A Season of Growth and Opportunity for AAOC and Its Members

Spring is often a time when many of us naturally begin to focus on clarity, organization, and renewal. We clear out what no longer serves us, refocus our goals, and establish a refreshed path forward. In many ways, this same mindset applies to our work within the Apartment Association of Orange County (AAOC} and the important role it plays in supporting the rental housing industry.

Over the past several months, I have had the opportunity to spend time learning more about the leaders you have elected to represent AAOC. Through that process, I can confidently say that our association is in very capable hands. We are fortunate to have an experienced and dedicated Board of Directors, active and engaged committees, and an exceptional professional staff that work diligently to advocate for the members, strengthen our industry, and ensure the association continues moving forward with purpose and vision. Thank you, David and the entire AAOC staff, for

all that you do—day in and day out.

It is valuable for any organization to take a moment to reflect. For AAOC, it is an opportunity to evaluate how we are representing the diverse interests, perspectives, and businesses that make up its membership. A well-rounded and engaged board of directors is essential to ensuring thoughtful leadership and meaningful representation across the many facets of our industry.

Just as strong leadership is vital to an association, so too is a thoughtful and consistent business strategy essential for every professional and company within our field. In the coming months, I look forward to sharing insights and strategies that can help strengthen our businesses and support the continued success of our industry. Many of these perspectives will come directly from the expertise and experiences of our board members—individuals who have built successful careers while navigating the same opportunities and challenges that many of us face.

My hope is that these shared insights will provide practical value throughout the year and encourage greater engagement among the membership. The strength of AAOC is the result of a collaborative spirit that includes our housing provider and supplier members, board of directors, other volunteers, and our staff. Our shared commitment to excellence keeps AAOC relevant and strong in an ever-changing industry. I encourage you to take advantage of the resources, events, and opportunities that our association provides and consider becoming involved at a deeper level.

Together, we will help AAOC continue growing stronger, more dynamic, and forward thinking in support of our members and the advancement of our industry.

Sincerely,

Denise Arredondo

Essential Estate Planning Strategies for 2026

Having a comprehensive and updated estate plan is critical to protecting your rental property investment, minimizing your tax liabilities, and ensuring a smooth transition to your heirs upon your death.

Sponsored by:

Learn the essential strategies that will help safeguard your properties and secure your legacy, including:

• Updating your estate plan to ensure your current familial situation, investment makeup, and present laws are accounted for in your plan

• Leaving real estate to your beneficiaries when not all your beneficiaries are equally interested in managing real estate… while still avoiding probate, minimizing estate taxes, and preserving low property tax basis.

• Protecting assets using simple or complex planning strategies

• Maintaining control and/or cash flow after giving assets away

• Discussing the impact of current legislation on your estate planning and investments

Speaker:

Anson Cain Managing Partner Albrecht & Barney

As an AAOC member, you also receive representation from the National Apartment Association and California Rental Housing Association.

Opening Pandora’s Box of Problematic Legislation for 2026.

This month the state legislature will begin to hear hundreds of bills that were introduced by the introduction deadline in late February. We have identified more than 200 bills that either pertain to or affect the rentalhousing industry. We will focus on a few of these bills which we believe will have a profound effect on the business of residential rental property.

AB 1827 (Chen) is one measure that we could argue is complex and could benefit and be troublesome at the same time. Current law establishes small claims courts within each superior court, which may consider certain cases including money damages, within certain monetary jurisdictional limits, including claims by individuals not exceeding $12,500, and restricts the same individuals from filing more than two claims over $2,500 in any calendar year. Of course, there are certain exceptions. Mr. Chen’s bill would increase the jurisdictional limit for claims by individuals to $15,000 and would permit individuals to file up to six small claims actions per calendar year.

On one hand, it may be argued property owners/agents may have more opportunities to bring small claims actions, including allegations of nonpayment of rent, more often, which may open additional opportunities to seek judicial remedies through small claims courts. I believe you would concur that for property owners/agents who like small claims court that the measure is beneficial. For that matter, increasing

the jurisdictional limit may be a good thing. Increasing the monetary limit on the other hand may be problematic. Immediately following the end of the COVID 19 lockdown, many owners who were not paid rent petitioned the courts for relief. The courts, to this day, have statutory boundaries. Owners/agents who are owed more than $12,500 by one tenant are compelled to file with superior courts, not small claims courts. Those same owners/agents face limits as to the number of judicial actions in any one year. Sounds good right? It may encourage tenants on the other hand to file their own action against the owner/ agent because now there is a built-in incentive to proceed against the owner/ agent. Tenants who owe a great deal of rent could now be incentivized to posit substantial habitability claims where they do not exist today. Perhaps—just perhaps—those same tenants will argue rent was paid or they will argue owners/ agents are not delivering the same level of care to the premises, or they are failing to respond to need of repair or maintenance. We therefore submit that Mr. Chen’s bill, though well-intentioned, is written in a manner that is both potentially helpful and problematic. So, is the bill truly beneficial to our industry?

