Connecting in Real Time Through Membership Meetings

To begin my President’s Message this month, I’d like to start by thanking all the Veterans who have served our great country. This Veteran’s Day, please be purposeful and take a moment to thank any Veterans whom you know or encounter for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice in service to our country and the protection of the freedoms and security that we enjoy. In fact, ANY time you have the chance, I’d encourage you to shake the

hand of any Veteran you encounter, if for no other reason than to say, “Thank you for your Service!” God Bless America!”

On the AAOC front, I’d like to take a moment to emphasize the importance of attending our in-person General Membership Meetings. The benefits of attending these meetings aren’t just the timely and relevant information you’ll receive while there, but also in the personal connections you make both before and after the meeting itself.

It’s true. I’ve witnessed it around me and experienced it personally! I deeply appreciate all the members who have reached out to me after our meetings this year. I have many fond memories of when my family and I lived in Fallbrook, and we would drive up to attend the AAOC General Membership Meetings. It was always a late-night drive back home from the meeting, but it was more than worth the lifelong friendships my parents made with their fellow association members.

Lastly, I want to remind you to visit

the AAOC website—www.aaoc.com— where we work to provide our members with the latest news, legislative alerts, event information, and other resources. For instance, under the “Resources” tab alone, you can access our Operational Forms, our Resident Screening, Positive Rent Reporting and Livable RUBS services, our Career Center to connect multifamily industry employers and job seekers, 2025/26 CPI Update, Immigration Guidance, our Supplier Directory, Apartment News Magazine online archive, and more.

As always, I want to thank you for your continued membership and for the opportunity to serve this influential and instrumental Association!

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Refrigerators and Stoves. New Law Places Obligation Upon Housing Providers

This article is a must read for rental housing providers in California, as well as industry suppliers that specialize in the maintenance, repair, or replacement of refrigerators and stoves. For the housing providers, it will require changes in your business practices that you should begin preparing for before the end of the year.

AB 628 (McKinnor) was signed into law by the governor last month and will require every residential rental unit, for leases entered into, amended, or extended, on or after January 1, 2026, to have a working stove and refrigerator, with certain exceptions, to be deemed habitable.

The law provides that a dwelling is deemed untenantable, in relation to an owner’s duty to ensure that the premises is intended for human habitation and fit for occupancy, if it lacks either:

• A stove that is maintained in good working order (which is not defined) and is capable of safely generating

heat for cooking purposes. Further, it specifies that a stove that is subject to a recall by a manufacturer is not capable of safely generating heat for cooking purposes.

• A refrigerator that is maintained in good working order (once again, this term is not defined) and capable of safely storing food. It specifies that a refrigerator that is subject to recall by the manufacturer is not capable of safely storing food.

Of noteworthy importance, the law requires an owner to repair or replace a stove or refrigerator within 30 days written notice by the tenant should that appliance not safely generate heat for cooking purposes or safely store food in a refrigerator. This new requirement will prove to be problematic in circumstances where replacement parts and/or scheduling technicians to diagnose and/or repair the appliance cannot be made within 30 days.

Should one stove burner fail to be in

PAVING COMPANY, INC.

“good working order” and the owner/ agent receives a 30-day written notice, will the owner/agent be forced to replace the whole stove on the 31st day? We simply cannot answer that question. Will this encourage tenants to offer a new claim of habitability before a court? This type of claim is entirely possible. The law requires the following statement in substantially the following form: “Under state law, the landlord is required to provide a refrigerator in good working order in your unit. By checking this box, you acknowledge that you have asked to bring your own refrigerator and that you are responsible for keeping that refrigerator in working order.”

The refrigerator issue does not stop there. Pursuant to the new law, tenants will have the right to unilaterally decide that owners are to provide a refrigerator upon a 30-day written notice. Dead stop. Owners/agents cannot condition a tenancy upon the tenant providing their own refrigerator. And, if it is of any consequence, owners/agents will not be responsible for the maintenance of a refrigerator provided by the tenant.

What did the author of the bill say to justify the need for the bill? Most people expect a “working stove and refrigerator in a rental unit especially given that these basic necessities are difficult to move in and out of a dwelling. However, according to a 2022 article in the Los Angeles Times, it appears that not all landlords provide these basic

ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE WATCH

Election Cycles Starting Earlier and Earlier

It was late July/early August when we started hearing that there would be a special election this November to propose Congressional redistricting in California. The outcome of that election will have likely been decided by the time you read this article. It was also around that same time that I received my first phone call from someone running for office. Receiving the call wasn’t unusual. However, this call was a little different in one glaring way—

The election for which the individual is running isn’t until 2028!

