Your Voice Matters
Isimply cannot acknowledge, compliment, and recommend enough
Chip Ahlswede’s article in the September issue of Apartment News entitled, “The Intel You Need—That You’re Not Getting.”
His tripartite approach recommends the following:
• “First Step—Sign Up for Updates
• Second Step—Join, Attend, Lead
• Third Step—Learn and Interact.
BONA FIDE MORTGAGE
multi-family owners since 1983
In the article, he recommends calling your elected officials’ offices to provide your name and officially register your position on the bills at hand. Through personal experience and my own research, I can confirm that legislative offices do monitor, record, and tabulate correspondence on bills. And I am continuously impressed with the amount of time and resources they commit to hearing from their constituents. This only reinforces the title of this message, “Your Voice Matters.”

Ahlswede suggests making calls in addition to submitting emails as outlined in our association’s “Red Alert” email campaigns, which provide predrafted emails with a simple click of a link—that can then be emailed directly to the elected official.
Before you contact your legislators, I have one important request—be

I recently spoke with a real estate appraiser who held different political
philosophies than my own. He offered sage wisdom that I will remember for the rest of my days.
“We may belong to different political parties, but we are all people,” he said.
So, please, when communicating your points of view on bills to your legislators and their staff members, remember to treat them respectfully and with dignity.
Finally, in the past, I have referred members to the AAOC website for information and updates, but I’d also like to encourage you to read Apartment News cover to cover, each month, as Ahlswede’s recent contribution is an example of the many ideas worthy of keeping top-of-mind.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Legislature Set its Sights on Automated Decision Systems
The legislature has completed hearings and action on bills that were introduced this year. There is a lot of good news—and yes—some bad news, too.
One issue the legislature will not leave alone is the issue of automated decision systems. We will feature one of the biggest bills of the year, which thankfully was stopped on the final day the legislature met this year.
AB 1018 (Bauer-Kahn) would have regulated the use of “automated decision systems” (ADS). It would have placed significant obligations on developers and deployers (users of ADS) of such systems designed or used to make or facilitate “consequential decisions.”
Current law pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants consumers a bundle of rights with regard to their personal information, including enhanced notice, access, and disclosure; the right to deletion; the right to restrict the sale of information; and protection from discrimination for exercising these rights. The Consumer Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) amends the CCPA and creates the California Privacy Protection Agency (PPA) which is charged with implementing these laws, promulgating regulations and carrying out enforcement actions. Existing law also establishes the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Unruh Civil Rights Act and defines “trade secret” as information including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that meets state law.
The bill requires all developers of a covered ADS that was first deployed, or made available to potential deployers before January 1, 2026, to conduct an initial impact assessment on the covered ADS before January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter. For covered ADS first deployed or made available on or after January 1, 2026 the developer shall conduct an impact assessment before initially deploying it or making it available to potential deployers and annually thereafter.
The bill would have also required developers that sell licenses or otherwise transfers a covered ADS to a potential deployer to provide that deployer with specified information which the deployer is required to follow. Developers would be authorized to make reasonable “redactions” from documentation to protect trade secrets and directs deployers to precisely follow forms and documentation. Developers would be required to designate at least one employee to oversee compliance and conduct prompt and comprehensive reviews of any credible compliance issue raised to that compliance employee.
Deployers would also be required to provide those that are covered an opportunity correct or dispute consequential decisions for which personal information was collected and processed (which has a remarkable impact on our industry should any owner or agent use ADS).
The bill also provides the conditions under which a deployer assumes
the responsibilities of a developer—a standard which would be very difficult to be compliant.
AB 1018 also provides that within 30 days of receiving a request from the state Attorney General (AG) for an impact assessment a developer or auditor or a covered ADS shall provide an unredacted copy of the document to the AG. The AG would be authorized to share these materials with other law enforcement entities.
The measure also authorizes enforcement actions against developers, deployers or auditors to be brought by public entities.
Courts would be authorized to award a prevailing plaintiff in such actions specified remedies, including a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation.
The author argued that the use of algorithms that power ADS are subject to unrepresentative data, faulty design, flawed structures, bad classifications etc. These “shortcomings can result in biased, discriminatory or unfair outcomes.” The author states that ADS can hurt the people they are meant to help. AB 1018, according to the author provides the necessary guardrails by regulating the development and employment of an ADS used to make consequential decisions. The Assembly Member further comments that ADS plays a consequential decision hidden from consumers. Consumers should “have the right to be well informed of how these ADS

Communicating with Difficult Residents
We’ve all had encounters with tenants that make our business challenging. You know the ones who create problems for their fellow residents, demand extra attention from onsite property management staff, or are self-credentialed lawyers who challenge any and every decision made related to the management of your rental community. If you haven’t yet experienced this—your time will come!
All joking aside, these scenarios happen everywhere, in every business, and in every organization. Communicating with challenging residents in challenging situations requires an additional level of calm demeanor, assertiveness without being aggressive, and a focus on building a long-term relationship of mutual respect.