AB 628 (McKinnor) has been identified as a high priority, not because the policy language is particularly controversial, but because it revisits the author’s “refrigerator habitability” bill from last year. As introduced, the bill proposes to make a minor change to the

law, but we firmly believe that following discussions with the Assemblymember McKinnor and key bill supporters, anticipated changes to the bill will not be balanced. The amendments will not be in our favor. Stay tuned as we keep you updated on this bill as it evolves.

AB 2064 (Sharp-Collins) proposes to amend the Unruh Civil Rights Act. Under current law, that Act ensures that everyone in the state has equal access to services in all businesses, regardless of characteristics like sex, race, religion, or disability. The list of characteristics is illustrative. The bill proposes to add everyone with “formerly incarcerated status” (i.e. all felons) to this list of protected statuses, providing the same anti-discrimination protections to individuals who have been incarcerated. The legislature previously considered this matter, but that bill was narrowly defeated.

Federal, state and local anti-discrimination laws have, for decades, provided protections to those who have been born with, for example, certain characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex. Extending protections to those who have committed crimes, however, is a much different matter. Owners/agents have numerous duties to protect all tenants. This bill would disrupt and destroy how we provide for the safety of tenants. AB 2064 would redefine how we qualify applicants that have been convicted of crimes. We are not addressing those who have been

ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE WATCH

The June Primary is Here…Whether You are Ready or Not.

Let’s be honest about something up front.

People don’t pay super close attention to Primary Elections. Turnout is typically low, ballots get skimmed, and a lot of these races are effectively decided before most voters even realize there was a decision to be made.

And yet, these are exactly the elections that shape the policies you deal with every single day.

If you’ve been following along with what we’ve been talking about as an industry, you already know this: the real pressure isn’t always coming from Sacramento. It’s coming from counties and cities—where enforcement decisions, local ordinances, and “creative interpretations” of state law get applied in ways that directly impact how you operate your business.

This Primary Election this June is one of those inflection points.

Orange County Board of Supervisors— District 4

Replacing termed-out Supervisor Doug Chaffee

This is the marquee race in Orange County.

Supervisor Doug Chaffee is termed out, and four candidates with real governing experience are running for the seat: Buena Park Mayor Connor Traut, Fullerton Mayor Fred Jung, Orange County Board of Education Trustee Tim Shaw, and former La Habra Councilmember Rose Espinoza.

And here’s the key dynamic in the race—this is a true, “top two” primary. If no candidate secures the 50% + 1 vote

threshold on June 2, 2026, the top two vote getters advance to a runoff in the General Election on November 3, 2026.

That matters, because this isn’t just about who wins—it’s about who makes the runoff.

• Connor Traut—Backed heavily by organized labor and the Democratic Party infrastructure.

• Fred Jung—Strong support from the business community and the Lincoln Club of Orange County.

• Tim Shaw—A resilient campaigner, former La Habra mayor and city councilmember, known quantity in Republican Party circles, with education-focused support.

• Rose Espinoza—Deep roots in North Orange County and a strong local base of support.

What to watch: Coalition math. This race will likely split along labor vs. business vs. traditional partisan lines. If it goes to a runoff (and it probably will) the electorate in November could look very different than in June.

And remember: this seat helps to determine the ideological and governing balance of a County Board of Supervisors that oversees a $9+ billion budget and sets the tone for everything from enforcement, to contracts, to how aggressively housing policy gets interpreted at the county level.

Orange County Board of Supervisors— District 5

Foley vs. Dixon vs. Vellema

This one is a fight.

Democratic County Supervisor Katrina Foley is seeking reelection against Republican State Assemblymember Diane Dixon, and educator Lucy Vellema.

• Katrina Foley—Strong base, strong labor backing, and a track record.

• Diane Dixon—Legislative experience and a more businessoriented approach to governing.

• Lucy Vellema—Less prominent figure who could play spoiler in a close race.

