Forms

The California Apartment Association offers members more than 200 rental housing forms, expertly developed by CAA’s compliance and legal team to ensure full compliance with California law.

To fit the needs of every rental housing provider, CAA delivers forms in three flexible formats: easy printable forms, or upgrade to our time-saving online fill-in forms, or upgrade to integrated forms – files ready to upload for use in common property management solutions like Yardi, AppFolio, and many others.

California law requires that a contract be provided in Spanish only if it is negotiated in Spanish. For more information, see CAA’s Industry Insight Foreign Language Rental Agreements and Leases.
