An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Recovery

Last month, I attended a Wildfire Safety Community Meeting hosted by south Orange County Assemblymember Laurie Davies in partnership with the Orange County Fire Authority, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and the cities of Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. Needless to say, I gleaned a lot of valuable knowledge from the insightful presentations on fire preparedness, home hardening, and emergency announcement protocols.

I cannot encourage my fellow AAOC members enough to spend some time perusing the Orange County Fire Authority website, and specifically the valuable tips in the “Ready, Set, Go! Are you Wildfire Ready?” section— https://ocfa.org/SafetyPrograms/ ReadySetGo.aspx. In particular, I found the information on “Vegetation Management,” “Home Hardening,” “Be Ember Aware,” and “Tour a Wildfire Home” to be especially informative.

I was legitimately astounded by all the things I didn’t know, and how accessible solutions actually were that, in a moment of crisis, could be a structure’s saving grace.

“Trapped under decks and balconies, leaves can act as heat traps for burning embers during a wildfire,” the website offers. “Embers can swirl, and leaves can gather under open spaces and easily spread fire to your home.”

After absorbing the presentations, followed by some digging around the OCFA website, I’m planning to enclose and box-in existing openings where leaves can gather, in the name of fire protection, not to mention a suite of other easy-access and cost-effective longterm maintenance benefits, including replacing some wood fencing (which can be highly flammable) with vinyl fencing, and installing updated attic vent screens (which traditionally have ¼" inch vent openings) with ⅛" or 1/16" openings, to reduce the possibility of

embers entering the attic spaces.

Finally, I wanted to share how thoroughly I enjoyed seeing so many of our members at The Rental Housing Show on April 3rd at the OC Fair & Events Center. We had nearly 1,000 rental housing providers and other real estate professionals attend the show and meet with our 130 exhibitors, participate in our five education seminars and four maintenance demonstrations, and network with colleagues over the course of the day. And because many of you mentioned it, we will return to honoring our nation’s flag with the Pledge of Allegiance at our membership meetings starting this month.

Because it’s the little things.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Six More Legislative Threats to the Rental Housing Industry

Should a property owner (or agent) who receives a security deposit or rental payment by means of electronic transfer be forced to return the security deposit by electronic transfer unless the owner or agent agree in writing to a different methos of returning the security deposit?

Our industry is keenly aware that an owner/agent, within 21 days of a tenant vacating the property, is to refund any portion of the security deposit that is owed to a tenant along with an itemized statement detailing the justification for any amount the owner/agent has deducted. The law also requires that the refund and statement be provided to the tenant either by personal delivery or first-class mail postage prepaid.

Like most people, we are increasingly relying on electronic funds transfers using a bank’s unique routing and account number or via popular mobile banking applications such as Zelle. In response to this new world, if you will, AB 414 (Pellerin) would provide that if the owner/agent received the security deposit or rental payments from the tenant electronically, the owner/agent shall furnish the remainder of the security deposit electronically unless the owner/agent mutually agree to a different method of transferring funds. In addition, the bill would require the owner/agent to send the itemized statement either by electronic mail to an account provided by the tenant, or by first-class mail to an address provided by the tenant. Existing law already per-

mits the owner/agent and tenant by mutual agreement to have the security deposit returned electronically. This bill would effectively make electronic return the default means if the tenant had submitted the deposit and rental payments electronically.

The author of the bill claims there is anecdotal evidence that when the security deposit is returned by mail, the check, if any portion of the security deposit remains, does not always reach its intended destination. This may be purposeful or not, the check is lost in the mail, or USPS just takes too long to deliver the check. The author wants to correct these potential problems.

In sum, the change in law is expected to be signed by the governor when the bill is presented to him for signature.

Meanwhile, Senator Dr. Aisha Wahab (D-Silicon Valley) is authoring a whole host of bills of great interest to our industry. Here is a list of a few of her bills.

SB 381 (Wahab) seeks to create the Fair Rental Act of 2025. It seeks to prohibit an owner or their agent from charging fees including any fee that is not specified in a rental agreement, a processing fee (which clearly includes credit check and application fees) for the payment of rent, or any other fees or deposits for a tenant to own a household pet. The bill would also prohibit an owner or agent from charging a late fee for the late payment of rent that is more than 2% of the monthly rental rate (despite long-standing judicial decisions to the contrary) and would prohibit the

late fee from being charged unless the rent is overdue by seven days or more (thus, if the bill is signed into law tenants would be statutorily given a grace period to pay rent without penalty).

Under the terms of the bill, if an owner or an agent collects a fee from a tenant that is not authorized by law, the owner or agent would be liable to the tenant for the cost of the fee plus 5% interest compounded daily from the date the fee was collected. The bill discourages owners from renting to households that are on a financial precipice and intentionally and unnecessarily delays rental payments which may prove to be a major problem for small property owners. The measure will also pose issues should a tenant want an additional rental benefit during the lease term.

