Did you know routine inspections are not a legal reason to enter a tenant’s unit? Or that you can’t refuse to rent to someone who uses a Section 8 voucher — even writing “No Section 8” in an ad is considered illegal discrimination?
These are just a couple of the laws that trip up rental housing providers in California. And the risks are serious: violations can lead to fines, lawsuits, and lasting damage to your business.
That’s why the California Apartment Association created Landlord 101, a two-part training that gives you a practical framework for navigating the state’s complex rental housing laws. Both sessions, led by CAA attorneys Mallory Homewood and Monica Deka, are now available on-demand — so you can learn at your own pace and get the information you need when you need it.
What you’ll learn
- Part I: Application and screening rules, fair housing considerations, lease basics, security deposits, and rent collection procedures.
- Part II: A landlord’s right of entry, how and when you can raise rent, lease renewals and turnovers, legally ending tenancies, and handling difficult situations during a tenancy.
Together, these sessions offer a comprehensive introduction to California rental law and help you spot situations where further guidance may be needed.
Why bundle both parts?
- Save money: Purchase Part I and Part II together at a discounted rate.
- Stay compliant: Protect yourself from costly mistakes by learning the rules before problems arise.
- Earn credit: Completing both sessions qualifies for 3 units of CCRM continuing education.
On-demand details
- Cost: $85 for members / $115 for nonmembers
- Length: 1.5 hours per session
- Format: On-demand video, available immediately after purchase
