Vigilance and Engagement is Key to Survival
We enter the fourth quarter of 2024 with the rental housing industry having survived another year of legislative threats at the state level while it continues to wait and see if calls for expanded renter protections at the federal level gain traction. The coming year will predictably see more of the same types of regulatory and legislative threats by way of the California Legislature, while the outcome of the Presidential Election
will likely determine whether federal threats will gain momentum under a Harris Administration or slow down under a second Trump Administration.
Looking ahead to the coming year, here’s a look at some of the continued and emerging threats to our industry which could reshape the economics of rental property ownership, posing significant concerns for housing providers locally, here in California, and across the country.
Rent Control: A Bad Policy that Lingers
One of the most contentious issues for apartment owners and operators at the local level is the call by tenant activists (and their allies in elected office) for rent control as a “solution” to help tenants facing housing affordability challenges. A housing policy that was once limited to larger cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and enclaves like Santa Monica, West Hollywood, San Jose and Berkeley, has spread in recent years to mid-size cities like Pasadena and Santa Ana. And if you were to look nationwide, there are presently more than 200 cities that have some form of local rent control.
Proponents argue that rent control is necessary to ensure affordable housing and combat evictions to stop the rise of homeless. Their rhetoric is typically aimed at “greedy corporate landlords,” but their proposed “solutions” indiscriminately impact all rental housing providers. Small and medium-sized owners are particularly hard hit by rent control and struggle to survive financially despite often being the ones who provide the most affordable housing in their communities. As we know all too well, rent control reduces the ability for housing providers to maintain their properties, discourages multifamily property purchases and new development, pressures owners to seek maximum rent increases every year, and the list goes on and on.

New Law Muddies Up Unlawful Detainer Process
Aproperty owner’s attempt to remedy an unlawful detainer is about to get muddy.
Assembly Bill 2347 (AB 2347) was authored by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, who represents the San Jose area, and extends a renter defendant’s time to respond to an unlawful detainer action by taking extraordinarily easy steps.
These steps were motivated by what the author called “sewer service” of unlawful detainer actions on renter defendants. So, instead of fixing the problem of sewer service, the next most reasonable response was to modify procedures in an unlawful detainer action.
STEP 1: Do Absolutely Nothing
Existing law gives a renter five (5) business days (Monday–Friday, excluding “court holidays”).
However, AB 2347 extends a renter defendant’s response time by five more business days. So, renters have been given “a gimme”; meaning, by merely being a renter of residential real property, the
new default is no requirement of a renter to respond before about two weeks.
In some instances, this extension could provide a renter with almost three (3) calendar weeks to respond to an unlawful detainer action.
By extending a defendant’s time to respond to ten (10) business days (Monday–Friday, excluding “court holidays”), property owners can expect to add approximately one more month to the already lengthy UD litigation process.
STEP 2: Tell the Judge the Complaint is Defective
AB 2347 also permits a renter defendant to respond by “demurring” or “moving to strike” the filed unlawful detainer complaint, or portions of it.
This means that after a property owner has waited for approximately one month before seeing a judge for the first time, the case will likely be delayed for at least an additional week because the defendant is now permitted to file documents that challenge a property
owner’s unlawful detainer filing by either demurrer or motion to strike.
A demurrer is a defense used by renters—not to refute the allegations made in the complaint, but rather to challenge the legal sufficiency of the “face value” of what has been alleged in a cause of action. Basically, this means that even if the property owner alleges true facts in the unlawful detainer complaint, the renter essentially objects by claiming there is a legal defense to negate the property owner’s assertions. (For example, a defense to not paying rent is a renter’s claim of habitability issues.)
A motion to strike is also a defense used by renters to remove the unlawful detainer complaint in its entirety or remove portions of the complaint. Basically, this means that a defendant can claim that the complaint or portions of it are irrelevant, false, or improper.
Both a demurrer and a motion to strike are tools the law now gives renters to delay a case by essentially challenging the pleadings, themselves, to determine whether the case can be heard on the merits (what the case is about).
If a renter defendant files a demurrer or a motion to strike with the court, then the judge will continue the case for not less than five business days, but not more seven business days; however, it could be more if the court has good cause to continue the case for longer than seven business days. One example of what could be considered “good cause” is a full court calendar that does