SB 384 (Wahab) proposes to establish the Preventing Algorithmic Price Fixing Act that would prohibit housing providers from using “a price-fixing algorithm to set…a price or supply level of a good or service” or “a rent or occupancy level of rental property.” And if that was not bad enough, the state Attorney General or a city attorney or county counsel would be authorized to file a civil action for violations of those provisions including a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. The result of the bill is to clearly stop the use of AI when setting the rent or the number of occupants per unit.

How AB 628 and SCAQMD’s Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 would change your operations— and what you can do about it.

California’s legislative and regulatory landscape is once again poised to impose burdensome mandates on rental property owners and operators, threatening to exacerbate the state’s housing crisis. Assembly Bill 628 (AB 628) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 represent a one-two punch that could have devastating financial and operational consequences for the rental housing market.

AB 628: Unfunded Mandates on Landlords

Introduced by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor (D-Inglewood), AB 628 would require landlords to provide stoves and refrigerators in rental units by January 1, 2026. While the intent to standardize tenant living conditions may seem noble, the reality is that this unfunded mandate places the financial burden squarely on rental property owners. In a state where housing providers are already grappling with stringent regulations and rising operational costs, this additional requirement could deter investment in rental properties,

ultimately reducing the availability of affordable housing.

SCAQMD Proposed Amended Rules

1111 and 1121: Electrification Without Infrastructure

The South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 aim to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by mandating the replacement of natural gas-fired furnaces and water heaters with electric alternatives. This push for electrification, however, ignores the current inadequacies of California’s electrical grid. The state has faced rolling blackouts and grid failures, highlighting the fragility of our energy infrastructure. Forcing an increased reliance on electricity without first ensuring a stable and sufficient supply is not only imprudent but also places tenants at risk during peak demand periods.

The combined impact of these mandates is staggering. Replacing gas appliances with electric counterparts necessitates significant upgrades to existing electrical systems, especially in multifamily properties constructed before 1990. These buildings often lack the capacity to support the increased electrical load, requiring extensive and costly renovations.

Estimated Costs per Unit:

• Electric Water Heater: $2,000 to $3,000

• Electric Furnace: $3,800 to $12,000

• Electric Stove and Refrigerator: $1,800

• Electrical Panel Upgrade: $1,500 to $3,500

• Internal Wiring and Infrastructure: $5,000 to $10,000

The Financial Toll on Property Owners

Total Estimated Initial Cost per Unit: Approximately $14,300 to $30,300

This also assumes that the property has enough power infrastructure already in place to accommodate this increased draw on power. Having to run power to the property can cost additional tens of thousands of dollars—and take months to schedule with contractors.

Beyond these initial expenses, property owners can anticipate increased annual maintenance costs and higher electricity bills, further straining their financial viability. Sadly, none of these issues were taken into consideration as these proposals have come forward.

Advocacy: Standing Against Overreach

Property owners and operators must unite to oppose these overreaching mandates:

1. Engage with Industry Associations: Collaborate with organizations like the Apartment Association of Orange County to amplify concerns and lobby against these proposals.

2. Participate in Public Hearings: Attend legislative sessions and SCAQMD meetings to voice the practical challenges and financial burdens these mandates impose.

3. Communicate with Your Tenants: Tenants will be negatively impacted by these proposals—not only with their costs increasing significantly, but also:

– Displacement while the upgrades are being made

– Uninhabitable conditions while the upgrades are being made

– Delays in other upgrades and improvements due to unfunded mandates being put on the property owner.

4. Communicate with Legislators: Directly reach out to state representatives to highlight the detrimental impacts on the housing market and advocate for more balanced solutions.

– Respond to AAOC Red Alerts

– Attend the June 6th Meeting of the SCAQMD

Advocacy only works when you engage in the effort to address these issues. Take the time to send an email, make a call, and tell your tenants and fellow owners that we need their help in communicating to our legislators the impact of these issues.

Preparation: Mitigating Potential Impacts

Should these mandates come to pass, proactive measures can help mitigate their impact: Conduct Property Assessments: Evaluate current electrical systems to determine the scope of necessary upgrades.

1. Develop a Phased Implementation Plan: Prioritize renovations to spread costs over time and minimize disruption.

2. Explore Financial Assistance: Research state and PUC grants, public tax rebates, and government backed energy financing options for energy-efficient upgrades.

3. Invest in High-Efficiency Appliances: Select appliances that offer long-term energy savings to offset increased operational costs.

4. Educate Tenants: Inform residents about upcoming changes, potential benefits, and any impact on their utility expenses.

In the End—We Will Figure It Out

California’s approach to housing policy continues to burden property owners with mandates that, while wellintentioned, fail to consider practical implications and economic realities. AB 628 and SCAQMD Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 exemplify this disconnect, threatening to exacerbate the state’s housing affordability crisis. Property owners and operators must actively oppose these measures and prepare strategically to safeguard their investments and ensure the continued provision of quality housing.