Between now and then, there are three elections:

• November 2025—Special Election on Redistricting

• June 2026—Gubernatorial Primary Election

• November 2026—General Election

...And then another 18 months or so until their election.

This also doesn’t count the two other

special elections that have been held since the phone call.

Admittedly there are plenty of candidates who open campaign committees early for potential runs for office in the coming election cycle. However, this phone call struck me as a little premature. And then...

I started to receive more calls from city council members, candidates for school board, state legislative candidates, water board—you name it—all with races that aren’t going to occur until 2028.

Typically, around this time, I expect to receive calls from incumbents that are gearing up for a reelection run the following year. In fact, those calls started this past January. But to be receiving calls from candidates whose name won’t appear on a ballot for another three years—that surprised me.

Which brings me back to a point I’ve covered previously in this column —What is happening in your community that could affect your business— and how are you ensuring that the right people get elected who will likely pass laws governing your business? From rent control to property inspections, those decisions are made locally. Now is your chance to get engaged.

What Cities Could Implement Rent Control Style Policies?

Beyond what the state has done regarding rent caps (control), any charter city could choose to implement its own rent control restrictions like Santa Ana did in 2021.

So, how many charter cities are there?

In Orange County, we have the cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Placentia, and Santa Ana. That’s 9-out-of-34 cities that could implement rent control measures stricter than the rent caps enacted in 2020 under AB 1482. Many of these cities are unlikely to follow such a path, but others have had discussions, and even those that are not charter cities have discussed ways they could effectuate similar controls.

In Riverside County, there are the cities of Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Norco, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and Riverside. That’s 8-out-of-28 cities that operate as charter cities.

Also worth noting is that three Orange County cities are currently discussing becoming charter cities—Fullerton, Fountain Valley, and Laguna Beach.

So, there are a number of cities that could go down this path should they choose.

What Can You Do About This?

The easiest part here is learning what can be done. It is a simple process:

• Visit the websites for each of the cities where you own/operate rental properties.

• Click on the tabs that will take you to the city council page.

• Look up which council members are up for re-election.

• Reach out to them and ask for a meeting.

• Share with them AAOC’s candidate questionnaire (available on our website).

• Ask who their opponent is…or if they have one.

• Reach out to their opponent, as well, and share the questionnaire with them, too.

• Ask all candidates that you share the questionnaire with to submit it online to AAOC.

After that, it is about keeping in communication with the candidates and making sure they understand the industry—and how policies affect you:

• Consider sharing with them issues like insurance premium increases

and/or non-renewals.

• Invite them to your rental property and share with them challenges you’ve faced operating in their city.

• Provide them with stories about property management that personalize the business for them.

Honestly, it is about building that relationship that enables us to be successful in fighting back against harmful regulations to our industry.

Further Options to Consider

When we identify great candidates, it becomes important to support them. We do that through the AAOC PAC, and you can help by contributing online along with your fellow members at www.aaoc.com/political-action-committees.

However, you may find that the candidates out there aren’t as good on our industry’s issues as you might like. In which case, you could really make a difference by:

• Engaging with local political parties to find candidates that understand and support our industry and its ideals and encouraging them to run.

• Looking into and participating in your city’s “Leadership” program— often run by the chamber of commerce—to learn how you can better impact government decisions.

• Researching programs like the California Policy Center’s California Local Elected Officials program that engages people and elected officials in the process of running for and holding elected office.

AAOC is constantly looking for great leaders, and we encourage you to participate in whatever way makes the most sense for you and your business. Let us know how we can help guide your future in protecting this industry. Reach out to us at (714) 245-9500 or advocacy@aaoc.com.

LEGAL CORNER

Questions & Answers

I have an elderly tenant who is on a fixed income (Social Security). While she has never had a problem paying rent, I recently read something about the governor signing a new law into effect that would allow her to raise a government shut down as a defense if she was unable to pay her rent as a result of that shutdown. Can you explain the details of that law?

Thankfully, the new law isn’t an affirmative defense that can be raised any time the government faces a shut down. However, the law, known as the Social Security Tenant Protection Act of 2025, does provide an affirmative defense to an eviction for non-payment of rent in certain specific situations. Specifically, the law authorizes a residential tenant to assert a “Social Security hardship” as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer proceeding based on nonpayment of rent. Where that tenant faces a loss of income due to an interruption in the payment of Social Security benefits

due to the action or inaction of the federal government. In that situation, the tenant will be required to provide evidence that Social Security payments typically received by the tenant’s household have been terminated, delayed, or reduced due to no fault of the tenant and that the hardship prevented the tenant from paying the rent.