not have any openings for a hearing any sooner than seven business days from the original hearing.
Oppositions and replies can be made orally at the second hearing date, but if a property owner intends to file an Opposition to a renter defendant’s demurrer or motion to strike, then the written Opposition can be filed on the day of the first hearing (before the hearing) or it can be filed the day before the hearing. The property owner’s Opposition must be served in a manner, however, that ensures the renter defendant receives it no later than the close of business the day before the hearing.
An Opposition is a rebuttle to a renter defendant’s demurrer or motion to strike. A Reply is a renter defendant’s rebuttle to a property owner’s Opposition. So, in order of court filing, the list is as follows:
1. Property owner files unlawful detainer complaint
2. Defendant renter files demurrer or motion to strike
3. Property owner files an opposition
4. Renter files a reply (not mandatory)
AB 2347 permits renter defendant to also file an oral Reply to a property owner’s Opposition. There is no language that addresses whether a renter defendant is permitted to file a written reply, but it can be assumed that a renter defendant will likely advise the judge that he/she did not have ample time to review the opposition, thereby needing more time to file a reply either orally or written. Either way, there is a potential for another continuance given based on the renter defendant’s need for more time to review and provide a Reply.
Before you know it, once an unlawful detainer action is filed, the case could be continued two times just to
address a renter defendant’s ability to challenge a property owner’s unlawful detainer complaint, and that is even before the case is heard on the merits of the case (what the case is all about). And based on a renter defendant’s extended time to respond, not to mention the delays, that newly added process will have the potential to extend your unlawful detainer case by two months.

The Truth About Elections
The truth is you never know what you are going to get when it comes to elections. Here is an overview of some of the trip-ups we have encountered with candidates that we have supported, opposed, and stayed neutral on during this election alone.
• One candidate went on vacation to Italy for two weeks a month before the election.
• Two candidates have had multiple DUIs dug up from their past.
• One candidate is alleged to have been abusive toward his now ex-girlfriend and sought to “evict” her for not meeting his intimacy expectations.
Of course it’s not all bad out there either. This election we have also found—
• Common ground with several candidates with diverse political perspectives.
• Candidates who have gone through multiple pairs of shoes from canvassing their community multiple times.
• Candidates who have far outperformed our expectations.
AAOC’s voter guide with candidate and ballot measure endorsements can be found at https://www.aaoc.com/ news/aaoc-election-recommendations.
You may know that some of them seem out of the ordinary for us. That is because we have been working hard at
pushing forward an understanding of our industry, our issues, and our members with a wide group of organizations.
Over the past few years, we have expanded our connections and coalitions to go far beyond the traditional housing communities. YIMBY activists, taxpayer advocates, business organizations have always been on the periphery of the organizations with whom we coordinated.
Now they are solidly in our coalition. Police and fire unions have become increasingly aligned with our organization on core issues and have provided mutual support to address our communities’ leadership.
We have also tried something new this year—comparing the answers provided to us by candidates on their candidate questionnaires with those provided to our coalition partners, to see if these candidates were consistent in what they said about their positions on key issues.
After a candidate in 2020 lied to the housing industry about their stance on rent control, we realized it was time to change.
Now, we test the same messages in a variety of ways across all the organizations with whom we coordinate—REALTORS®, Homebuilders, Chambers of Commerce, Firefighter and police associations, and others. You name it and these groups are asking many of the same questions. And we are checking with one another to make sure these candidates are not just giving us stock answers.
We have also been holding organizations to account.
A few weeks ago, we heard a prominent business organization’s PAC approved a campaign contribution to an anti-property rights candidate who was also demonstrably anti-business. The decision was made without the candidate having been fully vetted or all the campaign dynamics being fully discussed.
Within 24 hours of hearing of the contribution being approved, our coalition came together to communicate our deep concerns to the organization and its PAC. The following day, the PAC withdrew its support for the candidate. Our mission at AAOC is simple.
We are striving to become the most effective political shop in Orange County.
This year AAOC raised over $1 million to protect your interests in local and state elections. One million dollars. That is far and away the most money this organization has ever raised in one political cycle. And for good reason— we have major issues to overcome—
• Propositions 33 and 34 on the statewide level where AAOC has contributed over $850,000 in defense of the rental housing industry.
• Measure CC in Santa Ana where AAOC has helped bring together more than a million dollars to stop rent control and just cause eviction from being made part of the city charter.
Independent Expenditures on behalf of the industry’s preferred candidates.
• Leadership and majority control challenges in Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, and Garden Grove—where AAOC has put more than $200,000 into
The outcome of Proposition 33 will undoubtedly determine our industry’s future in California. If the measure is approved by voters, will we see a flood of cities move forward with adopting rent control or will most take a more measured approach? Only time will tell. And if voters reject the measure, what can—and should—our industry do differently to discourage additional cities from considering rent control (within the current legal parameters) as a solution? One thing is for certain, owners and operators must proactively engage with their local lawmakers and
We take this responsibility very seriously and we thank you for your support via your PAC contributions this year as we take meaningful steps toward achieving our political mission.
help them understand the “other side” of the “solution.”
Zoning Reforms and Inclusionary Housing Mandates
Zoning policies present another significant challenge for the rental housing industry as we look ahead to 2025. Cities grappling with housing shortages and compliance with state-imposed housing mandates will inevitably look to their zoning laws to determine how to accommodate demand. Approving higher-density development (i.e. building multi-story residential communities) is usually the solution. While this could, in theory, provide opportunities for building more rental units, the reality is that new zoning laws often come with inclusionary housing mandates. These mandates require developers and apartment operators to set aside a percentage of units as affordable housing.