Sacramento — continued from 6

Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. This bill proposes massive changes to the eviction process due to non-payment of rent. The bill mandates that courts must restore tenants to their tenancy if they pay the overdue rent or show they have been approved for rental assistance funds covering the debt. Tenants would no longer need to demonstrate hardship for this relief and would indefinitely remain in tenancy. Payment or documentation can be provided to the owner or their agent or the

Questions & Answers

I own several single-family homes, each one titled in its own LLC. It is my understanding that as long as I provide the tenants with an addendum to the lease notifying them that the property is exempt from the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482), then the units are exempt. Is that correct?

In short; yes. The Tenant Protection Act has both a rent control component (Civil Code §1947.12) and a “Just Cause” component (Civil Code §1946.2). In both, the statute states that single family homes are exempt, provided they are a single family residence that can be sold separate from the title to any other dwelling unit, provided the owner is not any of the following: 1) a real estate investment trust (REIT); 2) a corporation; or 3) a limited liability company in which one member is a corporation. In other words, provided the rental unit is the only rental unit on the parcel, it doesn’t fall into the categories above, and you provided the tenants with the necessary exemption language, you are exempt from both the rent control and just cause aspects of the law.

However, there is currently a bill working its way through Sacramento known as AB 1157. If passed, this bill will remove the single-family residence exemption from both the rent control and just cause aspects of the Tenant Protection Act. It will also reduce the permissible rent increase amounts from 5% plus CPI to 2% plus CPI. Moreover, while the Tenant Protection Act was passed with a 2030 sunset (expiration) date,

AB 1157 permanently removes that sunset date.

Have you ever heard the old Arabian proverb which states, “If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow.”? In 2020, when the Tenant Protection Act was passed, it was a watered-down version of “rent” and “eviction” control. As the years passed, the state has been increasing the tenant protections under the law, removing landlord’s rights and exemptions, and increasing the requirements of landlords to be in compliance. My suggestion? Use (and share with every landlord you know) the following link to determine and contact your representative to voice your concerns about the loss of housing providers’ rights in California. Moreover, donate to Political Action Committees (PACs) and other campaigns that use the money to remove radical, anti-landlord legislators by funding the campaigns of those who understand the needs and challenges faced by landlords.

Here is the link to find your legislative representatives: https://findyourrep. legislature.ca.gov.

Recently I used your firm to evict a tenant for unpaid rent. While I’ve done plenty of evictions in the past, they have all settled without a trial except this one. As you know, my case went all the way to jury trial which, thankfully, we won. We are still waiting for the sheriff to conduct the lockout (they are

so slow!) but the tenant recently contacted me and asked whether she could make a payment toward the judgment amount. As much as I want to take the money to offset my losses, I recall you telling me at the beginning of the case, “don’t take a single penny from the tenant without contacting us first.” So here I am, contacting you. Should I take the money? Am I permitted to?

Legally speaking, if you accept “rent” from the tenant before the lockout is conducted (even if it is for a portion of the judgment amount) you will undermine your case and the tenant can go back to court in an attempt to stop the lockout by claiming you reinstated the tenancy. The better move is to engage in negotiations with the tenant while you wait for the lockout. In the event you can come to terms with them, you can reduce the agreement to writing without jeopardizing your case but be sure to have the agreement drafted by an attorney to protect your interests and avoid waiving your rights.

Coincidentally, there is a bill floating around Sacramento right now that could really change the entire playing field. The bill is known as SB 436 and provides that if the tenant/defendant in an eviction for non-payment of rent pays the full amount of rent in arrears or submits documentation of approval for rental assistance funds in an amount that would cover the full amount of unpaid rent, the case must be dismissed

and the tenancy must be reinstated. Where the tenant tenders payment or provides the required approval documentation before judgment is entered, the landlord must file a dismissal with prejudice, thereby allowing the tenant/ defendant to remain in possession. Where the plaintiff fails to do so, the court will dismiss the action on their own. Moreover, where the tenant tenders payment or provides the required approval documentation after the judgment has been entered (e.g., after a trial) but anytime before the lockout occurs, the court must set aside the judgment against all defendants in the action and reinstate the tenancy. The worst parts about this bill are that: 1) the tenant/defendant is not required to demonstrate any type of “hardship” whatsoever to have the judgment removed and the tenancy reinstated; and 2) it doesn’t require the tenant/ defendant to repay any of the attorney fees or court costs incurred by the landlord in the course of the eviction.

My husband and I are confused and hoping you can clear it up. We own a six-unit building in Costa Mesa built in the ‘60s. We understood it was regulated by the Tenant Protection Act when it went into effect in 2020. Then we heard Costa Mesa passed its own tenant protections, so we were told it is now governed by those laws instead. Then a friend of mine told me it is governed by both sets of laws, and now we are completely confused. Can you let us know which laws we are required to follow?

Under the umbrella phrase “rent control” are often two different types of tenant protections. Specifically, there are true “rent control” laws which govern the amount you may increase rents each year and then there are laws governing evictions, known as “just cause” laws, (A.K.A. eviction control). Many people simply refer to the two schemes collec-

tively as “rent control,” which can cause some confusion amongst landlords.