Recently, on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast, host Steven Bartlett welcomed attorney and speaking coach Jefferson Fisher on to discuss how to reframe your communication style—especially as it applies to individuals with whom you don’t get along—in a manner that focuses on achieving your goals and building a
better relationship with the individual. The full podcast can be found by following this link—https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=zsuOSDb7gzQ&t=3s or by going on YouTube and searching “Diary of a CEO Speaking Coach Jefferson Fisher. It first aired back in April of 2025. Truth be told, these exact techniques are what we employ at the Apartment Association of Orange County when interacting with government officials and staff in order to make sure your interests—as our members—are well represented and effectively communicated. The full podcast is over two hours long and well worth your time. That said, here is a quick guide to the key take aways from this podcast—and how you can apply them to your property management practice.
When Conflict Arises—Utilize Strategic Pauses
Often our first instinct in a conflict is to stand your ground and match energies. Philosophers from the Stoics to Machiavelli have long asserted that doing so gives away your power in the conversation. Rather than elevating your communication, take a moment and don’t react instantly. Instead, choose to take a quick moment to calmly pause and clarify with a neutral-toned comment asking the other person to clarify: “I didn’t catch that, could you please repeat it? Doing so shifts the focus back to the individual to reflect on how they are acting and instead offer a modified response that does not come across in such a con-

frontational manner. This pause and change in tone shifts the power back to you, signaling your composure and commands respect in the situation.
The Goal is to Build Agreement— Not Win the Argument
The tenant is likely to be a part of your community for several years. Knowing this allows you to prioritize the long-term relationship with the individual over “winning the argument.” Doing so effectively also establishes a baseline for mutual respect and prevents the tenant from focusing their attention on proving you wrong wherever possible. The best way to do so is through framing the interactions with the tenant in a manner that is focused on collaboration and with the intent of problem solving. Simply restating their demands back to them and identifying what has been done to attempt solving their issues, followed with a simple request of, “What am I missing in solving this problem?” puts the onus back on the tenant to further clarify or explain their needs. Once they have done so, restate the request back to the tenant with an emphasis on the desired outcome. This is a better path towards agreement than arguing with the individual.
Don’t Apologize—Be Firm and Assertive, Without Being Aggressive
Phrases such as “I am just trying to accomplish X” or “unfortunately we are required to do Y” become passive points


that enable the tenant to re-address the issue with you on the defensive. Instead, provide clear, respectful comments such as “Please submit your request using the correct form/app/submission by Wednesday and we can look into it,” or “Thank you for your prompt payment/ response/ request.” Communication in this manner provides clarity, respect, and reinforces the professionalism your company provides.
Short and Clear Statements Create Less Confusion
There’s an old line in politics that “If you’re explaining, you’re losing.” The meaning of the phrase is that if your position is not clearly articulated in a short, memorable, and substantive manner—you are inviting criticism that will undoubtedly come soon. Long explanations are the foundation for a lot of these negative encounters. Rather than long memos or emails, provide

simple, direct, one-or-two sentence directions. If details are necessary, provide the opportunity to obtain them— “Please review and sign the updated lease, and if you have any questions, please let me know.”
Rather than Apologies, Be Appreciative
Statements like “Sorry for the late reply” puts your communication in a defensive position that invites negative emotions. Instead, provide statements that show respect and appreciation such as “Thank you for your patience.” Doing so removes the self-deprecating tone and puts in its place one of mutual respect and understanding of the situation.
Cultivate Confidence
People respond to confidence in communication. Doing so also encourages their communication to be confident and respectful. When providing notices or directions, do so in a manner that doesn’t invite resistance or questioning. For instance, if you are replacing smoke
detectors or tending to some other maintenance matter that requires entrance into the unit, do so directly— “We will be conducting our semiannual smoke inspector inspections next week and have scheduled to come to your unit on X day at Y time.”
Ask Questions and Foster Mutual Understanding
Issues often come to us as complaints masking underlying issues. The best way to get beyond that surface complaint is to ask questions that softly expose the issues beneath the surface. Offering questions that lead to better understanding can help reduce defensiveness and encourage creating collaborative solutions. Questions such as “Can you help me understand what you are experiencing?”, or “Where is this originating from?”, or “How is this experience impacting your day that we may be able to address?” are all ways to further that understanding—in a nonconfrontational manner.

Experienced
Create Conversational Space
One-way communication on key events fosters discontent. Rent increases, changes to amenities, scheduled maintenance can all create discord with residents. Alleviating that discord could be as simple as a detailed advisory, holding a zoom session to discuss the issues, and providing full disclosure of what is predicating each issue. Allow the residents to air their concerns first, let them get their comments out, then provide them the detailed context as to what is being done to address their concerns. Do not be apologetic about what is happening, just be factual and forthright.
Manage Emotional Triggers with Professional Responses
When someone is acting in an angry or emotional manner, it is likely a reflection of their situation, not necessarily your action. Deescalating emotional interactions means providing a calm presence, being willing to bring the discussion to a close, to revisit later, or maintaining a staid, professional, and reserved demeanor until the situation stabilizes. Distance can also help to defuse the situation. Schedule a follow up discussion for a later date. When it’s time to reengage on the issue, have a fact-based conversation that also acknowledges and offers empathy for how the situation escalated. More often, than not, giving people time to reflect allows them to see their role in the situation getting out of hand. From that point you can address the situation with a better, calmer perspective.
Lead By Example
You can’t be there for every interaction. That’s why your staff, contractors, and other management personnel are essential in this effort. Providing the communications styles, actions, and reasoning behind the professional presence you want to create by setting your example is key to a consistent experience on your properties. Allow your team to mirror your communication styles:
• Provide paused responses
• Be clear and assertive
• Show gratitude instead of apologies
• Encourage a curiosity-based dialogue
• Know when empathy and diffusion are necessary
If your team models your style, you can ensure a quality experience for your residents.
Conclusion
Communication in the multifamily industry is essential to providing a positive living experience. Effective communication at every interaction—from maintenance calls to lease renewals— improves resident satisfaction, leads to less turnover, and strengthens the overall relationship that your team has with its residents.
Jefferson Fisher has made a career out of taking difficult discussions and making them effective communication points. Providing a similar experience with your properties and everyone involved—from your team to your residents—will help ensure a better interaction between everyone.
And this is also exactly how we keep tenants from organizing and demanding that the government step in where a better conversation could have taken place.

