• No other book gives specific, current information on rights and responsibilities of California tenants--from signing a lease to breaking one (or being evicted), and everything in between (discrimination, privacy, repairs, deposits, and more).
• No other book provides guidance on eviction defense, including how to fill in official California forms.
• Since 1972, this has been the go-to resource for the millions people who live in apartments and other rental housing in California.
• This book is especially useful tenants in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco with large numbers of people living in rent-regulated properties.
The 20th edition includes updated information on all key landlord-tenant laws and court cases in California, as well as local rent control ordinances in 14 California cities that have them. The new edition includes changes to important tenant eviction defense forms and procedures. It also includes information on tenant rights to sublet space through Airbnb and other short-term rental services.