In those situations where the tenant can meet that burden, the law would require the court to temporarily pause the eviction. The law does not relieve a tenant of their obligation to pay past due rent and, instead, requires a tenant to either pay all past due rent or enter into a mutually agreed upon payment plan with the owner within 14 days of the Social Security benefits being restored.

Just heard the geniuses up in Sacramento felt compelled to “level the playing field” between owners and tenants by implementing a new law that requires landlords to provide both stoves and refrigerators in all rental units. I also heard that if I don’t do so, the unit will be deemed “uninhabitable.” Am I hearing things correctly? What should I be doing and when does this take effect?

The new law, (which applies to leases entered into, amended, or extended on or after January 1, 2026) significantly alters traditional habitability requirements by adding two new elements under Civil Code §1941.1(a). Specifically, the new law states a residential rental unit that

lacks a stove, (maintained in good working order and capable of safely generating heat for cooking purposes) and/or a refrigerator, (maintained in good working order and capable of safely storing food) would render the dwelling “untenantable.” Additionally, a stove or refrigerator that is subject to a recall (by the manufacturer or public entity) is deemed not capable of safe function, thereby triggering a duty to repair or replace the recalled appliance within 30 days of the notice of the recall.

While the law prohibits the landlord from conditioning the tenancy on the tenant providing their own refrigerator, it does permit the owner and tenant to agree in writing in the lease, (using specific statutory language) that the tenant may provide and maintain their own refrigerator. In that case, the landlord is not responsible for maintaining that refrigerator. However, the lease must also provide language notifying the tenant that they may, with 30 days written notice, notify the landlord that they no longer want to provide their own refrigerator and, in that situation, the landlord will be required to install a good working refrigerator by the end of the 30-day notice period.

There are a few exemptions, including permanent supportive housing, singleroom occupancies that provide living and sleeping space for the exclusive use of the occupant, units in residential hotels, a dwelling unit within a housing facility that offers shared or communal

kitchen spaces to its residents, including those within assisted living facilities.

There are several foreseeable challenges owners will face that courts will need to resolve, including questions such as: What will qualify as a “stove” or “refrigerator” under the statute? Will there be specified size, insulation, safety ratings standards? What constitutes “good working order”? Is occasional minor malperformance a breach by the owner? Can an owner create a lease provision that allocates liability if a tenant abuses an appliance (e.g. improper use)? Moreover, landlords can anticipate local municipalities and their habitability enforcement agencies implementing additional regulations.

Owners would be wise to start considering and drafting their new policies ahead of time. For example, how will the owner handle notice requirements, (i.e., what notice must tenants provide regarding a problem and how long will an owner have to repair clock before their efforts are deemed to be an “unreasonable delay”? More importantly, will an owner’s inability to source parts or make repairs in a time period deemed “reasonable” by the tenant trigger their ability to use the “repair and deduct” remedy which would allow them to deduct any repair or purchase costs from their rental obligations?

My wife and I just purchased a four-plex with existing long-term tenants. While things have transitioned very smoothly for the most part, we have one tenant who continues to call the health department with ticky-tacky complaints about his unit. On top of that, he refuses to allow us inside to make any repairs after he files the complaint, even though we are serving 24-hour notices! One day while I was at the property trying to discuss the situation with me, he told me that he wants to leave California and will continue to turn me in to the county unless I pay him $80,000 to fund his out-of-state transition! How do we handle this type of situation?

Don’t you just love the “not so subtle” attempt to extort you into subsidizing his move? First, review your lease for a provision requiring him to cooperate with your efforts to maintain and repair the unit. Assuming that provision exists, you should serve two notices simultaneously. Specifically, serve him both a 3-day cure covenants notice and a 24-hour notice that specifically states you are coming in to “provide necessary services” and “make necessary repairs.” The cure covenants notice should include the specific language of the provision he is violating, the dates on which he previously denied access, and the demand that he allow you access during the 3-day period. Then attempt to enter the unit during the 3-day period. If possible, try to enter each of the three days to avoid a claim that he would have allowed access on the one day you didn’t attempt to enter the unit. If he fails to allow access within the notice period, immediately file an eviction action. In my experience, health inspectors understand these type of recalcitrant tenants and their games and, generally, work with owners by providing them extensions to comply while the owner works through the eviction process.