Questions & Answers
My sister and I are small operators, owning only two duplexes in Costa Mesa that we’ve had forever. We had our first vacancy in a while and we are about to advertise it. A friend of ours told us to check into the security deposit laws because they changed recently and only allow us to hold a single month’s security deposit, rather than the two months we used to require. Is that true? Are we really limited to a single month’s rent as a deposit?
Kind of…but there are a couple important exceptions. Civil Code Section 1950.5 governs all aspects of security deposits, and subsection (c) governs the maximum amounts you can collect. While the majority of owners are limited to a single month’s rent as security, the law makes an exception for you, due to the small number of units you own. Specifically, you are permitted to collect one extra month as security. In other words, provided you own no more than two buildings that collectively have no more than four rental
units, and the title to those properties is in the name of a natural person (or an LLC whose members are natural persons rather than a corporation) and the applicant/tenant is not a servicemember in the U.S. military, you may charge your tenants two months’ rent as a security deposit. On top of that, remember that as of this year (2025), you are required to take pictures of the unit prior to giving it over to the tenant.
I received an application from someone recently that happens to be the child of a friend of mine. Having known them for decades, I happen to know that the applicant has been in and out of rehab a couple times for drug and alcohol addiction. Kinda puts me in a bind. I reached out to my friend (her dad) and he assures me the kid has been clean and sober for more than a year and that I have, “nothing to worry about.” Hah! I know the applicant and he’s always been a good kid, but I really don’t want someone with addiction problems as a tenant. I am concerned about relapsing or causing problems for the neighboring tenants. Can I simply reject him on that basis?
Be careful how you approach this situation. Technically, you may not refuse to rent to an applicant simply because they are a former drug addict. Specifically, the Fair Housing Act prohibits rejecting applicants due to a past drug addiction because drug addiction is classified as a disability and protected under the fair housing laws. Still, the
circumstances that led to, or resulted from, the drug addiction are likely to show up as adverse tenant information in other ways. For example, most people with drug use issues will also have poor employment, credit, or tenancy histories. If your screening efforts reveal problems like those, and those negative marks run afoul of your objective rental screening criteria, you may reject the person as long as it is clear that the rejection is based on those reasons.
I messed up and rented one of my units to a law student! She seemed nice enough at first, until she showed up with a big dog last week. When I told her she is breaking her rental agreement and the dog would have to go, she “reminded” me that she is a law student who knows her rights, that the dog is a “support animal,” and that I am not allowed to make her get rid of it. When I asked her if she is disabled, she stated I am not allowed to ask her that question either, smiled, and said “good-bye” as she walked away! So, this is really a two-part question; first, is it true that I am not allowed to ask her if she is disabled; and, second, even if she is, what rights do tenants with support animals have? I am concerned if I push the issue, she will either show up with some fake doctor’s note or sue me for violating her rights! What should I do here?
First, it is important to recognize that while you are, in fact, permitted to ask them whether they are disabled (assum-
ing the disability is not readily apparent), you are not allowed to “push” tenants on the details or the nature of their disability. Of course, that restriction makes it very difficult for an owner or manager to prove that the tenant is lying about their disabled status. Still, that doesn’t mean you have to simply accept every tenant’s story that they are disabled and “need” a “comfort animal” in their apartment.
When determining whether you are required to allow someone to maintain a “comfort animal” is to determine whether the tenant is “a person with a disability.” In other words, the tenant has to “verify” their disability. If you determine that they are, in fact, disabled, the next question would be, what benefit does the animal give the tenant that enables them to have an “equal opportunity” to use and enjoy the apartment? In other words, the law still requires them to demonstrate a connection between their disability and the requested comfort animal. The most common way this is done is through a legally required report or letter from a health care practitioner that both describes the disability and explains how the animal’s presence will provide the tenant “full use and enjoyment” of the premises.
As you implied, many unscrupulous companies emerged on the internet who, for a fee, provide tenants with fake credentials for service animals and/or questionable letters from their “doctor” to fool landlords into allowing the animal. However, California legislators recognized the fraud taking place and made a small effort to curtail it back in 2022. Specifically, California implemented requirements for health care professionals providing such letters, requiring a clinical evaluation of the person claiming to be disabled by a professional who holds a valid and active license. Moreover, the professional must have had a “provider-client” relationship with the client for no less than 30 days prior to the request
for the letter. While that won’t prevent the sketchy applicant, tenant, or provider from writing or providing a fake letter, it is a small step in the right direction which allows you to look for those requirements in any letter provided by your tenant.
Importantly, even if you are unable to concretely prove your tenant is faking their disability, or the letter they provided is a phony, you are still permitted to require the tenant to sign an “Animal Addendum” which places reasonable conditions on your approval and that sets those conditions out in writing. For example, you are permitted to require the animal to be on a leash when outside the apartment, prohibit the animal from being a nuisance on the property, (e.g., barking all day while your tenant is away at work) and require the tenant to clean up after the dog if it defecates on the property. A well written Animal Addendum is the key to governing the situation in the likely event you end up accepting the animal.
I recently advertised a one-bedroom apartment for rent and, surprisingly, received a number of inquiries about it within the first 30 minutes of the ad being up. One of the people I spoke with told me he is looking for an apartment for his family which currently consists of him, his wife, and their only child. The bedroom in my unit is extremely small and I have traditionally found young, single professionals to be the only applicants interested in an apartment that size. When I discussed it with a friend of mine, she warned me to be careful because “the law” says I have to use a “2+1” occupancy standard and if I refuse, I could be sued. As I mentioned, this unit has a tiny bedroom. Do I really have to allow three people to rent the unit?
This is one of those areas in which there are multiple considerations and, while a 2+1 rule of thumb does exist, it isn’t set in stone. Furthermore, there are no clearcut answers and you’ll have to do a little digging into both state and
local laws to avoid investigations and/ or complaints.
First, recognize that The Uniform Housing Code (the UHC) is used by California to prevent overcrowding and to promote healthy living environments. Unfortunately, it uses the size of the bedrooms in the rental unit to determine a permissible number of people who can live there. The UHC’s guidelines state a bedroom must be no less than 70-square feet for a single tenant, plus an additional 50-square feet for each additional person. In other words, a 70-square foot bedroom allows a single occupant, and another occupant necessitates another 50 feet in that room, or 120 square feet, and so on. Under these state health and safety laws, there are two-bedroom apartments that could justify as many as ten people living there, because those laws use the square footage of the rooms to determine the permissible number of occupants. I know that sounds crazy to think of 10 people in a two-bedroom apartment, but that’s what the law permits if the square footage accommodates it.
Keep in mind, the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) uses a “two-plusone” rule as a “guideline” rather than a bright line rule. If an owner’s policy prohibits more than two persons per bedroom plus one additional occupant, you can reasonably anticipate an investigation and you will need to be able to legitimately justify your policy. Still, even if you use the “two plus one” rule as your criteria, that doesn’t necessarily mean you are in a safe harbor. Some cities have their own occupancy requirements, with some allowing more occupants per bedroom than the UHC. So be sure to check with your city to see if any such local laws exist before setting your occupancy standards. In most situations, a policy that limits your occupancy rates to three people in a onebedroom, five people in a two-bedroom, and seven people in a three-bedroom