It is possible for buildings to be covered by two entirely different sets of laws. For example, in your situation, your building is covered by the Tenant Protection Act when you are dealing with rent control and the permissible amounts you may increase the rents each year. However, the Tenant Protection Act states, where a municipality passes its own set of tenant protection laws that are stricter than those under the Tenant Protection Act, then the municipality’s laws control. Some cities pass their own rent control and just cause laws which then govern the building under a single ordinance. But other cities pass only one or the other; rent control or just cause.

In your situation, your building was covered by the Tenant Protection Act for both rent control and just cause until the city of Costa Mesa passed its own “just cause” ordinance, (which governs your property when it comes to terminating a tenancy) but the city chose not to pass any rent control. That means when terminating a tenancy, you must comply with Costa Mesa’s just cause ordinance, but when you are navigating rent increases, you need to follow the state Tenant Protection Act as the controlling law.

The information is presented and intended to address the topic(s) covered above in a general nature. There may be significant differences between jurisdictions with “rent control” and/or “just cause” ordinances, and the facts surrounding your specific situation should be presented to your attorney for review.

court. If paid just before judgment, the unlawful detainer case would be dismissed. And to make matters worse (if this is possible), if resolved after judgment but before the owner retakes the property, the judgment is void and the tenant is reinstated. Additionally, the bill requires the initial three-day notice to inform tenants of this “new” right to redeem tenancy.

SB 522 (Wahab) is another doozey. Under current law, the Tenant Protection Act (TPA) until January 1, 2030 restricts owners from terminating the tenancy of certain tenants without just cause (whether at-fault or no-fault of the tenant) or setting the maximum annual rent. Certain properties that have received their certificate of occupancy within the last 15 years are exempt from these restrictions. The bill proposes that housing built to replace a unit previously under the TPA which was damaged or destroyed by a disaster should not be exempt. The result of this bill would be to clearly discourage any property owner from replacing their damaged or destroyed unit back into the rental housing market.

A final bill of great interest and concern (as if the aforementioned bills were not enough) is AB 1157 (Kalra). Pure and simple, it would repeal the sunset date of the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 whereby the net result would be to indefinitely cap rents in the state.

It goes without saying that the rental housing industry will be rolling up its sleeves and fighting to stop these bills this year.

Stay tuned for updates as the legislative session progresses.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

Vandals have broken into my building’s storage unit again. The door swings in and it is easy to muscle open. How can I strengthen the door without it looking like Fort Knox? Avel

Dear Avel:

Try reversing your door. Have the door swing out instead of in. You can reinforce the frame from the inside by installing a 1x1 inch doorstop all along

BONA FIDE MORTGAGE

your doorframe. The door will close against this new frame and will make it very hard to kick in. The frame stop can be either wood or square metal tube material. The door should be a solid core exterior grade and use a good quality dead bolt lock. The hinges will be exposed, so use three heavy-duty tamper-proof hinges. If this does not stop the vandals, it should at least slow them down considerably.

Dear Maintenance Men:

store in your garage. We are sure you are not the only one with this problem. It starts small, with just a few light switch plates and a bag of wire nuts. If only you could find that receipt, you would take them back to the store right away—well, maybe tomorrow, after I finish the next job—or the next job.

Please repeat after me: My name is “insert name here” and I hoard parts. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

After doing work on my apartment units, I am always left with extra parts that I have not used. What is the solution to all the extra parts collected over the years? I know the standard answer is to use the parts or take them back to the hardware store. It seems simple on paper, but it has gotten out of control, and I need help! John

Dear John:

It is easy to start a personal hardware

1. The first thing to do is actively inventory the parts, separating them into trade groups such as electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.

2. Now, separate the returnable parts from the non-returnable parts. Typically, the returnable parts are still in their packaging with the bar code visible. Most big-name home centers will accept back their parts without a receipt if they are in good condition. They will likely give you store credit for the parts.

3. With the store credit, buy some clear see-through plastic bins or containers. Clearly mark the containers by trade such as electrical, plumbing, etc. The see-though bins will help eliminate the problem of: “if I can’t see them, I need to buy more” syndrome.

4. Keep the containers readily available. This is key to your success! If you are obsessive at all, you can subdivide the categories even further, such as

a bin for switch plates and receptacles, or plumbing parts by copper or p.v.c., etc.

5. Before your next job, review your purchase list against the parts in each bin. Since you most likely purchase similar items for most apartment maintenance jobs, you can start to deplete your in-house stock by using parts in your current inventory.

6. Make it a rule that the current job is not complete until you complete your returns. With a fresh receipt in hand, you will get cold hard cash for those returns. That is a lot more fun than searching your garage for parts.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I am building some work benches in my storage garage to help with my apartment maintenance jobs but the benches are a bit wobbly and not as sturdy as I had hoped they would be. I’m not looking for a “Monster Garage,” just something functional and strong. Please help! Ted

Dear Ted:

We can’t all be master carpenters, but that has never stopped us! In this case, “Simpson Strong Tie” is your friend. Go to your local hardware store or lumber yard. Look for a bench and shelving kit called “KWB1 Hardware Kit.” It comes in a box and contains metal connectors, screws and instructions for building the strongest bench you have ever seen! And it is simple to build. In a couple of hours, you will have a professional duty bench.

