We know California leads the USA in creating new laws... New California laws tighten renter protections. "California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three bills changing renter protection practices in the state last month. Under Assembly Bill 2801, landlords are required to take photographs of a unit before move-in, after move-out and before and after any necessary repairs or cleaning, which must be provided to the tenant along with the security deposit disposition form. This bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. AB 2747 requires landlords to provide tenants with the option to report their on-time rent payments to credit bureaus, effective April 1, 2025. Senate Bill 611 forbids fees on rents paid by check, fees for posted notices or charging tenants in the military more than the standard security deposit amount, effective July 1, 2025." https://lnkd.in/e9pVndB6