A few months ago I had a couple (call them John and Jane) sign a one-year lease on a single-family home. Unbeknownst to me, shortly after they moved in, they split up and Jane moved out. While the rent was initially paid in full, it wasn’t long before John fell behind and called me to let me

know what had happened. He was able to come up with the rent last month, but he is now a week late on this month’s rent and hasn’t made any attempt to contact me. I emailed his ex, but she told me that she had vacated a couple months ago and didn’t owe me anything more than she has already paid. How do I get my property back and recover the money owed? Does she owe me anything at all? Should I name her in the eviction, since she moved out?

First, since John hasn’t paid this month’s rent, you can, (and should) serve a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit, then file an eviction if he fails to pay it within the three-day notice period. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t name Jane in the eviction, since she already confirmed that she vacated and evictions are used against tenants who still occupy the premises.

Second, notwithstanding Jane’s position, both John and Jane are on the hook for the entire balance of the lease term, (unless you rent it to someone else after you regain possession). Even though Jane moved out, Jane is still jointly liable for the rent for the time left on the lease, and you can sue Jane for that unpaid rent (assuming you know where she moved so you can serve her).

Finally, keep in mind that you have a “duty to mitigate” your losses by attempting to re-rent the property as quickly as possible. Any rent you collect from a new tenant who occupies

Legal Q & A — continued on page 14

the house during the period John and Jane should have been renting it would have to be credited to John and Jane. On the other hand, if the new tenant is paying rent in an amount that is less than what John and Jane were paying, then John and Jane would still be liable for that shortfall for the term left on their original lease.

The information is presented and intended to address the topic(s) covered above in a

general nature. There may be significant differences between jurisdictions with “rent control” and/or “just cause” ordinances, and the facts surrounding your specific situation should be presented to your attorney for review.

appliances. (See e.g. Dillon, Liam, “Why do so many apartments come without fridges? Inside the chilling mystery,” Los Angeles Times, May 18, 2022.)

The sponsors of the bill wrote in their support letter: “Finding an affordable rental home in California is already extremely challenging for low-income renters. (Note: the new law exempts very low-income dwellings) Making people pay more just to be able to store and cook food can mean the difference between finding a home or not. California has outdated laws that classify basic household appliances as “amenities” instead of a necessary part of a rental home.”

The legislative analysis states…this “bill makes clear that working stoves and refrigerators are more than mere “amenities.”

There are many issues the new law brings to the forefront. What requirements can the owner/agent impose on tenants to ensure proper cleaning and maintenance of the appliances? What does the term “good working order” mean? Will owners be required to provide a refrigerator should the tenant unilaterally decide they do not want to provide their own during the tenancy? We hope to address these issues in new and revised operational forms very soon.

AAOC is presently working on and preparing to publish: 1) New lease addendum that will address the issue of changes to the habitability law regarding stoves and refrigerators; 2) New lease agreement that addresses the requirements; and 3) Amend “Move-In, Pre-Move-Out, and Move-Out” forms.

Keep your eyes open for announcements via email and this magazine when the forms are published and available for download.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

Our apartment building contains all two-bedroom, two-bath units. One of our residents is complaining that the hot water in the shower turns cold after five or so minutes while the other shower will give hot water for as long as needed. What’s the problem? Steve

Dear Steve:

Sounds like you have an anti-scald valve malfunctioning. An anti-scald valve prevents the user from getting burned or scalded by hot water when there is a drop in cold-water pressure, such as when a toilet is flushed. Some valves are built into the mixing valves, others are separate. Determine the valve brand and model and take that information to your local plumbing supplier. The supplier should be able to tell you what replacement parts are necessary.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I’m getting ready to purchase an apartment building that has 30-gallon water heaters in each unit. Some of the heaters look new, but most are old looking. How long do most heaters last and what are some signs of imminent failure? Bill

Dear Bill:

The chances of several heaters failing to perform all at once are very slim. The cost of replacement can be extended over time. The average life span of a typical 30- or 40-gallon water heater is about 10-to-12 years, some may last longer depending on use. A sign that the end may be near is banging noises coming from the heater, limited hot water use, or long heater cycle times. Flushing out an older water heater might give it more life by clearing out calcium deposits. Replace the zinc anodes to curb corrosion inside the tank. If there is calcium built up around the water lines, replace them. However, if you find water pooling at the base of the heater, replace the tank immediately as it has failed!

Too Many One Bedrooms

Ican still hear the words loud and clear, almost 35 years later. It was 1991 and my old man had started his own company a year or two earlier and was actively acquiring apartment buildings around Orange County. On some of my favorite days as a then nine-yearold kid, I got to go to work with him. Our days consisted of walking recent acquisitions, surveying the improvements underway, and then we would dedicate time to driving potential acquisitions— doing things like market/site research and walking the properties with listing brokers or onsite management. One property that we walked stood out to me as the clear favorite of the day. He asked for my thoughts, and I’ll never forget his response.