COVER YOUR ASSETS

Checking In on Your Apartments

Your real estate holdings are a living, breathing thing. Sure, maybe not in the literal sense, but in the figurative sense it’s indisputable. And much like their owners, buildings and properties are susceptible to the effects of Father Time. This means wear and tear occurs over time and tends to worsen as symptoms and ailments go untreated. It’s common sense, really, yet so many owners fail to properly maintain the assets in their portfolio. I’m convinced that some owners truly believe their investment is complete at the close of escrow (and their properties appearances tend to support this thesis).

Sure, you invest to make a return, a good return on your money, but squeezing every last dollar out of your property isn’t the way to go. Inevitably, this leads to the worst of all worlds. Things like extreme pricing on projects that cannot be competitively bid due to urgent conditions impacting habitability, system failures requiring a complete rebuild or reconstruction or in some cases: surrendering control of a project to a gov-

ernmental or regulatory agency, and all due to greed or ineptitude. So how can you avoid the sudden, unexpected events that we as investors loathe so much? It all starts with being prepared.

My preference has always been to start inside and work my way out. Depending on the size of your portfolio, you will want to get inside of your units at least once per year. Check for things like plumbing leaks, drips, running toilets or showerheads. Check the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace, if necessary, and note the general cleanliness and upkeep of the unit. Are there any issues with mold or water damage? These are all issues that you will want to note and circle back to once the inspection is complete. Because it can be a challenge accessing residents’ units, I always encourage owners and managers to have the supplies ready so that the repairs can be made in real time. This is a real time and money saver.

If you suspect that there may be issues beyond what you might otherwise see or recognize, coordinate for the right

experts to survey the property, be it: asphalt contractors, electricians, landscapers, plumbers, roofers, pool plaster contractors or any other pertinent tradespeople. Get their insight and opinion on the various surfaces and structures at the property and have them provide you with cost estimates for the work that may or may not be needed. Even if the work is not required immediately, the budget figures will help you quantify the amount you might expect to pay at a later date. Start setting aside the appropriate reserves so that you will be able to easily afford the expense when it’s time.

Take it a step further by asking your vendors to note interior conditions when they are inside of the units completing other work orders. This can create an opportunity for you to follow up directly or to complete an inspection at random. Whatever you can do to mitigate risk, preserve cash flow and avoid the unexpected. The bottom line is that in the apartment business, we hate surprises. Leave those for lottery tickets and birthday parties.

Review & Refine Your Plan

As we reached Week Nine of our ten-week Estate and Legacy Planning Series, it was time to shift gears. This week, we focused on assessment, refinement, and readiness. Having explored the major areas of estate and legacy planning over the past weeks, it was finally time to revisit what we’d created, identify gaps, and ensure that each participant’s plan worked in practice, not just on paper.

The week’s session was designed to help participants conduct a full review of their estate and legacy plans. We went through a comprehensive checklist, discussed key “trigger” events that warrant updates, and explored how to run a dry run, or a “fire drill,” to test how the plan would hold up in real life. We also offered the opportunity for a one-on-one review with participants, providing more personalized insights and identifying areas where they could fine-tune their plans for the future.

By the end of this session, participants walked away with a clearer sense of next steps and a renewed understanding of what adjustments or addi-

tions were needed.

Throughout the class, I’ve emphasized that a solid estate plan is a living document, something that needs regular updates to stay relevant. This week, that message was front and center. As we dove into refining the plans, it became clear that thorough planning is only part of the equation. Reviewing and revising those plans is just as critical. Whether it’s due to a change in family dynamics, legal requirements, or new financial circumstances, your estate plan should evolve with you.

The checklist we provided gave participants a clear guide to review every element of their estate plan, ensuring that no critical detail was overlooked. Alongside the checklist, we discussed how to store sensitive information securely and maintain access for those who will need it, such as an executor or successor trustee.

Legal Review: Ensuring Order and Accuracy

A big focus this week was on ensuring that participants’ legal documents were in order and up to date. We reviewed the importance of keeping essential documents—like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives—complete and legally sound. We also emphasized the importance of working with an estate planning attorney to make sure everything complies with current laws and standards.

During the session, we encouraged participants to treat their estate plan as a “living” document, revisiting it regu-

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

larly to ensure it reflects current wishes and legal standards.

Whether you’ve gone through a major life change like marriage, divorce, or having children, or just experienced a shift in your financial or health status, these changes should be reflected in your estate plan.

Financial Review: Aligning Assets

This week also brought attention to the financial aspect of estate planning. It’s important to coordinate with a financial advisor to ensure that all assets are titled correctly and that beneficiaries are updated. Many people overlook this step, assuming their estate will automatically pass in accordance with their wishes. But without the proper coordination, you might face complications when the time comes to settle the estate.