unit will keep you out of trouble. In your specific situation, even though the bedroom may be small, you are playing with fire if you say or do anything that implies you rejected a family to accept a single young professional, unless you can genuinely back up your decision with a legitimate, reasonable explanation.

So, one asks why did the bill fail to make it to the governor? The cost of administration was a significant reason contributing to the decision by the author to stop forward progress. The State Controller’s Office stated that it could cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Counties will be required to review all the systems for compliance including tools used for online testing, hiring, permitting, case management, risk assessment and property management. Counties will incur costs of audits, training, staffing, disclosures, appeals process, data retention and potential legal exposure. The Controller’s Office estimates that the requirement for a large, complex agency such as the Controllers’ Office managing sensitive personal and financial data will be extremely expensive. Not only will the counties and Controller’s Office incur millions of dollars of costs, so will the Attorney General, Civil Rights Department, State Water Board, UC Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Finance, Judicial Council, trial courts, and most every other state agency.
The sponsors of the bill, Service Employees Internation Union of California (SEIU) and TechEquity Action had marked this bill to be of the highest priority. The opposition, including AAOC and other rental housing associations, was nothing short of a huge list of pro-business entities.

Next month, we will feature bills that were signed by the Governor affecting our industry.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN


Dear Maintenance Men:
I want to install some Malibu type low-voltage landscape lights in the courtyard of my apartment building, and I need some advice. I looked at the selection at my local hardware store and I’m even more confused. Should I go wired or solar? Chuck
Dear Chuck:
Good question! Solar looks so attractive, and it is very easy to install. You can’t get more plug and play than sticking the light fixture in the ground and waiting for the sun to charge up the light. Unfortunately, as great as solar energy seems, it does have some drawbacks. The light produced is very poor and the fixture must be in direct sunlight to recharge. If you want to use it to simply mark a path, it will do a good job, but if
you want it to light up the path, it does not have enough power. To light up a path or area, a wired low-voltage system is best. You will need to determine how many lights you will use and the wattage of the bulbs in each fixture. Most fixture bulbs are LED; the wattage information will help you determine what size transformer and wire to use. Light bulbs range in wattage from 4 watts to 50 watts. Do not exceed the bulb wattage as dictated by the transformer. As an example: a 300-watt transformer will support twelve 25-watt light fixtures or thirty 10-watt fixtures. Transformers range from 88 watts, 100 watts, 200 watts and 300 watts. There are transformers that list their wattage as high as 600 watts and 900 watts. Typically, the 600- and 900-watt transformers allow the use of multiple cables from one transformer. As far as what gauge wire to use, again, wattage will determine the wire size. For Example: max 150-watts, use 16-gauge wire, 200watts, use 14-gauge wire, 300-watts, use 12-gauge wire.
Dear Maintenance Men:

Tiles on my shower walls are coming loose and falling off in multiple spots. I had a tub-to-shower conversion done about three years ago. What’s causing this, do I have to completely redo the walls, and is there a quick fix? Ben
Dear Ben:
Ouch! No, there is no quick fix for your problem. We have seen this issue many
times on shower conversion tubs. It is so easy to just poke a shower head in from the back side and finish the walls with tile and call it a day. The problem is that the existing walls surrounding the tub were not meant for the wet environment that a shower presents. Any little crack in the grout will wick water into the drywall and cause it to break down. As the walls become more waterlogged, the mastic holding the tile to the drywall comes loose. Now even more water can enter through the tile. The proper way to do this kind of conversion, or to repair previous conversions, is the same. Remove the existing drywall and replace it with cement boards such as Hardiback, Wonder Board, DuraRoc, etc. These materials are impervious to water. Any leaking of water through the tile grout will not result in mass delamination of the tiles. Once the cement board is installed, caulk all the seams and corners. Now you can install the tile over the cement board, grout the tile, and seal the grout lines. Your new shower should now last a lifetime or until you are tired of looking at the same tile for so long.
Dear Maintenance Men:
I’m very handy and like to do as much work at my building as I can. Saving money by not using “professionals” is also a very nice reward for my do-ityourself efforts. However, I realize it may not be in my best interest to always do the work myself. Exposure to certain liabilities, safety issues, or
just plain disgusting jobs are sometimes best left to the professionals and I don’t mind paying for that peace of mind. Can you help me decide which jobs should be left for the professionals and why? Allen
Dear Allen:
We are big fans of do-it-yourself jobs. However, some jobs do need to be left to the trained professional. Top of the list would be life and limb issues. Improper heating systems repairs can cause the greatest liability. Carbon monoxide is a known killer. Depending on your area, most gas supply companies will send a representative to inspect your heating system for free. Because of carbon monoxide, gas leaks, or fire, repairs to the heating system should always be left to the pros. When it comes plumbing, many of us are great do-it-yourself people. We consider most living space side of the wall issues fair game to DIY. But when the problem goes to the other side of the wall, such as mainline back-ups or when heavy equipment is needed to effect repairs, it is best to seek the pros. As an example: A mainline power snake machine can maim or kill in untrained hands. Not to mention the cost of retrieving a broken snake cable fifty feet down your main drain line. Weight-bearing structural repairs should be left to the professionals. Electrical repairs involving the breaker box or maybe even ground fault interrupter switches should be done by a trained pro. Because of the liabilities involved with chemicals, pest control should be left to the licensed companies involved in that type of work. This a short list, but if you keep in mind that “life or limb” issues should be delegated to the professional, you should be OK.

COVER YOUR ASSETS
Half of Apartment Applications Are Fraudulent. Here’s How to Fight Back
“Get your facts first and then you can distort them as much as you please.”
Mark Twain
In today’s digital age, renter fraud is rampant. Multifamily operators must leverage technology to protect their investments and communities.
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel about resident screening and fraud. What struck me most from that discussion is just how dramatically the landscape has shifted in the last few years. Technology, which has given us incredible tools to operate and scale multifamily portfolios, has also created new and devastating vulnerabilities. The reality is stark: fraud is no longer the exception—it’s becoming the expectation.
Consider this: Greystar, the world’s largest apartment owner and operator, reports that in some U.S. markets, half of all applications they receive are fraudulent. That means one out of every two “qualified” renters on paper is, in fact, an imposter—someone pretending to be someone else. These are real applications, filled out with precision, but the identity behind them is manufactured.
Yardi, the leading property management software provider, adds another dimension to the problem. Through its RentGrow technology, which screens over seven million units nationwide, Yardi detects synthetic data every two minutes—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This can include stolen or reused Social Security numbers, or worse, “Frankenstein” identities built by combining the name of a deceased individ-
ual with the Social Security number of a living person. These are not isolated cases. They are constant, relentless attempts to outsmart our systems.
And when fraudsters succeed, the outcomes can be devastating. Lost rent, property damage, costly evictions, and destabilized communities are only the surface-level consequences. At scale, unchecked fraud erodes investor confidence, strains operating budgets, and tarnishes the reputation of owners and operators who pride themselves on delivering quality housing.
Fighting Fire with Fire
Fraudsters are using technology against us. The only way to win is to use technology against them. That means moving beyond basic screening tools and implementing multi-layered, tech-enabled defenses that make it exponentially harder for bad actors to slip through. A strong strategy pairs the human element—trained on-site staff—with digital verification tools that leave little room for manipulation. For example:
• Identity Verification Platforms: Solutions that require photo IDs, cross-check government databases, and even use biometrics to validate identity.
• Income Verification Technology: Tools like Snappt analyze paystubs and bank statements to identify falsified or manipulated documents —an increasingly common tactic.