“I liked the third place we went to, did you?” I asked. “It was nice, but too many one bedrooms,” he said. What do you mean, Dad? It was then that I learned one of the most important lessons to be taught in our business. He went on to explain that because the apartment was smaller, it had limited potential for rent growth. It was not suitable for room-

mates and not allowable for large families so there was almost a built-in cap on rent growth. Two- and three-bedroom units, he would go on to explain, were far superior for these reasons. Not to mention, because the one-bedroom is smaller and generally seen as entry level, it is more transient with higher turnover. These words resonated with me and were further impressed upon me when I entered the business myself and lived it firsthand. Across companies, across markets and across property types, twoand three-bedroom units always stayed full, some with waiting lists of six-toseven years. One-bedroom units, on the other hand, always have higher turnover and lower rent growth potential. In one case in particular, I was outvoted by colleagues on an investment committee decision to pass on a one-bedroom heavy, 1970s asset in Austin, Texas. The hotshot MBA who drove the deal was so impressed with the property because of the low cost per unit, but it didn’t take spreadsheets to see what was coming. Needless to say, that deal didn’t pan out as the company had hoped.

I am reminded of the undesirable and transient nature of one-bedroom units in today’s market as we look around Orange County and see such a narrow gap between asking rents across submarkets. Sure, I am being cynical and overly dramatic, but the fact is, you can pretty much rent a one-bedroom apartment in any C+/B– location for between $2,000 to $2,200 a month, with many offering move-in specials of up to one

month’s rent. No specials on two-bedrooms and no real issue with two-bedrooms, but vacancy is up in onebedrooms across Orange County. And in our current AB 1482-regulated world, an owner is doing themselves a disservice by reducing their asking rent, considering the imposed rent caps penalize owners for responding to the market. We have, in essence, two responses: 1) manage through a shortterm cash flow dip as we work to rent the unit at the highest market rate; or 2) reduce our asking rents and risk taking two or three years to catch up with the market. Hence why we use concessions at select locations and based on applicant creditworthiness.

Our industry does a great job tracking and reporting occupancy rates at the macro level, but micro level reporting that would point to occupancy rate by unit type is virtually non-existent. So next time you drive by a building with a “Now Leasing | Move-In Special” sign, call and inquire as to the unit type. I bet you it’s a one-bedroom!

Estate & Legacy Planning Q&A Series

Legacy Planning Without the Overwhelm: How to Keep It Simple

Over the past two years, I’ve written books, dozens of articles, and taught classes exploring estate and legacy planning from nearly every angle, financial, legal, emotional, and caregiving. Lately, though, I’ve noticed a decline in engagement. People hesitate to start the process. Maybe it’s burnout from everything else going on in the world.

As I write this, the government has shut down again. Nobody really knows

how long it will last or what the final effects will be on jobs, paychecks, vacations, or daily life. You can blame anyone you like, or no one at all. The truth is, we still have to focus on what matters, our families, our health, and our future. Adding estate and legacy planning to the mix feels like one more thing to worry about, easy to push off to another day. The thinking goes: the heirs will get the assets, things will probably work out, a few extra taxes or minor conflicts

may happen, but overall, nothing too disastrous.

In theory, that sounds reasonable. And to some, it might be. But for anyone who has seen the aftermath of a poorly planned legacy, it is far from reasonable. Successors and family members can find themselves managing partnerships with siblings or others they never would have chosen, hunting for documents, and navigating a maze of attorneys, CPAs, and advisors to make sense of what should have been a straightforward plan. The government might take a large bite out of your hardearned legacy, and family disputes over trivial matters can magnify stress at a time that should be focused on honoring your life and values.

The duty of a successor trustee or executor is serious. It requires care, diligence, and attention, and failing to meet these responsibilities can carry financial consequences. Wrapping up an estate can take years, and the emotional toll can damage relationships that might otherwise have flourished for decades. Arguments over a lamp, a piece of jewelry, or a few extra dollars may seem trivial, but without proper guidance and planning, they become magnified.

So, what do you do if you are too tired or hesitant to dive deep into estate or legacy planning? My advice is simple: at the very least, do something. Do the minimum to ensure your heirs are positioned to avoid conflict, reduce taxes, and limit stress during a difficult

time. Legacy planning is about more than transferring money or property; it is about values, intentions, and relationships. Even a small amount of thought, organization, and documentation goes a long way.