While this may seem like a reasonable compromise to balance market-rate and affordable housing, developers and apartment operators argue that inclusionary zoning cuts into profits and creates long-term operational challenges. The gap between market rent and affordable units must be subsidized, either by the property owner or through limited government assistance. Furthermore, compliance with these laws often requires additional reporting that presents further administrative obligations for owners and operators who already deal with a myriad of regulations.
Most recently, the Anaheim City Council approved an inclusionary zoning mandate for multifamily properties with 35 units or more to have 10% of its

Questions & Answers
Several of our friends who own rental units have told me they received letters from a Fair Housing Rights Center claiming they discriminated during the application process. It seems like landlords are being targeted as “discriminatory” when, in fact, no one I know discriminates in their rental business. On top of that, the laws on this topic seem to get more and more convoluted every year, so no one really knows what might land them in hot water anymore. Can you give me an overview of what I can or can’t do these days?
Most landlord understand that there are quite a few anti-discrimination laws that can result in severe financial penalties for landlords who discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, age, and a number of other categories. However, there are far more categories than most people realize, and some of them are extremely broad, such as “personal characteristics” or “personal traits,” (e.g., a person’s geographical origin, personal beliefs, or physical attributes). To avoid costly complaints or lawsuits, it’s best to remember that discrimination of any kind, against any class or group, is illegal, including an applicant’s membership in any protected group, religion, race, sex, having kids, disability, their source of income, their national origin, and (believe it or not) even the existence of a criminal record—if you don’t approach that correctly.
In essence, your decision to rent to an applicant should always be based strictly on valid and objective business criteria,
such as an applicant’s ability to pay the rent and maintain the property. For example, it is still permissible to deny an applicant with a bad credit history, poor (or unverifiable) employment histories, poor (or unverifiable) tenant histories, and/or an income level that you reasonably deem insufficient to pay the rent, since all of those criteria are reasonably related to your right to promote your legitimate, valid business interests which include running your business in a profitable manner. Still, to stay out of hot water, you want to be consistent in your screening criteria and processes and treat all applicants equally. Avoid applying generalizations to groups of people and remember to document your reasons for denying any specific applicant.

