  • From security deposits to rent payments, rental history and homeowners associations, here's what you need to know.

The article from MSN discusses new housing laws in California aimed at bolstering tenant rights and protections. These laws include measures to limit security deposits, expand eviction protections, and provide more transparency in rental agreements. Specifically, one key law caps security deposits at one month's rent, down from the previous limit of up to three months' rent, to ease the financial burden on renters. Another significant change is the requirement for landlords to provide a "just cause" for evictions, which aims to prevent arbitrary or retaliatory evictions. Additionally, there are new rules to ensure that rental application fees are not excessive and that tenants receive detailed receipts for these fees. These legislative changes reflect California's ongoing efforts to address housing affordability and tenant stability in one of the nation's most expensive rental markets.
