The typical small landlord is someone with a duplex and a mortgage, not a hedge fund. Write policy as if they're Wall Street and they sell. Guess who buys.

Two people on one lease as roommates. One stops paying. The other wants you to evict just them. What do you do?

Tenant painted the walls purple with your OK. Four years later they're moving out. Who pays to repaint?

In California, it's usually the landlord.

Paint wears out. After a few years, that's wear and tear. Civil Code §1950.5 won't let you charge the deposit for it.

The color doesn't change that. Approval to paint purple is approval to paint purple.

Have you ever approved a bold color?

Every new registry, annual fee, and reporting requirement a city adds to rental housing ends up in the rent. Landlords don't absorb compliance costs. They price them in. Then the city holds a hearing on why rents keep rising and creates more policies.

Move-in day is when your deposit dispute gets decided. Dated photos of every room, a condition checklist, tenant signs it, tenant gets a copy. Three years later, "it was like that when I moved in" is a short conversation.

Owner-move-in notice is not a blank check to empty a building.

In California, just-cause rules usually let you reclaim the unit you will actually live in. Clearing every other unit the same way is a different statute and different rules.

Landlords need equal rights under the law.

Landlord: The tenant moved out and left a couch, three boxes, a bike, plus a lot of junk.

Me: There's a process for abandoned personal property.

Landlord: Please tell me I can throw it out.

Me: Not yet. California has a notice process for property left behind. Don't skip it.