A couple years ago I rented a single-family home to two co-workers who were engaged to each other. Since that time, one changed jobs and went to another company, but remained in the relationship and in the rental unit. Recently, they broke up and the other partner moved out without notifying
me. When the rent came in this month, it was only for half the amount due. I reached out to the other partner who told me about the situation and told me that because they had never married, they were merely roommates and that he was only responsible for his half of the rent. He also added that he had a friend who wanted to move in who would cover the other half of the rent. His position sounded strange to me, since they were both listed on the lease and it was my understanding that they were both responsible for the entire amount of rent each month. But he insisted I can’t serve him a 3-day pay or quit notice or evict him because he had paid his half for the month. What do I do?
While I suspect your male tenant already knows this and is simply trying to trick you into letting him stay while he looks for a roommate, the simple truth is that he is wrong. When two or more people rent property together, and each signs the rental agreement as a lessee, they are considered “co-tenants” and share “joint and several” liability. In other words, each co-tenant is independently obligated to perform all of the terms of the agreement, including paying 100% of the full monthly rent, even if the other tenant moves out. In this case, since she never notified you that she was moving, she technically has the right to move back in. So, when you serve the 3-day notice, be sure to name both of them and, in the event you do not receive the balance of the rent withing the three day period, be sure to list both of them
defendants in an eviction action.
One of my residents was recently in a car accident and now needs to use a wheelchair for an undetermined amount of time. He’s been a tenant for a long time, and we enjoy having him there, but his wife just informed us that he will need a ramp installed to allow him to roll into the unit. On top of that, she told me that I have to pay for it! Even if I had the money to do that—I don’t—I’m not sure that is true. I was always under the impression that a disabled tenant has to pay for any modifications to the building to suit their disability. So, which is it? Do I have to install the ramp on my dime?
The law states that landlords must allow disabled tenants to make reasonable modifications to their rental unit, but only to the extent necessary to allow the tenant full enjoyment of the premises. Contrary to the wife’s misguided belief, it is the tenant who must pay for
the modification rather than the landlord. Moreover, the landlord may require the tenant to enter into an agreement to restore the premises to their original condition upon termination of the tenancy as a condition of approving the modification. As part of the agreement, a landlord can also require the tenant to pay a reasonable estimate of the restoration cost into an escrow account to ensure that the premises will be returned to their original condition at the termination of the tenancy or the disability.
I am in escrow to purchase a small building in Huntington Beach. During our inspection, we noticed that every unit had a barbeque on their patio. Now, I like to barbeque as much as the next person, but I’ve seen my tenants do some really dumb things over the years and I’m not sure I want my tenants barbequing on their patios. Is there anything I can do to prevent this, or put some rules around it to avoid them burning
down the building?
Start by looking at the leases. Most landlords, through the lease, prohibit the use or storage of barbeques on patios or balconies due to the stringent California laws on the topic which strictly regulate this topic. For example, in buildings with three or more units, the barbeque must be no less than ten feet away from any flammable surface or structure unless the balcony or patio has a fire suppression system installed, (i.e., sprinklers). Additionally, the only type of fuel that can be used with the barbeque are the one-pound propane bottles.
Once you close escrow, you are required to send the tenants a letter about the change in ownership and management. Consider addressing the matter in the same letter in a friendly manner. Since you can expect some pushback on the issue, see if you can develop a proactive Legal Q & A — continued on page 18
DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN
Dear Maintenance Men:
I’m getting a lot of false positives when it comes to maintenance requests. For example, the resident calls in with a maintenance issue or emergency and management calls out the appropriate trade to deal with the issue. Oftentimes it is not 1) an emergency; or 2) it is not even in the same category (i.e.: the resident calls in for a plumbing issue but the problem is actually electrical). It does not happen often, but often enough to notice. Josh
Dear Josh:
Part of the problem is not asking enough questions or the right questions when a resident calls in a maintenance issue. We find residents might exaggerate an issue or substitute a bigger emergency with a lessor issue just to get management to send out a technician faster.
When on the phone with the resident, always try to pin down the details of the issue. If it is plumbing, ask what room
the plumbing issue is in, which fixture, whether the problem is a drain stoppage or a cold/hot water issue. If it is a drain issue, ask if it is in the kitchen, is it the garbage disposer side or clear drain, or both. If it is in the bathroom, determine which drain, bathtub/shower, sink or toilet. If it is a hot or cold water issue, again, ask which room has the issue, such as kitchen, bath, laundry, or water coming up through the slab. Is the water gushing or dripping? A similar set of questions can be asked if the issue is electrical, such as which room; and is the problem with the switch or the receptacle? Also ask if they have tried to reset the breaker. A breaker issue might be a bad breaker or too many appliances plugged into one outlet.
The more questions you ask, the more precise the information. This allows you to make better decisions as to who will be called to deal with the maintenance issue. Armed with this knowledge will help determine if you call the in-house
maintenance tech or a professional outside contractor.
Dear Maintenance Men:
Everything seemed to be going fine at my building. I had not gotten a maintenance call in months and months. By chance, I stopped by the building and was horrified to find several unreported leaks and other damage. It is going to cost me several times more to repair the damage than it would have to do the initial repairs in the first place. Do you have any advice on preventing this from happening in the future? Bill
Dear Bill:
Inspection, prevention and routine maintenance are the most economical maintenance procedures that can be applied at one’s property. Frequent inspections of the interior and exterior of the property are a must. To start, give your residents an easy way to report maintenance issues, and as you collect rent, talk to the residents and ask about maintenance problems.
Set up an inspection calendar. As an example:
1. Once a month, drive by the property; look for anything out of the ordinary. Check the roof for tree branches, the grounds for broken sprinklers etc. Talk to the residents. Compare house water and electric bills from the previous months. A big difference in a bill will warrant further investigation.
B y J erry l’ e C uyer & f ran K a lvarez
2. Once a quarter, walk the property, check the laundry room, and turn on the sprinklers. Check the garages and carport areas. Talk to the residents.
3. Every six months to a year, set up an internal walkthrough of each unit. Check all faucets, drains, heaters and air conditioners. Open and close drawers, closets and windows. Check the smoke alarm. Be sure to take notes on each inspection. Reviewing old notes will help you determine wear and tear from possible tenant abuse.
4. As a preventive maintenance procedure, once a year hydro jet or snake out your main drains.
During the different inspections, you may want to invite trade contractors such as a roofer to inspect the roof, or a HVAC company to inspect the heating & air conditioning. Many times, the trade contractors may offer the inspection as a free service. This will allow you to budget and prioritize your approach to the repairs. Using skilled trades’ people, you can cover more areas in less time and your chances of missing something will be reduced. By using a calendar and reviewing your notes before each inspection, you will develop a systematic approach to your building maintenance and avoid surprises. These simple measures will save you thousands of dollars in the long run, and remember, preventive maintenance will help reduce costly emergency repairs.
Dear Maintenance Men:
I am a new maintenance technician, and I have just been hired at a large apartment complex. I am not the only maintenance tech, so, I want to stand out to my supervisors. I don’t want to be low man on the totem pole for long. What do you suggest I do to be noticed as an outstanding maintenance technician? Tomas
Dear Tomas:
Ninety percent of a job is showing up!
Of course, that is not enough, so here are a few suggestions. After showing up on time every day, make sure you are presentable every day. Low man on the totem pole often gets the worse jobs; don’t complain, do them, do them fast and do them right, and let your supervisor know when you are done. The phrase, “It’s not my job” does not exist in your vocabulary! While walking around the property, when you see trash in the bushes, stop and pick it up—every time. If you have special skills, don’t