What to watch: This is one of the most evenly split districts in the county. If no candidate secures the 50% + 1 vote threshold on June 2, 2026, the top two vote getters advance to a runoff in the General Election on November 3, 2026—and turnout dynamics in that election will completely change the equation. From an industry standpoint, this race will determine whether the Orange County Board of Supervisors leans more toward expanding regulations or taking a more measured approach to cost impacts and implementation.

Orange County Board of Supervisors— District 2

Sarmiento vs. Mendoza vs. Wallace vs. Davis

This race is where the correction matters—and where things get interesting.

Incumbent County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento is seeking re-election against former Santa Ana City Councilmember Nelida Mendoza, commercial decorator James Wallace, and business owner Kimberly Davis.

• Vicente Sarmiento—Strong name ID, institutional backing, solid base in Santa Ana.

• Nelida Mendoza—Most viable challenger, former city elected official, experience, and community recognition.

• James Wallace

• Kimberly Davis

Let’s be clear about the dynamics here. Supervisor Sarmiento is the favorite in this race, but this is not a walkover.

What to watch: If Sarmiento fails to secure the 50% + 1 vote threshold to be re-elected, this race will head to a runoff in the General Election on November 3, 2026—and Nelida Mendoza (a Republican) is the most likely candidate to meet him there.

And in a November runoff, everything changes:

• Turnout increases

• Coalitions shift

• Messaging broadens beyond base voters

From a policy standpoint, this race matters more than people think. District 2 represents Santa Ana—ground zero for some of the most aggressive housing policies in Orange County— and surrounding cities.

Who holds this seat can influence how those policies scale—or don’t—at the county level.

Assembly District 68

Replacing outgoing Assemblymember Avelino Valencia

This is one of the clearer contrasts on the ballot where the two most viable candidates on the ballot, David Penaloza

and Jessie Lopez, also happen to be colleagues on the Santa Ana City Council.

• David Penaloza—Demonstrated willingness to engage with business and understand operational realities.

• Jessie Lopez—Consistent support for rent control and policies that restrict property owner flexibility. It is hard to envision a scenario in which this race does not move to a runoff in the General Election. It is likely that only one of them will make the runoff, but whichever one does will also likely be the eventual winner of the seat.

What to watch: Direction. Do the voters continue electing candidates who push policies that sound good politically but create downstream cost and supply issues, or do they start electing candidates who recognize the connection between regulation, cost, and housing availability? We’ve already seen how quickly well-intentioned policies can translate into real world cost pressures for both owners and tenants.

Assembly District 67

Replacing outgoing Assemblymember

Sharon Quirk-Silva

Another race with a clear policy divide:

• Ali Taj—former mayor of Artesia, more pragmatic, more open to stakeholder engagement.

• Ada Briseño—Strong labor backing, Democratic Party activist and leader, a history of supporting rent control and tenant-driven policy expansions.

• Mark Pulido—former mayor of Cerritos, and a center-left Democrat.

What to watch: This race is a referendum on how far Orange County is willing to go down the path of more aggressive housing regulation. Additionally, will this seat be held by an “Orange County” or a “Los Angeles County” candidate?

We’ve seen what happens when policy outpaces reality—less investment,

higher costs, and fewer housing options.

Riverside County Board of Supervisors— The

Quiet Deciders

While Orange County gets the attention, Riverside County may quietly settle several key races in June:

• District 2—Karen Spiegel vs. Sukhbir Singh Gill

• District 4—Manny Perez vs. Steve Sanchez

• District 5—Yxstian Gutierrez vs. Eric Stalter vs. Lisa Manus

What to watch: The races for Districts 2 and 4 are likely to be decided outright in the Primarily Election on June 2, 2026. That means if you’re waiting until November to pay attention…the decision will have already been made.

Riverside County continues to be a mix of pro-growth policy and regulatory experimentation. These races will determine which direction gains traction.

So, What Does This All Mean?

Here’s the reality. Every one of these races ties back to the same question— Who is in the room when decisions are made about your business?

Because those decisions don’t happen in a vacuum.

They happen when:

• A tenant complaint turns into a policy proposal

• A city or county decides to “do something”

• A regulator looks to expand enforcement

• A legislator wants to make a name for themselves

We’ve seen how quickly those moments turn into lasting policy—and how difficult it is to unwind once it’s in place.

