Customer Reviews:
not a panacea.......2007-09-06
The book is not accurate in some circumstances. We had to consult an attorney for the correct info concerning a tenant who paid one year in advance and then broke the lease. The book does not cover this. The tenant went to a web site and started a series of actions designed to force us into a position where he could sue us. Also our attorney said the book was outdated as the new leases are different.
Outstanding!!!.......2007-07-12
I purchased this book along with a couple of other books by Nolo when I found out my county court house Law Library uses it. These books really spell things out in layman's terms. I took my tenants to court and won! I will definitely keep buying these books!
It's the Landlord's Bible!.......2007-06-18
This book saved me! A realtor friend turned me on to it and I can't thank her enough!
Indispensible! .......2007-05-30
I had the 10th edition and facing evicting a problem tenant. What a headache since California forms had changed a fair bit. Updating to the 12th ed. changed everything in regards to filling out forms and knowing that I crossed every t and dotted every i totally correctly since it walks you through the most current forms numbered item by numbered item. Now, when I get done with these forms I actually think that they're beautiful (now that's a bit weird I think). It really has put so much power back into my hands, vs. being a victim of the CA bureaucracy!

California Landlord's Law Book is a must!.......2006-08-09
I have been a landlord for 12 years. Every few years I purchase a revised version just to be sure that laws haven't changed that I should know about. This book is a must if you have rentals in California. It is very easy to understand, it has all the forms you may need on CD and can be referred to quickly when questions come up. I feel I am a better landlord because of this book. I have also loaned it to my friends when they felt that their landlord had not be treating them fairly. They also found it very helpful. I wouldn't be without it.
Very useful and practical handbook for Landlords.......2006-07-27
I read through the book before renting my place, and it provided me with very useful tips on the legality of various aspects of renting one's place. It also had templates and forms which were very handy, in drawing up a lease, issuing a receipt or generating a checklist. I would recommend this book for any landlord, whether you are renting out one house or multiple.
Great information for first time California Landlord.......2006-02-23
This was the only book I needed to become a landlord in California. With the included forms on CD, I was able to easily create a lease for my tenants and feel confident that I was doing everything legally. I read the relevant sections of the book and will keep it on hand if any rental problems show up. I am very satisfied with the book selection.
Simply the Best. Very Indispensable for Neophytes and Old.......2005-04-08
If you're in the real estate rental business in the state of California you need this book to start out, survive, and thrive in this business. The NOLO books are written by lawyers for lay people.
The "California Landlord's Law Book: Rights and Responsibilities" covers all ground and gives you more than a legal or business understanding of real estate rental (rare but detrimental scenarios and important topics are discussed, such as Discrimination, Self-Help Evictions, Landlord's Liabilities for Dangerous Conditions and Criminal Acts, etc.)
This law book also contains all the forms you will need, both at the end as apendix and on a CD. The book is very thorough and every new edition stays abreast with the latest rental law changes in California. The only downside (unavoidable) is that every so often NOLO publishes a new edition thus somewhat outdaing previous ones.
Eleventh Edition with a Web Site for Updates.......2005-04-01
I don't know if California has more renters than other places or not, but the laws regarding the renting of property in California are far more numerous, strict, and difficult to understand than those from anywhere else.
This book, written by practicing attorneys who also happen to know how to write in plain and simple English, describes the California laws from the standpoint of the landlord. This includes: leases, rental agreements, managers, credit checks, security deposits, discrimination, invasion of privacy, the landlord's duty to maintain the premises, and much more, things you might not think about if you are just thinking about renting the house you're moving out of.
Some interesting chapters include how to deal with those few tenants who will inevitably try to invent bogus reasons why they were legally entitled to withhold rent, another makes sure that you, your managers and any other employees know and follow antidiscrimination laws and, at least as important, make it clear that you are doing so.
This book is now in its 11th edition. Any book that's been around for eleven editions must have something going for it. And one thing is access to a web site that keeps you up to date with any changes in the law since the book came out.
Finally there's a CD-ROM with the book that includes most (quite likely all) the forms you'll need to be in the rental business.

Customer Reviews:
What should a tenant's notice to terminate tenancy look like?.......2007-09-04
Overall the book is good but there is a huge omission that has to be corrected. While there are sample forms in the book there is no sample notice to terminate tenancy. In fact, there is no information at all about what a tenant's notice to terminate should look like. This is an enormous problem and has to be corrected.
The Landlord's version of this book is much more complete. It includes a CD with PDF files for printing notices, etc. This Tenant's Rights books needs a CD with forms, including notice, to be included.
The book to have if your landlord is a jerk........2002-04-07
If your landlord is a jerk and you want to know what he (or she) can legally do or not do, this book will help. It will also give you some idea of when to go for professional help. It is of less help in figuring out what to do before you have to bring in the lawyers. I found it very helpfull to leave this book on the coffee table when my nosy landlord was snooping around my apartment. Apparently bad landlords don't like it when tenants know their rights.
Yes, Even Tenants Have Rights!.......2001-06-13
Roof leaking? Sure, you can repair the problem and deduct it from your rent, but what if the landlord responds with an eviction notice? There is a lot of bad advice out there. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Know your rights! This book will keep you on the right side of the law.

A Gotta Have Book for Landlords.......2007-08-16
Small time and first time landlords should absolutely all have this book! It has given me confidence and saved me many times. It's written in clear terms so you don't have to be a lawyer, real estate professional or other expert. The book explains plainly, in detail, each step, from finding the best tenant for your property to terminating those tenants that disappoint.
Great for just getting started!.......2000-08-28
Landlords' Rights & Duties in California was an excellent beginners guide to being a landlord. It includes samples of easy to use forms that cover all the basics as well as recommendations of when and when not to get a lawyer involved. I found the reference section that included applicable California Civil Code helpful as well. A quick read but loaded with useful tools, Landlord's Rights & Duties in California is what every beginning landlord needs in their library.

This is book is IT for Cali Landlords.......2004-06-23
Clearly written with good information and correctly sourced. This book is the latest edition so make sure to get it. It was a little annoying that the CAR forms have SAMPLE scrawled across them... and that's just the form i wanted to use... come to find out you can buy it elsewhere for $40. But to their credit they do include sample forms that you can use and scan and copy. Very nice. Totally worth its price.

I bought several landlord's rights books and found that this book was really helpful and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book if you're a landlord in need of legal advice to protect your property.
INDISPENSABLE!.......1997-03-28
This is a major component of my landlord/property manager library. I was not surprised to find, when I purchased this recent updated edition, that it is even better! (I noticed more excerpts of code.) Nolo Press has a deserved reputation for offering excellent legal guides for the lay person