My Soapbox: Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina!
This summer, Argentina made headlines when President Javier Milei repealed the country’s rent control restrictions. Not surprisingly, housing availability skyrocketed by some 200% and rents have already started to gently decline. None of this really comes as a surprise, as statisticians and economists across the globe have studied and written about it for decades, but it’s a validation for those of us on the frontlines of the battle of common sense versus extremism who have tried to educate policymakers on the perils of price controls. The ongoing feud between free market capitalism and the price controls of Marxist socialism, as well as that of fact versus feelings, is one that is long on hope and short on results—positive results, that is.
Can’t Fix Stupid
Facts be damned…It sounds good! say the activists. “I don’t believe that it won’t help!” Well, look at New York,
Oakland, San Francisco, Santa Ana and Santa Monica. Punitive to property owners? No doubt. Helpful from a housing affordability perspective? Hardly. And yet, for some reason, a political elitist out of Los Angeles thinks he knows better than everyone else. All that time and money that could’ve been better spent on building affordable housing (or, frankly, maintaining the housing that is owned by his own foundation).
Dumb and…Dumber?
We are on a slippery slope where a consistent erosion of property rights has continued to chip away at our abilities to run our businesses and our properties without government interference. One might think that the government, at various levels, endeavors to be our “partner” without actually investing any money or sharing/taking the risk that we take as owners. Certainly, the folks elected to serve and represent us feel this way. Across local, state and federal offices, our elected officials are failing us—vilifying business, industry and real estate—forgetting that we are the solution to the problem not the scapegoat, and in the process, failing to accept and acknowledge their role in the process.
The Bad Guys?
Some people believe that private capital is the problem and that if investors were somehow restricted or prevented from acquiring multiple properties,
housing costs would be lower. That’s not a case for or against rent control, that’s a case against capitalism and against property rights. Investors using or pooling (risking) their own money to acquire, maintain and provide housing for a cost to renters are providing a much-needed resource to the community. These ignorant views fail to acknowledge the significant barriers to entry in the for-sale market and grossly overestimate the ownership of smaller rental properties by corporations. You take on disproportionate risk, unprecedented cost burdens and expense overruns related to owning and operating a business and that’s all before the tax consequences. Now, they want to tell you what you can charge, when you can or can’t raise your prices and somehow villainize you over your sacrifices, luck and successes made to own property? Thanks to Mr. Milei, Argentina got it right. Will California voters? Fight back on Election Day by voting NO on Prop 33, and YES on Prop 34.