• Data-Driven Screening Systems: Advanced platforms, such as those offered by Yardi, flag inconsistencies, detect synthetic data, and continuously learn from new fraud patterns.
The most effective operators are not relying on a single layer of defense. They are weaving these tools together into a comprehensive framework, where applicants must pass multiple checks before receiving approval. It’s the same principle that makes financial institutions hard to defraud: each layer adds friction for fraudsters, while making it easier to identify legitimate renters.
The Human Factor Still Matters
Technology is critical, but it is not a substitute for human judgment. Leasing teams need to be trained to spot red flags in behavior, paperwork, and communication. Meeting prospects in person, when possible, adds another layer of confidence. Fraudulent applicants often avoid face-to-face interactions or provide vague answers when asked simple questions about their employment or residency history. Empowering staff with both training and techenabled tools creates the strongest shield. Some old school tactics still work, too. Consider inviting or requiring would-be applicants to the property before applying.








End-of-Session State Legislative Recap
The California Rental Housing Association (CalRHA) was able to stop this year many problematic bills, some of which were held in policy and fiscal committees, while others we were able to stop on the Floor.
Final Floor Fight Wins
During the final days of session, we prevented 522 (Wahab)—Just Cause for Rebuilds after Disasters, from being taken up on the Assembly Floor. This was a high priority tenant protection bill that our affiliates effectively engaged in over the summer recess. Another bill that we were able to successfully stop on the Floor was AB 1018 (Bauer Kahan)—Automated Decision Systems which was sent to Inactive on the Senate Floor. AB 1018 would have regulated the development and deployment of automated decision systems, many of which are used in the rental housing space.
Bills on the Governor’s Desk
One priority opposition bill made it to the Governor’s desk, AB 628 (McKinnor)—Habitability: Stoves and Refrigerators. This bill makes a dwelling that substantially lacks a stove or refrigerator that are maintained in good working order and capable of safely generating heat for cooking or safely storing food untenantable. We have submitted a veto request and will know by October 13th whether the bill is signed or vetoed by Governor Newsom. Another bill of interest pending on
the Governor’s desk is AB 246 (Bryan), the Social Security Tenant Protection Act of 2025. The Act authorizes a tenant of residential real property to assert Social Security hardship as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer proceeding based on the nonpayment of rent. Finally, AB 1414 (Ransom), allowing for an opt-out of landlordtenant internet service, is pending at the Governor’s desk, with both the National Apartment Association and the California Rental Housing Association opposed.
Bills opposed and stopped in their first house or in policy committee this year:
AB 1157 (Kalra/D, San Jose)—Just Cause and Rent Caps, which would have significantly altered the existing just cause and rent cap provisions established under AB 1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019.
AB 1240 (Lee)—Corporate Ownership has become a two-year bill, parked in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
AB 1248 (Haney)—Rental Fees failed in the Assembly on the Floor, where it was sent to inactive. AB 1248 would have limited the fees that a rental property owner could charge in addition to rent and have required those fees to be included in the rent and not charged as a separate fee.
SB 436 (Wahab)—Right to Redeem Tenancy, which would have changed the 3-day pay or quit statute to a 14-day pay or quit, died in the Assembly

BY CALIFORNIA RENTAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION
Judiciary Committee. Although granted reconsideration, the bill was not set for a second hearing.
SB 681 (Wahab)—Housing, the Senate’s housing reform proposal, which included provisions that limit fees that rental property owners may charge tenants which failed to get a hearing in the Assembly Housing Committee and now is a two-year bill.
SB 789 (Menjivar)—Vacancy Tax —SB 789 would have required a person that owns commercial real property to register with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and annually file an information return to report specified vacancy information, and (2) subject late and unfiled returns to a penalty of $100 per commercial property.
Price-related and other bills opposed and failed in, or were fixed in the Appropriations Committees:
AB 380 (Gonzalez)—Price Gouging —DEAD
AB 878 (Kalra)—Reasonable Accommodations for Victims of Domestic Violence—DEAD
SB 36 (Umberg)—Price Gouging: State of Emergency—NARROWED TO REMOVE GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION
SB 52 (Perez)—Rental Rate Algorithms—DEAD
SB 384 (Wahab)—Preventing Algorithmic Price Fixing Act—DEAD

Powering a Brighter Future for Orange County Residents
Orange County Power Authority offers residents and businesses a choice in electricity generation with the option to purchase more renewable energy for a healthier, more resilient community.
Energy Programs for Multi-Family Communities
OCPA is working to develop programs for multi-family communities to save residents energy and money while transitioning to a clean energy future. Help us learn what would work best for you and your tenants
Bills that CalRHA was able to negotiate amendments on in order to go neutral:
AB 414 (Pellerin)—Security Deposits—Amendments were agreed upon, to allow for mutual written agreements for alternative methods of refunding security deposits, clarify that the itemized statement can be provided by email or first-class mail upon mutual agreement, and account for managing
security deposit returns when multiple adult tenants reside in a unit.
AB 863 (Kalra)—Residential Rental Properties: Language Requirements
Instead of requiring a landlord to provide the tenant with a notice in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or Korean, as well as in English. Amendments were taken to instead have the Judicial Council create a summons containing the languages and make it available on their website.

