Location-Specific Tenancy Guidance for California

Today’s location-specific episode features California.  We explore the overview of the housing guiding document called California Tenant Protection Act.  Each of my location-specific podcasts is set up the same way answering the same four questions:  1) What are the basics of the California Tenant Protection Act, 2) What are the nuances of this location – what is different that stands out?, 3) Some guidance about abandoned items left behind by a tenant in a rental inCalifornia, and 4) Where to get help in your local area in California.  This episode is NOT all inclusive – you must research further in your specific area including your County, Regional District, Parish, City or any other Governing Body that involves your rental location, but today’s episode will get you started!