New Federal Rule to Replace Lead Service Lines
The new rule looks to replace all lead pipes within 10 years.
from the National Apartment Association
On October 8, 2024, the Biden Administration released an update on its Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan to replace every lead pipe in the U.S. within 10 years. A prominent feature of this announcement is the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) final rule issued the same day. While the rule focuses on public water systems, there may be downstream impacts on rental housing providers. This rule requires covered water systems and governmental entities to update their inventories of lead service lines, identify all unknown service lines, and replace lead service lines or certain galvanized service lines within 10 years. As part of the final LCRI service line replacement plan requirement, water systems must include a strategy to achieve full replacement of lead and galvanized service lines, including at rental properties and with limited exceptions.
The rule also strengthens drinking water sampling requirements and procedures, notably lowering the lead action threshold from 15 μg/L to 10 μg/L to require more water systems to take action sooner to control corrosion. In the rule, the EPA urges the importance of public education to keep both renters and housing providers informed of water systems’ plans and encourage granting access for replacements. While the federal government banned the installation of lead service lines in 1986, the EPA estimates that nine million homes are still connected to water mains through lead service lines.
As part of the October 8 White House announcement, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) also committed to invest over $420 million in new grants to remove lead hazards from homes and HUD-assisted properties which could help governmental entities
defray housing providers’ costs. Additional federal funding is available to support lead pipe replacement projects and EPA has developed a website identifying available funding sources.
The National Apartment Association (NAA) continues its advocacy to urge federal regulators to balance their housing priorities with the resulting financial and administrative costs of overregulation. 93 cents of every rent dollar covers necessary operational expenses— including maintenance, insurance and staffing—and goes back to local communities through property taxes. Even seemingly minor changes to housing providers’ federal compliance responsibilities could have major impacts on their ability to effectively operate their rental communities for their residents.

Special
Getting Organized: The Power of Tools
Welcome to the second part of my new series, where we dive into the ongoing learnings from our Estate & Legacy Planning workshops. This series aims to be interactive and practical, offering big-picture insights while ensuring participants leave with a solid framework for their estate plans and actionable steps for themselves and their advisors.
In this article, we’ll focus on “Getting Organized.” We’ll discuss effective methods for gathering and arranging your information, as well as traditional ways to securely store this information.
One of the key lessons I’ve learned so far is the difference between merely writing a plan and executing it. While we’ve developed many interactive tools that can be filled out manually or digitally using Excel or Word, we needed a way to bring it all together. Having the data is one thing, but being able to access it easily, store it securely, make changes, and share it with key members of your team is crucial. It’s all too easy
BY TIM GORMAN, REAL ESTATE BROKER/ CPA/ENTREPRENEUR/ AUTHOR
to get lost in different versions and storage devices.
The solution is our new online tool, the “Estate & Legacy Builder Tool.” This tool guides participants through important questions and concepts, allowing you to save changes easily and share your plan with your team—executors, attorneys, and family. This tool will save you time and ensure your wishes are clearly communicated. As the class progresses, we will continue to refine this tool to maximize its usefulness for everyone.
The tool operates in the cloud, utilizing Google Forms and Sheets technology. While many are cautious about storing sensitive information online, it’s important to adapt as technology evolves. Here are some pros and cons of online versus offline data storage and management:

Enhance Your Apartment Building’s Earthquake Safety: Safeguard Your Investment & Boost Appeal
Many older apartment buildings do not meet current earthquake safety standards and often lack the modern amenities tenants seek. If your building was constructed before the mid-1970s, upgrading both its structural safety and interior design is highly recommended.
Seismic Upgrades with Modern Enhancements
Seismic retrofits provide a prime opportunity to modernize the building’s interior. By opening up spaces, maximizing natural light, and enlarging key areas like kitchens and bathrooms, we enhance both functionality and appeal. Incorporating sustainable materials and energy-efficient appliances caters to today’s eco-conscious tenants.
Do you know…
AAOC Membership Counselors are on hand to give members general guidance to help with day to day operations of your property?
Cost Efficiency and Minimal Disruption
Addressing structural flaws with a seismic retrofit is crucial for protecting your investment and mitigating liability. Such upgrades can be executed with minimal disruption to tenants. Coordinating retrofits with other renovations can reduce costs and streamline the construction process. Combining projects minimizes redundancy, shortens management time, and optimizes the use of equipment, staffing, and storage.
Revitalize Living Spaces
Buildings from the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s often feature compartmentalized layouts. Transforming these spaces involves removing unnecessary partitions and repurposing areas to enhance functionality. Open-plan designs, multipurpose rooms, and expanded private spaces can accommodate modern living needs and multi-generational households.
Integrate Outdoor Elements
Consider how the building’s exterior can enhance the interior. Large windows, terraces, and balconies can bring natural light inside and extend living areas outdoors. Thoughtful integration of landscaping and outdoor spaces can significantly improve tenant satisfaction.
Embrace Sustainability
Adapting and retrofitting older buildings is a sustainable choice. It avoids the environmental impact of demolition and new construction while preserving

