month-to-month tenancy as of the 20th of the next month. The terms of their rental agreement state the rent is due in advance on the first of the month. In light of that, am I permitted to charge them the entire amount of rent for next month, even if they move out on the 20th like they have told us they will do?
Since your tenants are on a month-tomonth tenancy, they can terminate it simply by serving a 30-day notice at any time, even if it ends in the middle of the month. So, while they are responsible for the rent up to the date on which the 30-day notice expires, they are not responsible for any rent beyond the expiration of the notice.

Dear Maintenance Men:
I have installed vinyl floor squares several times, but I can’t seem to get it square with the walls. It always looks like the tiles and the walls are not square. Do you have a procedure on how to start the first tile straight and end up with a square-looking job? Noah
Dear Noah:
Complete all your floor prep work; be sure the surface is clean, dry, and free
from dust and debris. Measure the length and width of the floor; divide each measurement by two and mark the floor at the intersecting lines. Snap a chalk line along the length and width of the floor, using the previous measurements. This will produce a cross, dividing the floor into quadrants. Now, check your chalk line for squareness using a carpenter’s square at the intersection of the two lines. There is a chance the walls are not square. If this is the case, take several measurements to ensure the chalk line is truly square to the walls. Next, dry-fit your tile in both directions to determine your run. Keep the following in mind: adjust your chalk reference lines to allow for full tiles at high-traffic tile termination points such as dining room to kitchen, hallway to bathroom, etc. Ideally, you will want to use no less than one-half of a tile at any wall or termination point. Start your first tile at the cross-section of the two chalk lines. This will allow you to use two perpendicular straight lines to align your first
tile. Follow each chalk line, putting down the tile until you have formed a cross dividing the floor into quadrants. Continue gluing down your tile in each quadrant by going down one axis and across the other.
I am planning for my apartment building’s spring cleaning this year and considering installing ceiling fans in my units. Come summertime, this should help my residents stay cool and save energy at the same time. Is this a good plan? Gary
We love ceiling fans and encourage their use. Most people feel cooler with a fan moving the air, but that increased comfort doesn’t always result in lowering the air-conditioning thermostat. We don’t believe the fans will lower the temperature of a warm apartment significantly, but it still feels good sitting under that spinning fan. Given a choice, a potential resident will most likely choose a unit with a ceiling fan. If you want to lower utility bills and cool the units at the same time, install a powered, temperature-controlled attic fan and/or attic insulation. Insulation alone will have a dramatic effect, and often utility companies or cities have programs to provide and install the insulation at little or no cost to the owner.
Dear Maintenance Men:
I am having trouble with a 40-gallon water heater in my building’s laundry room. The pilot will not stay lit, or if I do light the pilot, it will go out after the first water-heating cycle. Is the problem with the thermocouple and if it is, how do I repair it? Jose
Dear Jose:
When water heaters will not stay lit, or will not cycle on-and-off properly, it is usually the fault of the thermocouple. The thermocouple is a safety device that, when it senses the pilot flame is out, shuts off the gas supply to the water heater. In your case, the thermocouple itself may have failed which will trigger the built-in failsafe and shut off the gas supply. Thermocouples are simple devices that are easy to replace. However, if you are not comfortable working on a gas appliance, please contact a plumber or an appliance repair professional.
To replace the thermocouple, first turn off the gas leading to the heater and let the firebox cool down for 15–20 minutes before starting work. The thermocouple is located in the firebox next to, or alongside, the pilot assembly. It will be either silver or copper colored and look like a small pencil with a copper tube or wire attached. Unscrew the bracket and slide the thermocouple out of the holder. Now, follow the copper tube or wire to the control valve. Use a small wrench to remove the nut holding the tube in place; remove the thermocouple wire from the control valve. Take the thermocouple to your local hardware or plumbing store and ask for a replacement. It should cost less than $10 or $15. To install, just reverse the disassembly procedure. Turn on the gas and follow the lighting instructions on the water heater.
Use WD-40 to remove stickers from most non-porous surfaces. Thoroughly soak the sticker and carefully scrape off using a plastic putty knife.

