New Rental Laws Coming in 2014
California
California landlords are going to see several changes that go into effect this January.
For instance, adjacent property owners will need to share costs of maintaining boundaries and provide notice to one another regarding fences and other upgrades.
California landlords will soon need to post utility rate information for tenants, and also provide more formal disclosures concerning smoking policies.
Carbon Monoxide
California has a number of previously-enacted rental laws relating to carbon monoxide detectors set to take effect in January, 2014.
Currently, multifamily owners must install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors. As of January 1, 2014, owners of single family rental units will also be responsible for testing and maintaining these devices.
Starting January 1, 2014, these requirements have been expanded to require landlords to display the date of manufacture and other information about the device. All battery-operated devices must contain a non-removable, non-replaceable 10-year battery.
All residential properties in California which have pending building permits after January 1st will have to prove that they have installed properly functioning alarms.