One of the key takeaways was the importance of asset consolidation. Many participants realized that having multiple accounts spread across different institutions or ownership structures can create confusion and delays.

Tax Implications: Professional Review

As with every major financial decision, taxes are an important consideration in estate planning. This week, participants were encouraged to meet with tax professionals to assess how their estate plan would impact their estate, gift, and income taxes. A tax

Family Communication: Sharing Your Vision

An often-overlooked aspect of estate planning is family communication. This week, we talked about the importance of clearly sharing your estate plan with family members. So many estate issues arise due to lack of communication, and we emphasized the need for participants to engage in open, honest discussions with their loved ones about their wishes.

Many participants admitted that they had never really thought about

how they would discuss their estate plans with family members. We discussed strategies for approaching these conversations with sensitivity and transparency, especially when it comes to explaining difficult decisions. To avoid misunderstandings or potential conflict, it’s essential to communicate your intentions clearly, ideally while everyone is in good health and able to make informed decisions.

Final Adjustments: Refining Your Plan

By the end of the session, participants had the tools to make final adjustments to their estate plans. It’s not enough to simply update your documents every few years—estate planning requires continuous reflection and refinement. Taking the time to process feedback, consider life changes, and factor in the advice of professionals ensures that your plan remains a true reflection of your wishes.

This week’s session also emphasized the importance of designing your estate

plan with flexibility in mind. Life changes are inevitable, and it’s crucial to build provisions into your plan that allow for modifications as circumstances evolve.

Looking Ahead

As we approach the final week of the class, it’s time to start thinking about how to present your estate plan to your family, advisors, and anyone else involved in executing your wishes. In Week 10, we’ll discuss how to communicate your plan with confidence and clarity, ensuring that everyone understands their role in the process and that the transition of your legacy is as smooth as possible.

Orange County Shows Fire Resilience… But Are We Ready for the Next Big Earthquake?

BY ALI SAHABI

Orange County has a lot to be proud of when it comes to disaster preparedness.

Back in October 2020, fast-moving wildfires driven by 90 mph winds in Silverado Canyon and Yorba Linda threatened thousands of homes and forced over 60,000 residents to evacuate. It could have been catastrophic, but the region was ready. Thanks to modern fire codes, community education on brush clearance, and a world-class regional firefighting force, widespread destruction was avoided.

That’s resilience in action.

When communities invest in public safety, support smart policies, and proactively prepare, we reduce the risks we face. But while we’ve made great strides in fire preparedness, there’s another threat we can’t afford to overlook— earthquakes.

Are We Earthquake Ready?

We all know the basics—drop,

cover, and hold on; stock up on emergency supplies; secure heavy items. But how many of us have evaluated the structural safety of the buildings we live and work in?

Many parts of Orange County are located near active earthquake faults or in zones susceptible to landslides and liquefaction—where the ground can shake violently and unpredictably during a quake. From Huntington Beach to Laguna Beach, from Santiago Canyon to Yorba Linda, the potential for seismic damage is real.

If you’re a property owner or operator, now is the time to ask: Is your building seismically sound?

Common Building Types at Risk Include:

• Soft-story buildings built before 1978 (with parking beneath residential units)

• Unreinforced masonry structures built before 1933

Management & Investments

• Concrete tilt-up buildings constructed before 1980

• Non-ductile concrete buildings from before 1978

• Steel moment frame buildings built prior to 1996

These structures are especially vulnerable during major seismic events— and many are still standing today throughout Orange County.

Take Action Before the Earthquake Hits

Just as we’ve adapted to reduce wildfire risk, we must now focus on strengthening our buildings to withstand earthquakes. A property assessment by an experienced seismic retrofit firm can help you understand your building’s vulnerabilities and what steps to take next.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Orange County has proven we can prepare for fire. Let’s show we’re just as resilient when the ground starts to shake.

Optimum Seismic has been making California cities safer since 1984 with full-service earthquake engineering, steel fabrication, and construction services. With over 4,000 retrofit and renovation projects completed, our expertise includes soft-story multifamily apartments, tilt-up, non-ductile concrete, steel moment frame, and unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings.

Is Policy Pushing Investors Out of L.A.?

BY MERCEDES SHAFFER, BROKER

For decades, Los Angeles County stood as one of the most desirable places to live, attracting residents, developers, and investors from around the world. With its sunny climate, vibrant economy, and unmatched cultural appeal, L.A. was the epicenter of luxury living and real estate development. However, a growing number of policy changes, including the controversial mansion tax, skyrocketing construction costs, increasing insurance expenses, and local rent control laws are making it increasingly difficult for homeowners, investors, and developers to justify staying in the market.

The Palisades Fire Aftermath: A Developer’s Perspective

In the aftermath of recent wildfires, land in prime areas like the Pacific Palisades is coming onto the market as homeowners who lost their properties choose not to rebuild. Many simply cannot afford to, while others do not want to endure the arduous and expensive process. One example is a new listing in

a great location priced at $3,250,000 for just under half an acre. At first glance, this seems like an attractive opportunity, but let’s examine the numbers from a developer’s perspective.