Recently, a friend and first-time landlord asked me what I thought was the most important thing about property management. My answer, though simple, will help keep your residents happy, minimize risk and likely save you money in the long run. What is it, you ask? Simple: respond quickly and respond completely to all maintenance requests and resident issues. Doing things right, on time and in time will help you avoid a number of headaches and operational issues.
Most problems that I come across in the apartment business stem from a slow, incomplete or incorrect response to a resident request or need. Whether we are talking about parking space requests, mold exposure, a small leak or other, your ability to quickly assess the issue, communicate updates to your tenants and work with the proper third-party vendor to solve the problem can help you do it for less and keep you out of the courtroom. All too often, people wait or delay, thinking that a few days or a week won’t hurt. In the meantime, leaks cause damage, moisture leads to mildew and mold and residents grow angry.
As an expert witness, I am sometimes called to review and opine on how an owner or manager handled a situation, specifically weighing in on the standard of care provided. You don’t have to be an attorney to understand that “I didn’t know” is not a defense that you can hang your hat on. In 2025, if you do not know what you are doing, you should not be managing your own property. If
you do self-manage, remember the following: respond quickly to resident concerns—inspect issues, take photos and document issues, respond in writing with a summary assessment of facts and conditions at that time so that you have proper documentation in your resident files and have outlined the pertinent facts while they are still fresh in your mind. If you have a management company managing your properties for you, make sure that they are doing these things on your behalf. And if you have doubts about whether they are properly handling property matters, ask for an update. If their response doesn’t seem right, never hesitate to visit the property and see for yourself.
When talking to vendors or other owners, I am often reminded of the propensity for people to step on dollars to save dimes. Disregarding the fact that you are working on a multi-milliondollar asset and making the cheap repair for $500 (that is more likely to fail, than last for two months) instead of just replacing it and permanently solving the problem for $2,000. In three months, when you confront the issue, you will not only have an angry resident, but it will have now cost you $2,500 when considering the prior expense. While these dollar amounts are on the lower side, they scale up right along with the mindset. You can be budget-minded and still make the right choices, always remember that.
Times have changed. Our legislature now leans anti-business and anti-
property rights, and our court system is not much different. People who have never invested, owned property or operated a business are often making the rules that we have to follow. So, don’t just do it – do it quickly and do it right. Believe me, the often de minimis cost difference in doing something right the first time pales in comparison to the legal fees and costs to fix a situation that has spiraled out of control.

This week’s topic in our 10-week Estate and Legacy Planning course deals with one of life’s two certainties. Much like death, taxes also come for us all. This series is designed to be engaging and practical, providing comprehensive insights while equipping our course participants with a solid framework for their estate plans and actionable steps for themselves and their advisors.
In this article, we’ll focus on Week 7: Taxes. We covered various aspects of taxation, including income, estate, and other forms, alongside upcoming tax legislation updates, proactive year-end tax planning for 2024, and strategies for minimizing estate taxes. Our goal is to explore creative, legal ways to “disinherit the government” while maximizing the legacy you leave behind.
We all know the outcome of the 2024 election, and as the saying goes, “elections have consequences.” We are still in the early days of a new administration, and the reality is that we won’t likely know the impact of any new tax legislation for some time. Our focus remains on the current rules and the known implications of the impending sunsetting of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), landmark legislation that became law on January 1, 2018. The TCJA marked the most significant overhaul of the tax code in three decades, establishing a flat corporate tax rate of 21%. However, many individual tax benefits are set to expire in 2025.
Even before the TCJA, careful estate planning techniques were successfully used to secure and transfer wealth across generations. Regardless of any changes on the horizon, these strategies can be navigated effectively with proper preparation and by hiring the right professionals.
As we discussed, there are always key issues that could threaten wealth transfer, such as changes to the 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange, Proposition 13, and Step-Up in Basis. However, for the purposes of this article, we’ll maintain a positive outlook and focus on what we know right now, along with legal strategies to lower our taxes.
Joining us for this session was Yuval Domb, CPA, who helped clarify some of the more technical aspects of the tax code. Understanding the different types of taxes and how they interact with one another and your long-term strategy is
BY TIM GORMAN, REAL ESTATE BROKER/ CPA/ENTREPRENEUR/ AUTHOR
crucial.
During our session, Yuval clarified the technical aspects of the tax code. We discussed several key tax categories:
• Income Taxes: Federal income tax rates range from 0% to 37%, while California has a top rate of 13.3% for high-income earners.
• Property Taxes: Proposition 13 caps property tax at 1% of assessed value, with annual increases limited to 2% unless reassessed. Proposition 19 limits the parent-to-child property tax exclusion to primary residences.
• Estate Taxes: The federal exemption is $13.61 million per individual for 2024. California has no state estate tax, but federal estate taxes apply if the estate exceeds the exemption limit.
• Capital Gains Taxes: Long-term capital gains are taxed federally at 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income, with California taxing all capital gains as ordinary income.
• Final Taxes: After passing, executors must file several tax returns, including the Final Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040), Estate Income Tax Return (Form 1041), and Federal Estate Tax Return (Form 706), if applicable.

