WEBINAR ON-DEMAND

Presented by Green Zuru and Real Estate Transition Solutions

Screening and choosing the “right” prospective tenant is one of the first steps of the rental process. Although it’s an exciting part of the rental journey, it can be filled with uncertainties due to the challenge of finding the right tenant that will pay rent on time and care for your rental properties, as well as ensuring legal compliance with California’s tenant screening laws. During this webinar, we help you learn California’s unique tenant screening regulations, and we will be covering the entire screening process, from the rental application fee to background checks.

WEBINAR DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:

• What’s the most a California landlord can charge for an application fee?
• Can landlords run background checks in California, and which background checks can they run?
• What limits are being imposed when it comes to Section 8 tenants and other housing voucher holders? Do you need to accept Section 8 tenants?
• Creating a strong rental criteria and how best to communicate to applicants?
• Does a California landlord need a prospective tenant’s consent to run a background check?
• What is the new, maximum amount of security deposit allowed in California?
• Which applicant do you choose? What if there are multiple, qualified applicants? Can you choose the one you like best?