For those who are ready to engage, even partially, a little effort can make a meaningful difference. You might not have the entire plan buttoned up, but organizing key documents, naming

successors, and clarifying your wishes provides a roadmap for your heirs. It helps ensure that your estate can be executed smoothly, taxes can be minimized, and, most importantly, family relationships are preserved. The difference between a poorly executed estate and a well-prepared one often comes down to years of stress avoided, conflicts mitigated, and peace of mind for everyone involved.

A few practical ways to simplify the process include creating a basic inven-

tory of assets, listing key contacts for accounts and advisors, and writing a short legacy letter outlining values and intentions. Even this small step can prevent the executor from scrambling to find documents or interpret vague wishes. You don’t need to solve every potential scenario in one sitting. Think of it as laying a foundation, you can build the more complex elements later when you are ready.

For families or individuals not ready for a full legacy plan, simplifying might be the best choice. Liquidating some assets, appointing neutral fiduciaries, or clearly documenting your wishes without complicated co-ownership structures can prevent unnecessary conflict. Sometimes less is more, and a thoughtful, streamlined plan is far better than a grandiose plan that no one can execute properly.

For those willing to take it further, the rewards are substantial. Clear communication with successors, thoughtful documentation, and even basic planning provide a meaningful gift to your family. Legacy planning done right preserves not just assets, but family cohesion, shared values, and a sense of purpose that can extend for generations.

In the next article, we will explore ways to make estate and legacy planning approachable without being overwhelming. We’ll look at practical tools, step-by-step methods, and strategies to engage family members without feeling like you are drowning in paperwork or financial complexity. The goal is to bridge the gap between families who are fully engaged and those who have been hesitant, showing that even small, intentional steps can have a lasting impact.

Three Tips for Getting the Most from Your Retrofit

It can be a little frightening, feeling the ground shift and sway under our feet. Rocking like a boat on stormy seas, we typically ask ourselves, “How much longer is this going to last; will it get bigger?” The truth in this response is that—in the back of our minds—we all know The Big One is lurking underground, ready to strike at any moment. When it does, we know, it could have devastating impacts on our financial security, injure us, or even worse.

So why don’t we do more to protect ourselves against the inevitable?

Many soft-story apartment owners put off their retrofits out of dread that they may experience issues with tenants, encounter problems with construction, or lose valuable parking spaces when time isn’t taken to develop an engineering design that minimizes impact on everyone, including the structure itself. Here are some helpful tips to alleviate these concerns, enabling you to get

the most out of your retrofit.

Preserve parking spaces

Many soft-story apartment owners worry that a seismic retrofit will mean the loss of parking spaces—both during and after construction.

This can happen if the design of the project is such that the steel moment frame or frames installed will take up

space that was otherwise dedicated to parking. These frames are necessary to absorb seismic ground motion and prevent swaying, but they can be placed in a manner that minimizes any impact on parking.

Generally speaking, with a little ingenuity and careful design, the vast majority of these spaces can be saved. Your engineering study, when done right, will identify the most effective

and economical option specific to your property. This also avoids permitting delays and/or the need for costly revisions in the future.

Parking can also be preserved during construction, by simply covering trenches at the end of each day so that tenants can drive over them and park in their usual spots at during non-work hours.

Minimize construction impacts

A lot can go wrong when proper steps aren’t taken to ensure a clean and

safe work site.

In retrofit construction—particularly for wood-framed, soft-story structures— unprotected trenches can present a safety hazard to construction workers and residents alike. A messy work area can also pose problems: impacting quality of life for tenants and presenting hazards as well.

Caution tape is not an adequate defense against mishaps and/or curious onlookers.

It’s important that the work area be kept tidy and all trenches covered at the end of the construction day. Keeping it orderly is the first step in protecting the safety of both workers and tenants. It also enhances workplace efficiency, adding to your chances of getting your project done on time, and on budget.

Hire a specialist

The passage of L.A.’s seismic retrofit law has resulted in a burst of startup companies and general contractors advertising themselves as retrofit experts.

This is important because general liability for contractors is based on a specific trade classification. Be sure that the company you hire is insured specifically for seismic retrofit work. If not, insurance companies may try to reject claims and liability could be passed on to you.

Also make sure your contractor has done at least five projects in the past year and verify the work by contacting the building owner or manager and doing an inspection of the site. Inspect the placement of structural elements and the impact of the retrofit on the use of the building. Did they lose a parking space in the process?