We explored strategies for minimizing estate taxes, including:
• Lifetime Gifting: Reduces income and gift taxes while removing assets from your estate, potentially avoiding estate taxes.
• Irrevocable Trusts: Provides income tax advantages by removing incomegenerating assets from your estate.
• Charitable Giving: Yields immediate income tax deductions and reduces the size of your taxable estate.
• Life Insurance Strategies: Provides income tax-free proceeds for estate taxes upon death.
• Marital Deduction: Allows unlimited tax-free transfers to a spouse during your lifetime and at death.
• Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs): Transfers assets at
discounted valuations while maintaining control.
• LLCs and Corporate Entities: Provides asset protection and may reduce income taxes.
• Property Tax Protection (Prop 19): Limits reassessment on primary residences between parents and children.
We also discussed how personal income taxes can impact estate planning decisions. Income generated by estate assets, such as interest and dividends, may incur tax liabilities. Structuring your estate strategically can reduce these liabilities for you and your heirs.
Additionally, charitable contributions made through your estate can provide significant tax benefits, such as deductions for donated appreciated assets. Establishing mechanisms like a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) can also yield income tax and estate tax advantages.
To conclude, we examined tax obligations that arise after passing. Executors must file a final income tax return (Form 1040) covering the period from January 1 until the date of death. The federal estate tax applies to the transfer of the deceased’s estate before distribution to beneficiaries if the estate exceeds the exemption threshold. Executors must file Form 706 for estates subject to federal estate tax within nine months of death.
In our next article, we’ll focus on the often-overlooked emotional aspects of planning. In my experience, legal and financial aspects can be straightforward, but navigating the emotional side of losing a loved one can be far more complex.

This legislative session, state lawmakers are continuing efforts to regulate rent increases at the state and local levels. This legislation purports to help renters, but in actuality, it disincentivizes investment, restricts and degrades the quality of housing supply and raises the cost of housing. The National Apartment Association (NAA) is monitoring this legislation carefully to understand trends across the country and how they might affect the rental housing industry.
Washington State’s proposal (HB1217/SB5222) to cap rent increases at 7% has returned. The measure, which failed last year, was given a hearing on the first day of Washington’s legislative session, suggesting renewed energy behind the push to adopt rent regulation.
In addition to limiting rent increases to 7% per year, the bill imposes other onerous requirements on housing providers. Notably, security deposits and late fees would also be capped, and housing providers would be required to provide residents with 180 days notice prior to
increasing rents by 3% or more—a length of time that is out of step with other jurisdictions.
Several rent control proposals were introduced in Illinois prior to the state’s filing deadline in February, including SB 1260 and HB 3687, which would allow localities to impose rent regulation on housing providers. SB 1260 repeals the Rent Control Preemption Act, while HB 3687 includes, in addition to other restrictive provisions imposed on housing providers, language that would allow local governments to hold a referendum vote to end the prohibition on local rent control, effectively enabling localities in Illinois to opt in to rent regulation.
“Despite overwhelming evidence that rent control only worsens the housing affordability situation, proponents in the General Assembly continue to pursue this failed playbook,” said Michael Mini, EVP of the Chicagoland Apartment Association (CAA). “CAA is leading the opposition to rent control here in Illinois by con-
tinuing the execution our SHAPE Illinois advocacy campaign, working with our coalition partners in the business and labor communities to educate elected officials about the destructive effects of rent control and offer alternative policies to create more apartments and keep rents affordable.”
Illinois lawmakers have also proposed to cap rents in mobile home parks. HB 3526 would cap rents at 3%, while HB 3828 would require housing providers to justify rent increases greater than 3% or inflation, whichever is greater.
Washington is not the only state to consider capping rents statewide. Bills pending in Hawaii (SB1056), Indiana (HB1162), Massachusetts (HD495) and South Carolina (H3346) would similarly cap rent increases at certain percentages. A number of states— including Connecticut (HB5428, SB991) , Massachusetts (HD551) , Nevada (SB151), New Jersey (A3361,
As an apartment owner, protecting your property and residents from the devastating effects of a major earthquake is a top priority. A well-executed seismic retrofit not only enhances safety but also safeguards your investment and future income. However, the success of your retrofit project depends largely on selecting the right company for the job.
The seismic retrofit process involves both engineering and construction expertise. To ensure high-quality work, it is crucial to partner with an experienced and reputable company. Here are essential questions to ask when evaluating potential contractors:
• Are they properly licensed and insured?
• How many years have they been in business?
• Do they specialize in seismic retrofits, and how many similar projects have they completed?
• What do past clients say about their work?
• Do they have a stable and experienced workforce?
• How well do they communicate and address concerns?
The first step in a seismic retrofit is
a thorough engineering assessment to evaluate risks specific to your property. Factors such as building type, construction year, soil conditions, and liquefaction risks all play a role in determining the necessary structural improvements. An initial assessment can provide insight into the scope of work required before committing to a contractor.
Once you’ve determined that a retrofit is needed, it’s time to research and select the best contractor for the job.
Check the legitimacy of your contractor through official databases:
• California Contractors State License Board: www.cslb.ca.gov
• California Architects Board: www.cab.ca.gov
• State Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists: www.bpelsg.ca.gov
Ensure the company holds proper licensing and has adequate liability and worker’s compensation insurance. This protects you from potential legal and financial liabilities if an accident occurs on the job site.
A reputable contractor should have a proven track record with multiple successful retrofit projects. When evaluating past work, consider:
BY ALI SAHABI
• The number of completed projects within the past year.
• Client testimonials and feedback from other apartment owners.
• Site visits to inspect the quality of completed projects, including structural work and aesthetic integration.
Additionally, assess the contractor’s ability to manage tenant relations. Ask references:
• Were tenants displaced during construction?
• Was parking availability impacted?
• Was the worksite kept clean and safe?
Never assume a contractor has adequate insurance. Always request documentation. Ensure:
• Worker’s compensation insurance is active and covers all employees.
• General liability insurance specifically covers seismic retrofit work.
To verify a contractor’s worker’s compensation status, visit the CSLB website, search for the business name, and review their insurance history. If their status is marked as “exempt,” it could mean they have no employees
Summertime brings an abundance of sunshine, an increase in watering, community gatherings, and the inevitable presence of mosquitos.