SB 262 (Wahab)—Pro-housing Local Policies—This bill adds additional local policies related to housing stability, and homelessness as prohousing policies that the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) can consider in developing a pro-housing designation. We were able to have rent stabilization ordinance, funding for legal services for eviction defense and eviction prevention, as well as tenant protections amended out of the bill.
All three bills are pending on the Governor’s desk.
Conclusion
All in all, it was a successful year for CalRHA as we continue to advocate in the State Capitol, build key relationships with Legislators and the Administration, and represent the rental housing community in Sacramento and at the local level. The engagement by our members with their own representatives helped drive the success of the organization this year on the legislative front.

Protecting What Matters Most
Multifamily real estate is, at its core, a trust business. Investors trust operators to steward their capital, and residents trust owners to provide safe, stable housing. Fraud undermines both sides of that equation and the stakes are simply too high for us to rely on outdated processes or take a “good enough” approach to screening. Fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated every day, but so are the solutions available to us. Owners and operators who embrace these tools not only protect their financial interests—they safeguard the communities they are building and the trust they have earned.
In today’s environment, protecting your portfolio doesn’t just mean maintaining your buildings or filling units. It











Enhance Your Apartment Building’s Earthquake Safety

BY ALI SAHABI
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
Optimum Seismic, Inc. specializes
in making these upgrades seamless. Since 1984, we have handled thousands of retrofit, renovation, and adaptive reuse projects. Notable projects include converting the historic hotel in San Luis Obispo into a 48-unit mixed-use complex, transforming the Mayfair Hotel in Pomona into apartments with retail spaces, and repurposing Victorian homes for USC student housing.
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.
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. Optimum Seismic, Inc. is here to assist you every step of the way.

Refinancing Shock: What Apartment Owners Need to Know
California apartment owners are facing one of the toughest financing environments in decades. For years, historically low interest rates made acquisitions and refinancing manageable, with many owners locking in long-term debt at rates that kept cash flow strong. But as loans mature today, owners are being forced into a very different reality: refinancing often means paying two or three times more in interest than before.
Why This Matters Now
If your loan is coming due in the next 12-to-24 months, the impact could be significant. Higher debt service can wipe out cash flow, create negative leverage, or force you to inject fresh equity just to secure financing. Some owners are already finding that refinancing into today’s rates results in monthly payments so high that operating margins nearly vanish.
The Perfect Storm of Costs
This refinancing shock isn’t happening in isolation. Insurance premiums have soared, property taxes remain heavy, and everyday maintenance—whether it’s plumbing, roofing, or appliances— costs more than ever. Add debt service that has doubled or tripled, and the numbers simply don’t balance. What once looked like a reliable investment can quickly turn into a financial squeeze.
The Leverage Crunch
Lenders are also tightening their standards, requiring higher reserves and lowering loan-to-value ratios.
Deals that once financed at 70–75% are now coming in much lower. That means owners and buyers must bring significantly more cash to the table. For housing providers, this translates into less leverage, weaker returns, and diminished incentives to expand or reinvest in properties.
What Owners Need to Do
If your loan is coming due soon, don’t wait until the last minute. Start conversations with your lender early, run scenarios with your CPA or financial advisor, and be realistic about whether you’ll need to contribute additional equity. As a real estate broker, I have long-standing relationships with lenders who understand the nuances of these challenges and, in some cases, can provide access to some of the lowest rates currently available—helping owners explore solutions they might not see on their own.
One strategy many owners consider is an interest-only adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), which can reduce monthly payments by covering interest only, providing crucial breathing room for cash flow while longer-term financing options are evaluated. While rates can adjust upward after the initial period, owners may still be able to secure competitive rates—particularly through lenders familiar with these complex refinancing situations.
Another key approach is negotiating directly with your lender to extend your current loan. Even a short-term extension can give you valuable time to prepare, stabilize your property, or position

BY MERCEDES SHAFFER, BROKER
yourself for refinancing under better terms. The key is not to wait— approaching your lender early strengthens your negotiating position and helps avoid being forced into a distressed sale. Acting now ensures you maintain control and flexibility, rather than reacting under pressure when the loan maturity looms.
Exploring these tools now—rather than scrambling at maturity—will give you the flexibility to decide whether to refinance, restructure, or even sell on your own terms.
The Bigger Picture
This financing environment is testing the resilience of housing providers across California. Owners are being asked to carry higher costs while their ability to adjust rents is restricted by law. That’s not sustainable. It’s a reminder that investors are not the problem— they are the backbone of the housing supply. Without their willingness to take risk and provide capital, there would be fewer apartments available for California residents.
Bottom Line
The rising cost of financing isn’t just reshaping numbers on a balance sheet —it’s reshaping the future of apartment ownership. For those with loans coming due, the time to act is now. The owners who prepare, adapt, and make proactive decisions will be best positioned to weather this cycle and emerge stronger when conditions improve.

Why Print Advertising is Still Very Relevant in 2025
Especially if your target market is owners in the multifamily industry
Many of AAOC’s property owner members are in the 55+ age range. With that being said, many “older” readers continue to consume print news and advertising more than digital.
Familiarity & Comfort
Many older readers grew up with newspapers, magazines and flyers as their main source of information. They’re more likely to read every word of a printed ad and scroll past a digital one.
Lower Digital Adoption
While smartphone use among older readers has risen, a significant portion still prefers offline media for important decisions, especially local services, healthcare and community events.
Example: A retirement community’s print ad in the local paper can directly reach older readers who aren’t consuming online content multiple times throughout the day.