Some companies may present you with a certificate of worker’s compensation, but it’s important to check their status with the California Contractors State Licensing Board. Go to www.cslb.ca.gov, click on “check a contractor license,” search for the business name, click on the appropriate license number, then scroll down to the section dealing with

When State Power Trumps Local Rights

Huntington Beach has long prided itself on being a charter city, empowered to self-govern and set its own rules on local matters. But just as state rent control laws have already stripped housing providers of their ability to run their businesses freely, Sacramento’s reach now extends even further—undermining cities themselves and their right to decide how their communities grow and develop.

When State Power Crushes Community Choice

Huntington Beach fought back, refusing to comply with state directives that demanded the addition of thousands of new housing units, many designated as low-income. City leaders stood firm, arguing that their charter status gave them the authority to shape growth on their own terms. But Sacramento escalated the fight to the courts, and judges ultimately sided with the state, ruling that housing mandates imposed from the Capitol override local control. The decision left Huntington Beach on the losing side of the battle—further eroding both property rights and the ability of communities to govern themselves.

What It Means to Be a Charter City

Unlike general law cities, which operate strictly under California’s state laws, charter cities have a local constitution —their “charter”—that allows them to control municipal affairs, including zoning, land use, and planning. In theory, this gives them the freedom to

decide how their communities grow and change. Huntington Beach leaned heavily on this status in its battle with the state, arguing that local leaders— not bureaucrats hundreds of miles away—should determine what housing makes sense for the community. Sound familiar? Just like housing providers being told how to run their properties by officials who have never managed a single rental, cities are now being micromanaged from Sacramento.

Sacramento’s One-Size-Fits-All Housing Agenda

Sacramento has been relentless in pursuing a blanket housing policy. State lawmakers claim that forcing cities to build more housing—especially lowincome housing—will fix California’s affordability crisis. The reality is far more complicated. By overriding local control, the state is creating new problems for cities throughout California, where residents already grapple with traffic congestion, crowded schools, overburdened hospitals, and rising crime. Adding thousands of new housing units doesn’t just change the skyline—it alters the fabric of the community.

The Ripple Effects on Apartments and Developers

For the apartment industry, this clash has wide-reaching implications. Artificial quotas and governmentmandated construction can destabilize local markets, flooding neighborhoods with units priced below what the free

market would dictate. Developers may be forced to build projects that don’t make economic sense, while housing providers could face increased regulation tied to affordability requirements. This glut of artificially priced affordable housing can also push down market-rate rents, squeezing revenue for existing properties and discouraging reinvestment. By interfering with natural market forces, the state risks creating mismatched supply, higher costs, reduced flexibility, and diminished incentives for private investment in both new and existing rentals.

A Dangerous Precedent of Government Overreach

The bigger issue here is government overreach. California is chipping away at the independence of cities across the state, eroding the principle of local governance in favor of centralized mandates. Huntington Beach is just the latest—and most visible—example of this trend. And make no mistake: every city in California is being impacted. Communities are losing the ability to say, “this is who we are, and this is how we want to grow.” Instead, Sacramento decides.

Rising Costs and Risks for Housing Providers

Sacramento’s mandates for lowincome housing are creating an artificial market that disrupts the natural balance of supply and demand. By requir-

ing large amounts of new low-income units, the state is flooding the market with inventory that may not align with local needs or pricing realities. This glut doesn’t just impact new construction— it directly affects existing multifamily rentals, which now face competition from subsidized units that can undercut market rents. Housing providers are navigating a market distorted not only by new mandated units but also by state and local rent control laws that have long restricted their ability to manage existing properties. Profitability is squeezed, flexibility is reduced, and strategic planning becomes far more difficult. In effect, these top-down mandates— whether through rent control or construction quotas—interfere with both the natural market and local decisionmaking, producing unintended consequences such as financial strain on existing properties and a misalignment between the housing being built and what the community actually demands.

A Future of Fewer Choices

In the end, the state’s push may not just reshape Huntington Beach—it may fundamentally alter the way every community in California is allowed to govern itself. Just as state and local rent control laws have stripped housing providers of the ability to manage their own rental units, these housing mandates strip cities of the ability to make local decisions about growth and development. Once local control is gone— whether over existing rentals or new construction—it’s difficult, if not impossible, to regain. The result is a future where both communities and housing providers are forced to operate under a one-size-fits-all framework dictated from Sacramento, limiting flexibility, innovation, and the ability to respond to real market conditions.

Do you think Huntington Beach and other cities across California should have the right to decide how their com-

Keeping Apartments Mosquito-Free

Apartment communities present a number of issues when it comes to mosquitoes. Close living quarters mean that potted plants holding standing water in one apartment can breed mosquitoes that bite scores of other residents in the immediate vicinity. Unmaintained water features such as ponds, fountains, bird baths and sculptures can likewise serve as mosquito breeding grounds. Often overlooked breeding sources include yard drains, electrical vaults, rainwater barrels, and clogged drainage systems.

