2025 New Laws

As of July 2025, California's real estate laws now in effect include capping security deposits at one month's rent, mandatory rent reporting options for tenants, and bans on certain fees to enhance tenant protections and landlord compliance.

New Requirements

Property managers face new obligations in 2025, such as offering annual rent payment reporting to credit bureaus under AB 2747 and refunding application fees to unqualified applicants via AB 2493, both effective since early in the year.

AB 2801 Requires  Photos for Management Servicing

Effective April 1, 2025, AB 2801 compels landlords to capture and retain photos of units after tenant move-out but before and after any cleaning or repairs, with move-in photos mandated from July 1 to justify deposit withholdings.

Regulation and Compliance

Mid-2025 sees enforced regulations like SB 900 empowering property managers to address utility repairs in unresponsive HOAs and SB 611 outlawing excessive rental junk fees, streamlining compliance for real estate operations.

Environmental Responsibility

California's 2025 environmental mandates for real estate encompass bans on PFAS in building-related products and the WAIRE program's continued push for warehouse emission reductions, fostering sustainable practices.

What is Rent Ready?

In 2025, 'rent ready' denotes a rental unit prepared for occupancy, verified through mandatory photos under AB 2801 at move-in (effective July 1) and post-move-out to document condition and comply with security deposit regulations

Investment Properties

2025 laws affect investors with AB 98 enforcing setbacks and design standards for logistics properties near residential areas, while promoting housing incentives to expand inventory and mitigate market pressures.

Lease Compliance

Lease agreements in 2025 must adhere to SB 1103's new safeguards for small business tenants in commercial spaces and AB 2747's requirement for annual rent reporting elections in residential leases.
