NEW STATE LAWS AFFECT LANDLORDS, TENANTS

Among the hundreds of new state laws that take effect in 2020 are laws affecting tenants and landlords. Managing editor Tami Roleff highlights some of the more significant changesā€¦

The state has imposed new limits on rent increases; rents can not be raised more than 5 percentā€”plus inflationā€”each year.

Landlords can no longer turn away tenants who use Section 8 vouchers to partially pay for their rent.

A current law that requires landlords to give tenants who have been evicted from a foreclosed-on property 90 days to get out has become permanent. It was set to expire.

And California homeowners will have more flexibility to build granny flats or mother-in-law units on their properties.