Mosquitoes such as the “ankle biter” (Aedes aegypti) and the southern house mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus) are now endemic to Orange County and can reduce your residents’ quality of life while potentially spreading deadly diseases such as West Nile virus, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and dog heartworm.

The good news is that keeping residents and onsite staff safe from mosquitoes isn’t rocket science, but it does require knowledge, focus and perseverance. Here are some tips to eliminate or at least keep mosquitoes at bay:

• Ensure that residents keep their outside areas clean. Aedes mosquitoes (a.k.a. “ankle biters”) only need a bottlecap full of water to breed and will lay their eggs on toys, dented soda cans, and even trash.

• Have maintenance personnel cover yard drains with a fine mesh cloth to keep mosquitoes from getting in and laying eggs.

• Whenever possible, remove saucers from under potted plants.

• Ensure that any standing water is dumped or drained weekly to prevent bacteria from growing that mosquito larvae need to become adults. This includes dumping out water from jars with rooted vegetables and lucky bamboo plants and replacing it with clean water. Another option is to put gravel or marbles in the water to prevent mosquitoes from being able to lay their eggs.

• Remove bromeliads and other plants that naturally hold water from your landscape. Always water bromeliads from the bottom of the plant.

You can also contact Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District for the following free services:

• Request mosquitofish to prevent breeding in large water features.

• Inspect the grounds for potential hidden breeding sources.

• Speak with our Vector Reduction Coordinator to address ongoing sources of standing water.

Data for the Marketplace

“New Age” Criteria in Forecasting Rents

Data aggregator RealPage indicates that Orange County apartment average rent was $2,888 in Q2 2025 (see adjacent chart). But where will rents be in six months, a year, three years from now?

You’d rightfully expect that the study of the future course of apartment rents would focus on market fundamentals like supply and demand, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation and the overall strength of the economy.

And yes, those basic elements will always be crucial keys to forecasting where rents are headed. However, a few non-traditional factors have surfaced in 2025 that could potentially play some role in shaping future multifamily rents. Below are three such new, on the scene, “wild card” factors thought to be potentially relevant:

1. Tariffs

2. Immigration/deportation policies

3. Data availability and quality

It should be noted that these three factors seem transitory in nature. However, as long as they continue to exist and attract the attention of markets, they may very well impact P&L’s and investor decisions. Let’s take them one at a time.

Tariffs

Obviously, tariffs do not involve the collection of apartment rents, but that doesn’t mean that tariff charges won’t

have ripple effects in the housing industry. As tariff cost add-ons percolate through the system, they could have indirect impact on the economy and trickle-down effects on consumers. If costs increase in the marketplace to account for tariffs, tenants could have less disposable income to spend on rental housing.

An additional tariff repercussion is the element of uncertainty that has fogged the marketplace to some degree due, in particular, to the numerous changes in tariff amounts that have been rolled out post “Liberation Day” (April 2nd). As has long been said, “markets hate uncertainty,” which begs the question, “Are developers delaying decisions to move forward on multifamily projects as they await more tariff clarity?” This gets into calculations about upcoming supply of new apartment units.

Immigration/Deportation Policies

It won’t be easy to determine how current U.S. immigration and deportation policies will, if at all, translate into occupancy rates and rents, but, as a general rule, if the marketplace of prospective tenants shrinks, vacancies become somewhat harder to fill and rent levels are likely to experience some downward pressure as a consequence.

As reported by NBC News, entering his second term, President Trump promised the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, targeting “10 million

unauthorized migrants living in the United States.” NBC further stated that the Customs and Border Protection agencies indicate that unauthorized southern border crossings have plummeted this year, citing just 135,515 crossings, January to August 2025, compared to 1,247,908 in 2024 over the same period. The drastic reduction in incoming unauthorized migrants implies impact of some kind within the rental housing environment.

Data Availability and Quality

With the U.S. government temporarily shutting down on October 1, 2025, it is unknown as of this writing when it will be back online. This means that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not have its normal capacity to generate important data that markets heavily rely on, like the jobs report and the consumer price index. Thus, to some extent, market analysts are “flying blind” for the moment on various critical data points.

A further data-related issue arose after President Trump’s sacking of the BLS commissioner on August 1, 2025, which occurred immediately following the BLS’s release of a discouraging jobs report for July 2025.

The report showed that the creation of new jobs was far below market expectations and also included sharp downward revisions in new jobs for the