community character. Incorporating sustainable materials such as iron, wood, recycled aluminum, and plastic into your renovation can create distinctive and modern accents.
Upgrade Utilities and Incorporate Smart Technology
If electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems need upgrades, addressing these simultaneously with your retrofit is prudent. This approach prevents future disruptions and integrates the latest efficiency standards. Additionally, consider incorporating smart technology to enhance convenience and appeal. Features like remote control for lighting and climate control are highly attractive to today’s tenants.
By upgrading your apartment building’s earthquake safety and modernizing its design, you not only protect your investment but also increase its marketability.

The Rise of Tenant Unions
BY MERCEDES SHAFFER, REALTOR
Tenant unions, once a niche movement, are now a powerful force across California. Fueled by rising housing costs, a widening income gap, and social media-driven activism, these unions are rallying renters to push for tighter rent controls, stricter eviction protections, and more expansive tenant rights. As they gain momentum, tenant unions are also driving a narrative that portrays housing providers as greedy and exploitative, creating a divisive “us versus them” mentality that can have real financial consequences for property owners.
The Impact on Property Values and Rents
As tenant unions grow in power, the financial landscape for property owners is changing. Here’s how this shift is likely to affect the California rental market in cities where local rent controls continue to expand.
Suppressed Rent Growth
Tenant unions are aggressively lob-
bying for more restrictive rent control policies, limiting the ability of owners to raise rents in line with market rates. Housing providers are already feeling the financial strain, and over time, the gap between rental income and fair market value will only widen, making it harder for owners to keep up with inflation and maintenance costs.
Depressed Property Values
In markets where rent control is prevalent, property values often stagnate or decline as they are determined by income and cash flow. Investor interest in these areas diminishes due to decreased profit potential and higher regulatory risks. If California continues down this path, property owners could see significant reductions in their asset values.
Increased Compliance Costs
Strong tenant unions also push for regulations that impose additional costs on property owners, such as mandatory improvements, tenant concessions, and
lengthy legal battles. These added expenses can erode profitability and make it difficult for owners to maintain their properties.
Learning from New York: A Cautionary Tale
New York City offers a stark warning for what could happen in California if tenant unions continue to grow unchecked. Over decades, tenant unions in New York successfully lobbied for some of the nation’s most restrictive rent control laws, leading to severe consequences.
Rigid Rent Controls
New York’s rent stabilization laws cap rent increases well below market rates, resulting in stagnant rental income for property owners. In many cases, housing providers are forced to operate at a loss or neglect necessary property upgrades due to the lack of financial incentive.
Public Hostility Toward Housing Providers
In New York, the public narrative is heavily skewed against property owners, who are often portrayed as exploitative. This perception has made it increasingly difficult for housing providers to advocate for balanced policies, as public sentiment and political will overwhelmingly favor tenant protections.
Investor Flight and Declining Property Values
As rent control policies have tightened, many investors have pulled out of New York, leading to depressed property values in rent-stabilized areas. This exodus has stifled innovation and investment in housing, leaving behind a less competitive market.

include loss from fire, floods, or theft.
• Less Convenient: Requires access to the master file without the ease of digital tools.
On a personal note, I ultimately transitioned from using Excel sheets to an online password service. The benefits simply outweigh the risks, and I’m happy I made the change—I’ve never looked back. Is this right for you? That decision is entirely yours!
Conclusion If California follows New York’s lead, property owners could face a similar environment where tenant unions hold significant influence, and the economic realities of running a rental business are sidelined in favor of tenant-friendly policies. To navigate this evolving landscape, property owners must take proactive steps to protect their investments by engaging in advocacy and policy discussions with local government officials and city council members. The rise of tenant unions in California is a growing challenge that housing providers cannot afford to ignore. As these groups gain influence and public sentiment increasingly supports tenant-friendly policies, property owners must prepare

