Housing Protection Legal Noticing

HOUSING PROTECTION LEGAL NOTICING

Housing Protection Legal Noticing:  In July 2020, the Housing Protection Department disseminated an information letter along with the required legal notifications for Landlords to provide to tenants informing them of laws that govern their rent increase and outline tenant just-cause evictions protections.

Any lease agreement executed after July 2020 must include the written verbiage in the initial lease agreement, or the required verbiage must be provided on an addendum.  

The Division has created the Fully Regulated and Exempt forms for the Landlord's convenience.  If you elect not to utilize the City’s legal notifications, your noticing shall be no less than 12-point type and be subject to California Civil Code Section 1632(b)(3).