The previous home on the lot was approximately 5,146 square feet. Under the city’s Fire Victims Fast Track program, developers can rebuild up to 10% larger, meaning a new home could be around 5,660 square feet, with an option to add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). With construction costs conservatively estimated at $600 per square foot—excluding high-end finishes, the total development cost, including land acquisition, would reach approximately $6,646,000. Adding in carrying costs at 8% per year, this project would ultimately cost around $7,650,000.

If the new home were to sell at a market rate of $1,200 per square foot, the total sale price would be roughly $6,800,000. However, L.A. County’s new mansion tax would subtract over $250,000 before accounting for real estate commissions, escrow, title, and

other fees. In the end, a developer could face a loss of over $1.5 million.

The Impact of Restrictive Policies

The financial reality of this scenario highlights a much larger issue. L.A.’s prohibitive policies are discouraging new development—not just for luxury homes but also for large-scale multifamily housing projects. The costs of construction, insurance, and compliance with regulations are already high, and the additional burden of the mansion tax further disincentivizes investment in the region.

Multifamily developers, who are essential for increasing housing supply and keeping rental markets stable, are now reevaluating whether L.A. remains a viable location for new projects. When development slows, rental housing supply tightens, driving up rents and exacerbating the housing crisis rather than alleviating it.

A Migration Away from L.A.

With these challenges in mind, many homeowners, investors, and developers are shifting their focus elsewhere. While Orange County, Ventura County, and Palm Springs are attractive alternatives, many are looking beyond California altogether. States like Texas, Florida, and Arizona, with lower taxes and fewer regulatory hurdles, are becoming increasingly appealing for both individuals and businesses.

This shift is a warning sign for L.A. County. If policies continue to discour-

age development and investment, the very qualities that once made L.A. the center of the world for real estate could diminish, leading to long-term economic consequences for the region.

The Ripple Effect on Orange County Real Estate

As developers and investors move away from Los Angeles, Orange County is already seeing the benefit, particularly in the luxury home and multifamily investment sectors. High-net-worth buyers seeking prime coastal properties are increasingly turning to areas like Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Huntington Beach, where they can still find exclusivity without the additional tax burdens imposed by L.A. At the same time, multifamily investors are shifting their attention to O.C. cities such as Costa Mesa, Fullerton and Anaheim, where rental demand remains strong and local policies are much more favorable. This increased interest is driving up property values and competition, making Orange County a prime market for those looking to escape L.A.’s restrictive environment while still investing in Southern California real estate.

Conclusion: The Need for Policy Reform

Los Angeles has long been a desirable city for luxury living and real estate investment, but current policies are making it an increasingly difficult place to build, invest, and even reside. If local leaders want to preserve LA’s reputation as a world-class destination, and attract rental housing development, they must reconsider laws that are driving developers and multifamily investors away. Otherwise, the trend of migration and stalled development will continue, reshaping the future of the city in ways that could be difficult to reverse.

Dealing with Biohazard Cleanup After a Tragic Incident: Essential Steps for Property Managers

Unfortunately, at some point, one of your residents living alone may pass away and go undiscovered, or a crime or suicide may occur on your property. When this happens, you are thrust into emergency response mode. Authorities are contacted, concerns from residents arise, and you’re faced with blood, biohazards, and a cleanup beyond what your maintenance team can handle. There are critical legal and procedural steps you must follow before the property

can return to generating revenue.

Critical First Steps

What you do next is crucial in minimizing damage and ensuring the safety of residents and staff. The coroner will often seal the apartment until the next of kin is notified, and in cases of extensive decomposition, they may not release the unit until a positive identification is made.

Once cleared, no one should enter or clean the unit unless your staff is prop-

erly trained in OSHA Standard 1910.1030. Exposure to bloodborne pathogens like Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and HIV is dangerous.

Call a Licensed Biohazard Cleanup Company

Next, contact a biohazard cleanup company with a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioners (TSW) License issued by the California

Department of Public Health. This certification ensures that the company follows proper health codes for cleanup and disposal. Any company hired to clean biohazards in California must have this license to legally handle, transport, and dispose of biohazard waste. If the company cannot provide proof of their TSW license, do not hire them, as doing so may expose you to liability.

The Realities of Biohazard Cleanup

After a death or a traumatic incident, decomposition starts immediately. Blood and bodily fluids drain, attracting flies and maggots that contaminate the environment, with strong, unpleasant odors permeating through the unit and hallway. Biohazards will likely be found on floors, mattresses, sofas, and countertops, with gunshot wounds spreading blood across walls, cabinets, and other surfaces. These must be cleaned and decontaminated to ensure the safety of future residents and staff and

eliminate odors.

Unlike a simple spill, biohazards must be properly removed and decontaminated. A licensed professional will clean the unit quickly, restoring it to a rentable condition.

