THE DILEMMA:

One of the most complex parts of owning rental property is understanding federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and codes that come with being a Sacramento property manager. Inexperience with these laws can lead to legal pitfalls and headaches, some of which include:

  • Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • Violation of California Fair Housing Laws
  • Violations of habitability laws by refusing to attend to safety, mold, or structural issues
  • Hiring property maintenance or management companies that do not follow the proper licensing requirements
  • Failure to comply to local or state laws regarding smoke and carbon dioxide detectors
  • Failure to maintain an after-hours point of contact and improper documentation of the rent cycle
  • Failure to hire a licensed real estate agent to conduct property management activities
  • Violating trust in accounting laws by improperly handling security deposits
  • Failure to keep personal information confidential
