Acting as a landlord in California can be a risky business. 

Landlords can face claims of wrongful eviction, discrimination, and personal injury occurring at the property, not to mention costs due to property damage caused by natural disasters, burglary, and vandalism. If the landlord has one employee or more, he or she must also maintain workers compensation insurance. Landlords without or with insufficient insurance can be faced with catastrophic business interruption and financial loss. 

Learn about the various types of insurance available to you as a rental housing provider, including recommendations for renters insurance, and the options provided through the CAA Value Insurance Plan.

If you follow the news, you probably notice that California appears to be in a constant state of emergency. Whether due to fires, severe storms, earthquakes, or pandemics, both the Governor and local officials have declared countless states of emergency over the last several years. Those emergency declarations trigger a provision of the state’s penal code, called the state’s anti-price gouging law, which limits how much rental housing providers can increase rent. And those limitations apply not only to your existing tenants but also to new tenants even in units that are new to the rental market. A violation of this law is a misdemeanor and subject to significant penalties.
