Welcome to RENT! Spring is here, flowers are beginning to bloom, and temperatures are starting to warm up. That means it’s time for the second quarter issue of RENT. In this legal edition, we’re excited to introduce Legal Brief , a free monthly e-newsletter from AAOA that will keep you up to date on legal issues that impact your multifamily business. Wondering how California’s new rent reporting law affects you? In Tenants Are Finally Getting Credit for On-Time Rent Payments , we lay out the bill’s details and the benefits of rent reporting to both renters and landlords nationwide. You’ll also find a variety of articles covering high-impact legal and financial topics such as natural disasters, security cameras, balcony collapses, 1031 exchanges, evictions, top lease clauses, and how to increase your cash flow. Learn about everyday phrases and fake emotional support animal requests that can violate Fair Housing laws, read about some recent books that will help hone your investment skills, and peek into the latest celebrity real estate moves. Enjoy! We’ll see you next quarter.