S2953), New York (S228), Oregon (HB3054), Rhode Island (HB5264) and Vermont (S34)—are also considering capping rents specifically in relation to manufactured and mobile homes.
Certain states are considering bills that would enable rent control at the local level. Proposals in Arizona (SB1177/HB2337), Georgia (HB299/ SB106), Illinois (SB1260), Michigan
(HB4009) and New Mexico (SB216) would repeal state statutes preempting local rent control. Others, such as those in Hawaii (SB1133), Massachusetts (e.g., SD2499, HD2363, HD2501, SD1084), New York (A4877/S4659), Oregon (SB722/HB3065), and Tennessee (HB955/SB961) would authorize or have the effect of encouraging localities to adopt rent control ordinances. (Similar bills were introduced in Virginia (HB2175/SB366, SB1136), but those proposals have failed.) In some cases, these bills limit the rent
increases that a locality opting into rent control could allow.
This crop of rent control legislation reflects the misconception that regulating rents will improve the cost of living for renters. However, research shows that rent control does more harm than good: Caps on rent increases fail to account for increasing operational costs for housing providers and the need to plan for capital expenditures throughout the property’s useful life. This ultimately impacts both the quality and quantity of rental housing in communities across the U.S. To address rising costs of living, it is imperative for lawmakers to confront the regulatory barriers that raise costs for housing providers and constrain housing supply. NAA will continue to its federal advocacy and support its affiliate partners in their tireless efforts against all forms of rent control.

The recent fires in the Palisades and Altadena serve as a stark reminder of how quickly disaster can strike, leaving tenants displaced and housing providers facing unnecessary risks. A well-written lease includes terms requiring tenants to carry renter’s insurance to help mitigate these risks. If your lease doesn’t have this, you may want to consider incentivizing tenants to obtain renter’s insurance by allowing them to deduct the cost from their rent.
Without this coverage, you could be exposing yourself to financial and legal complications that are easily avoidable.
Renter’s insurance is typically under $250 per year and can provide significant financial security. In addition to covering a tenant’s personal belongings, it may also reduce your own insurance premiums. It’s worth checking with your insurance provider to see if sub-