Print Builds Trust & Credibility
Printed material feels tangible and permanent—less “here today, gone tomorrow” than online ads. Studies show older readers often perceive print ads as more reliable and less intrusive than website pop-ups or sponsored posts on social media or emails.
Example: A printed brochure for a healthcare clinic can be kept, referred to later, and even passed along to friends.
Stronger Local Targeting
Local newspapers, church bulletins and association magazines like Apartment News are hyper-targeted channels where older readers comprise the core audience. Print allows for geographically pinpointed outreach without the complexity of online targeting algorithms.
Less Competition for Attention
The digital world is noisy. Thousands of ads compete for clicks every day. Print media in 2025 is less crowded, meaning your ad will stand out more on a page than it might on a busy news feed.
Ideal for Hybrid Marketing
Print can work with and complement digital advertising. Consider adding QR codes that link to videos, appointment bookings, or discounts. This bridges familiarity with new tech, without alienating older readers.
In 2025, when everyone is chasing clicks online, the smartest brands know—you don’t win attention, you

Increasing Resident Satisfaction Through Pets
Pet-friendliness trends in rental housing.

Alarge chunk of the data surrounding rental housing trends is readily available and regularly refreshed. The same can’t be said for pet trends in the industry, as most of the research available took place during or shortly after the pandemic, when things were in a bit of a whirlwind.
Operators now can take a fresh look.
The State of Pets in Rental Housing, a recently released report from PetScreening, offers a snapshot of petrelated trends and challenges in rental housing, along with a gauge of the overall pulse of pet-friendliness in the industry.
The top challenge cited by study respondents, which included 1,715 property managers and leasing professionals within multifamily and singlefamily rental industries, was unauthorized pets brought into a home. Meanwhile, 60.7% of single-family
respondents and 46.5% of multifamily respondents indicated that having a pet-friendly property has increased resident satisfaction.
A Measured Impact
Rental housing operators are fully aware that increasing pet-friendliness levels widens the pool of potential residents. The effort, however, can be a significant undertaking, and operators often want to know just how robust the impact is in actual practice.
Pet friendliness is one of the most crucial deterministic factors when renters decide whether to lease or remain at a property. Resort-style pools and EV charging stations might sway certain renters to lease or remain at the property, but few offerings will positively influence approximately half of residents.
In addition to attracting residents,

BY DAVID STUNJA, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, PETSCREENING
pet-friendliness has helped retain them. According to the study, 28% of single-family respondents and 17% of multifamily respondents said having a pet-friendly property has helped boost renewals.
When operated effectively, petfriendly properties can increase resident satisfaction and offer a wider pool of prospects. But operators should be aware that the process requires diligence and is not without a few hurdles to overcome.
Conquering Challenges
The primary challenge of unauthorized pets was followed by property damage, pet waste and navigating assistance animal requests.
Thankfully, a large share of these challenges—or at least the results of

them—can be addressed up front when pet-owning residents move in. The issue of unauthorized pets might seem difficult to overcome, particularly when residents acquire pets during their stay and fail to report them. But properties can efficiently track the onsite pet population by including an addendum to the application/lease agreement that requires residents to formally acknowledge they will notify the community if they acquire, sit or host a visiting pet during their stay.
The challenges of pet damage and pet waste are part of the territory at pet-friendly communities, with respondents indicating that 28% of their petoccupied homes receive damage. Property teams can also address pet damage procedures in the leasing agreement, so residents formally acknowledge and are aware of any fines they might incur. Properly stocking pet waste stations at the property can help
to reduce pet waste, as can the adoption of a pet DNA service if problems become severe.
While the challenge of navigating assistance animal requests can seem a bit esoteric, following the most recent HUD guidelines can help properties remain compliant. They can also partner with a third-party that specializes in assistance animal accommodation requests and the various statutes surrounding them.
Most Effective Amenities
When it comes to pet amenities, simple is often best. Secure spaces for pets to expend energy along with resources to help pet-owning residents keep the community clean have a significant impact.
Respondents cited pet waste stations (59%), outdoor amenities (41%) and an onsite dog park (35%) as the most common offerings. They were followed by nearby vet care (28%) and pet social events (24%).

Properties that provide these functional resources are helping to ensure non-pet-owning residents—which remain a significant pool of the onsite population—remain comfortable. These offerings also help to reduce wear and tear within homes and community spaces. While more elaborate pet amenities are always welcome, the initial focus on taking care of the basics is most important.
Additional findings of the report included that pit bulls and their various subtypes are the most-banned breed (94%), followed by several additional large breeds, including Rottweilers and German Shepherds. While the common perception is that large breeds have a larger propensity to cause damage or take part in an onsite incident, no data supports that notion. Forward-thinking properties are beginning to evaluate pets on an individual basis rather than institute blanket breed bans.
Ultimately, the survey data reveals that pet-friendly properties carry the benefits of increased resident satisfaction and robust renewal rates among other results. Respondents acknowledge the accompanying challenges as well. Fortunately, the industry is more primed than ever to address any potential issues related to pet-friendliness, making the option more appealing to a wider range of rental housing operators.