What to Expect from a Biohazard Professional

A reputable biohazard company will assess factors such as the cause of death, the condition of the body, how long it was undiscovered, the level of cross-contamination, odor, and the amount of biohazard waste. Upon arrival, biohazard professionals will discreetly inspect the unit and determine the cleanup plan. Soft materials like carpets, bedding, and furniture will need to be removed, while hard surfaces like floors and walls can be cleaned and decontaminated.

Addressing Hidden Hazards

Biohazards often extend beyond visible stains. Blood can seep through carpets and along seams in tiles, linoleum, or wood floors. If biohazards have penetrated beneath these surfaces, flooring, padding, and tack strips must be removed to properly clean, decontaminate, and seal the subfloor. Failure to do so can lead to future liability.

Odor Mitigation

Decomposition and blood odors can be persistent, even after biohazards are removed. To effectively combat this, choose a biohazard company that uses advanced odor-removal technologies like ozone and hydroxyl treatments and have the staff to remove the soft, porous items that remain. These methods neutralize odors without leaving harsh chemical smells or perfumes.

Conclusion

While the occurrence of a death or suicide on your property is distressing, hiring a licensed biohazard professional ensures that the unit is cleaned safely and thoroughly. With the right

Regulatory Wins: Supporting Housing Affordability and Lowering Costs Through Deregulation

Bolstering the industry’s long-term viability, NAA is leading the way toward responsible housing policy solutions.

While often well-intentioned, industry regulations come with a costly price tag for both renters and rental housing providers alike. New research from MetroSight reveals that overregulation can negatively impact rental housing affordability by increasing operating costs, discouraging new construction, increasing the cost of housing and limiting its accessibility and availability for Americans.

Earlier this year, the National Apartment Association (NAA) and the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) took action and sent a letter to the White House requesting a thorough review of 32 federal programs, rules and regulations at 10 different agencies— the ultimate goal: to increase housing supply, lower costs and improve housing affordability.

“NAA members have made it clear:

less regulation opens the door to providing more housing,” said NAA President & CEO Bob Pinnegar. “Reviewing these federal compliance burdens would be a solid first step towards allowing the private sector to build and operate without the financial and administrative costs of overregulation.”

Regulatory Victories

Since January, NAA—alongside real estate industry coalition partners—has secured critical wins for the rental housing industry. As always, bolstering housing affordability and lowering costs remain the focus of NAA’s advocacy. Key wins to date include:

• FHFA Rescinds Duplicative Landlord-Tenant Requirements:

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) rescinded its directive imposing three new

BY NICOLE UPANO

federally-mandated landlordtenant requirements on covered multifamily housing financed through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises), which would have required changes to millions of leases.

• Momentum for Housing on Federal Lands: In March, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Secretary Doug Burgum announced the Joint Task Force on Federal Land for Housing. The Task Force aims to find federal land vacancies that can be used for new affordable housing units, assisting with land transfer operations, streamlining regulations and increasing awareness for the urgent need for more housing.

• HUD Rescinds Rules: HUD terminated the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. In December, under the Biden Administration, the Agency also rescinded a proposed rule on criminal screening. Under the Trump Administration, the Agency has removed many guidance documents and notices related to rental housing. NAA continues to monitor closely for rulemakings to be formally withdrawn and removed from the Federal Register.

• BOI Scope Dramatically Limited: The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) pause on reporting enforcement for U.S. companies has been made permanent with FinCEN’s issuance of an interim final rule taking effect on March 26, 2025. The interim final rule dramatically reduces the rule’s scope of what BOI is subject to disclosure.

• Revisiting “Waters of the United States:” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to review the definition of “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) to align it with the Supreme Court’s finding in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. An appropriately scoped revision to the WOTUS definition would provide much-

needed clarity and regulatory relief for developers across the country as they work to meet the nation’s rental housing needs.

• FCC Withdraws Bulk Billing Ban: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr withdrew a Biden-era proposal from circulation that would have banned broadband bulk billing arrangements between property owners and internet service providers, including jeopardizing existing contracts. The Commission’s move ensures that residents can continue to benefit from economies of scale, decreased costs and increased access to high-quality internet services in rental communities.

• Efficiency Standards Postponed: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced actions to postpone mandated efficiency standards for home appliances, including air conditioners, washers and dryers and water heaters.

• FTC Removes Confusing Blog Guidance: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) removed 300 blog postings from its website, including business guidance by blog which made it difficult for the rental housing industry to understand changes to their federal compliance responsibilities. Blog entries, such as “Price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing” and

“Becoming a gold star property manager: Lessons from the FTC’s case against Greystar,” circumvent the established rulemaking process under the Administrative Procedure Act and do not allow the public to comment as FTC imposed new standards. Using its blog, the FTC has reinterpreted or expanded its authority under existing laws.

What’s Next

NAA is grateful for the Trump Administration’s attention to these regulatory challenges. Without their swift action, federal overregulation of the rental housing industry would continue to impact the cost and availability of affordable housing for millions of Americans.

NAA continues to advocate against policies that exacerbate longstanding affordability challenges and instead for real housing policy solutions.