mitting proof that your tenants have renter’s insurance can lower your costs. I’ve seen many instances where it does.
• Personal Property—If a tenant’s belongings (TVs, computers, clothing, etc.) are damaged due to fire, theft, vandalism, or water, their policy will likely reimburse

them for the loss.
• Liability Protection—While a housing provider’s policy may cover claims for injuries that occur on the property, renter’s insurance protects tenants from liability for accidental damage or injury they may cause. Standard coverage typically includes $100,000 in protection, but some policies can go as high as $1M in liability protection.
• Loss of Use—If a covered disaster forces a tenant to relocate temporarily, their policy should cover hotel stays and meals while the property is being repaired.
There are additional renter’s insur ance policies for tenants that go beyond the basics, offering more comprehen
sive coverage that can benefit both tenants and give you peace of mind. Here are some of the extra protections these policies can provide.
• Medical Payments to Others Covers minor medical expenses if someone is injured in the tenant’s unit, even if the tenant isn’t at fault.
• Identity Theft Protection—Some policies include identity theft coverage, which can help with expenses related to fraud, credit monitoring, and legal fees.
• Pet Liability Coverage—If a tenant’s pet injures someone or damages property, this coverage helps

Not all renter’s insurance policies are created equal—some offer far better coverage than others. A little time spent researching the different options on the front end can save you from potential headaches later. Having explored the options thoroughly, I can assure you that the right coverage can make all the difference in protecting your property and your peace of mind.

For real estate investors involved in 1031 exchanges, identifying suitable replacement properties can be a huge challenge. As one of the nation’s leading 1031 exchange real estate investment advisors, I became acutely aware of this challenge early on in my career—more than two decades ago. Whether it was very large institutional real estate firms needing to replace tens of millions of dollars in 1031 exchange assets or smaller, momand-pop owners, investors are interested in a 1031 exchange, but they don’t know what the best investment options are for their 1031 exchange strategy.
That’s why I created a unique, online marketplace that is specifically designed for 1031 exchange investors by providing a wide range of Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment opportunities from more than 25 different sponsor firms, located across multiple asset classes and geographic regions, and offering a wide variety of loan-to-value ratios for 1031 exchange debt-replacement requirements.
A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal entity used for investment purposes, especially popular in real estate because the IRS Revenue Ruling 200486 approved DSTs for 1031 exchanges and qualified DSTs as “like kind” real estate for 1031 exchanges.
This marketplace is based on my personal experience in investing my own money in Delaware Statutory Trust properties. It doesn’t seem like that long ago, but back in 2008 I invested in
my very first Delaware Statutory Trust property. The particular sponsor waived the minimum $25,000 investment down to $1,000 because that is all I could afford. But it was important for me to become very familiar with DST properties, interact with the offering sponsor firms, and invest my own money alongside my investors. In many ways for me it was like being a chef that was not afraid to eat their own cooking.
Fast forward to today, and I have personally invested in more than 90 different DST properties and have worked with nearly 50 different sponsor companies. That’s why I can honestly say that I know what these sponsor firms have done in the past, what they’re good at, what they’re not so good at, and how they have performed across a variety of asset classes.
Frankly, I don’t know of anyone who has invested more in Delaware Statutory Trust properties than me, and I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with investors of all sizes.
This unique online marketplace offers an accessible platform for 1031 exchange investors who can review a variety of DST investment opportunities in one place and can receive a physical property menu of current 1031 exchange eligible properties on this platform.
Once investors receive DST Property Menu and narrowed down their selection of DST investment opportunities,

investors can access each property’s business plan as presented in Private Placement Memorandums for each of the DST investment opportunities they are interested in. A private placement memorandum (PPM) is a legal document that can typically run more than 100 pages in length and provides a detailed summary of the offering that should include information on risk factors, financing terms, property and market information, sponsor background, and financial information. The PPM includes exhibits might also include other important documents such as the DST trust agreement, subscription agreements, lease agreements, and other relative information.
However, in addition to accessing a current inventory of DST properties, this platform also provides a great deal of educational information for investors. This includes access to educational periodicals, webinars, conference calls, podcasts, and investor dinners held across the country.
For 1031 exchange investors who are looking for quality 1031 exchange properties, this online marketplace is a unique opportunity to not only review a wide variety of real estate assets, but also a way to access an entire library of educational material specifically designed for 1031 exchange investors

Managing Your Managers in a Mad, Mad World: Strategies to Keep Managers Engaged and Motivated