Should the Federal Reserve Remain an Independent Government Agency?
It is widely expected that on September 18th the Fed will embark on a series of interest rate cuts.
Needless to say, Federal Reserve interest rate policy has massive impact on the prodigious U.S. economy, projected to finish 2024 with $25.7 trillion in GDP.
Aside from its role as manager over the U.S. banking system, the Fed also establishes the baseline interest rate for the nation—the Fed Funds rate. That’s the rate banks pay to borrow from the Fed, which ultimately trickles down into lending rates charged to consumers and businesses. These roles give the Fed tremendous influence over financial markets. It is sometimes said that the chairperson of the Federal Reserve is the second most powerful person in the world.
But recent history relating to inflation has prompted questions, particularly during this presidential election season, about whether there might be too much concentration of power in the Fed and if it might better serve the country to have the interest rate setting apparatus be partially shifted to the executive branch.
It was early 2021 when inflation signals began bubbling up as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from a benign 1.7% annual rate in February to suddenly 5.4% in June, a 317 percent jump in four months. Some prominent market observers at the time began questioning the Fed for not taking immediate action to stem further inflationary growth.
Responding to the growing clamor for action, Fed chair Jerome Powell famously commented in June 2021 that upticks in inflation were thought to be “transitory” phenomena, likely reflecting temporary supply chain bottlenecks and that recent upward inflation metrics were likely to soon wane.
Thus, instead of raising rates to slow demand for goods and services, the traditional tool to choke off rising inflation, the Fed stood pat, leaving the Fed Funds interest rate anchored near 0%.
As we now know, inflation did not abate in 2021. On the contrary, CPI climbed to 7% by year end and then reached a forty-year high of 8.5% in March 2022, at which point chair Powell finally acknowledged that the Fed had underestimated the strength of inflationary forces. A dramatic change in Fed policy ensued, resulting in eleven consecutive interest rate hikes from March 2022 through July 2023, a 525 basis points (5.25%) rate spike in total, which left real estate markets dazed and disrupted and sales transactions at a relative trickle. It is this particular economic turbulence that is thought to be the primary impetus for voices challenging the wisdom of Fed independence to determine interest rate policy.
(It should be noted here that the Fed’s 2022 and 2023 rate hikes eventually had their desired effect, with August 2024 CPI down to a more palatable 2.5% annual rate; the Fed’s announced inflation target is 2%.)
Returning to the original question
and in light of our recent inflation experience, would a revised system giving the U.S. president a say in structuring interest rates, be better suited to manage the nation’s monetary policy?
My answer is a firm, “No”, due to conflict of interest issues that would invariably impact a president’s attitude about interest rates. Lower rate environments make for happier citizens, which in turn makes life easier, at least in the short term, for whoever occupies the Oval Office. Former President Trump is the most recent to lobby for the executive branch to have a formal hand in determining interest rates (but previous U.S. presidents have also done so). Especially when running for re-election, presidents would be tempted to take advantage of any leverage they held over interest rates.
Congress got it right when it created the Fed as an independent agency in 1913 to guide and protect the long-term economic welfare of the country in a non-partisan, impartial fashion. Yes, the Fed is subject to misreading market conditions from time to time (which institution isn’t?), but can anyone else realistically match the data, intellectual prowess, and financial experience of the Federal Reserve to manage the allimportant U.S. interest rate environment?
In the final analysis, a presidential power to participate in crafting interest rates would diminish the precious system of checks and balances that helps keep the U.S. at the head of the pack among nations.

units be affordable—7% of which for low-income renters and 3% for very low-income renters. In Orange County, a family of four would be considered low-income making up to $126,250 per year, and very-low-income would be up to $78,900 per year. In lieu of dedicating units to affordable housing, developers could choose to pay a $10 per square foot fee to the city which would be used to finance affordable housing development in the future.
Stricter Energy Efficiency and Environmental Regulations
Sustainability in multi-family communities has become another focus of lawmakers and regulators in recent years. Many states and cities have enacted or are considering stricter energy efficiency standards, many of which could require retrofits or structural reconfigurations to accommodate compliance. Mandates for electrical
panels, air conditioning, electric ranges, and boilers are just some of the items facing expanded regional and statewide oversight in the coming year.
The costs of complying with these environmental mandates can be overwhelming for property owners, particularly those with older buildings that require significant upgrades. Although some local, regional and state regulatory bodies offer subsidies or incentives to ease the financial burden, the scope and scale of the required changes are often beyond the reach of smaller landlords.

Navigating California’s legal and regulatory landscape requires landlords to stay informed, engaged and vigilant. Joining an industry association that advocates for balanced regulations that consider both resident needs and property owners’ rights is essential. As a member of AAOC, you are already in a better position than many other rental housing providers. The association will continue to serve as your voice and advocate, but you also play a critically important role in helping policy makers and regulators fully understand the realities you face as housing providers and business owners. In the coming year, AAOC will be asking you to help better equip it with information, stories, and evidence that will allow it to continue effectively representing you and your interests in this increasingly treacherous landscape. Stay tuned for more information on this in the coming months.