And here’s the part that continues to hurt us as an industry: We tend to show up late. We wait until November. We

LEGAL CORNER

Questions & Answers

I recently advertised a one-bedroom apartment for rent and, surprisingly, received a number of inquiries about it within the first 30 minutes of the ad being up. One of the people I spoke with told me he is looking for an apartment for his family which currently consists of him, his wife, and their only child. The bedroom in my unit is extremely small and I have traditionally found young, single professionals to be the only applicants interested in an apartment that size. When I discussed it with a friend of mine, she warned me to be careful because “the law” says I have to use a “2+1” occupancy standard and if I refuse, I could be sued. As I mentioned, this unit has a tiny bedroom. Do I really have to allow three people to rent the unit?

This is one of those areas in which there are multiple considerations and, while a 2+1 rule of thumb does exist, it isn’t set in stone. Furthermore, there are no clearcut answers and you’ll have to do a little digging into both state and local laws to avoid investigations and/or complaints.

First, recognize that The Uniform Housing Code (the UHC) is used by California to prevent overcrowding and to promote healthy living environments. Unfortunately, it uses the size of the bedrooms in the rental unit to determine a permissible number of people who can live there. The UHC’s guidelines state a bedroom must be no less than 70-square feet for a single tenant, plus an additional 50-square feet for each additional person. In other words, a 70-square foot bedroom allows a single

occupant, and another occupant necessitates another 50 feet in that room, or 120 square feet, and so on. Under these state health and safety laws, there are two-bedroom apartments that could justify as many as ten people living there, because those laws use the square footage of the rooms to determine the permissible number of occupants. I know that sounds crazy to think of 10 people in a two-bedroom apartment, but that’s what the law permits if the square footage accommodates it.

Keep in mind, the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) uses a “twoplus-one” rule as a “guideline” rather than a bright line rule. If an owner’s policy prohibits more than two persons per bedroom plus one additional occupant, you can reasonably anticipate an investigation and you will need to be able to legitimately justify your policy. Still, even if you use the “two plus one” rule as your criteria, that doesn’t necessarily mean you are in a safe harbor. Some cities have their own occupancy requirements, with some allowing more occupants per bedroom than the UHC. So be sure to check with your city to see if any such local laws exist before setting your occupancy standards. In most situations, a policy that limits your occupancy rates to three people in a one-bedroom, five people in a two-bedroom, and seven people in a three-bedroom unit will keep you out of trouble.

In your specific situation, even though

the bedroom may be small, you are playing with fire if you say or do anything that implies you rejected a family to accept a single young professional, unless you can genuinely back up your decision with a legitimate, reasonable explanation.

It seems like the overall eviction process has changed over the past few years. Can you provide me with an overview of the process, as well as any specific changes that took place recently?

Throughout the last decade, and certainly since COVID came along, California’s landlord-tenant laws evolved at a dizzying pace. There were several updates throughout 2025 that were aimed at enhancing transparency, fairness, and protections for both parties.

Long gone are the days when a landlord could simply terminate a tenancy for no reason at all. While all evictions have always required some type of “termination notice” to initiate the process, most evictions in California now require a “just cause” reason as well. In fact, unless specifically exempted, most properties fall under the Tenant Protection Act (properties over 15 years old where the tenant has lived in the unit for 12 months) unless the local municipality has their own ordinance that is stricter than the Tenant Protection Act. Either way, these laws have “just cause” provisions that limit a landlord’s ability to terminate a tenancy

to certain, specific reasons set out in the law. They are typically broken into “At-Fault” and “No-Fault” categories. At-fault evictions include non-payment of rent or lease violations, while nofault evictions (like owner move-ins or permanently removing the property from the rental market) require relocation assistance equivalent to one month’s rent.

In addition to the proliferation of “Just Cause” laws, there was another key change to eviction proceedings in 2025. Specifically, a new law extended the tenant’s response time in eviction from five to ten court days after service, giving tenants time to file an answer. Luckily, trials are still set within 20 days of a request, and any discovery conducted by either party must be completed at least five days prior to the trial. Of course, eviction records are sealed by statute (until a landlord wins a judgment) so it remains unlikely that a landlord will know that an applicant has been evicted when the landlord is conducting their due diligence.

Another change that took place in 2025 was a series of limitations on what fees are permitted to be charged to tenants. Based on the new laws, landlords are prohibited from charging tenants any fees for serving, posting, or delivering termination notices. Additionally, a new affirmative defense was created for tenants known as the “Social Security hardship” used in non-payment cases wherein, a tenant may now raise it as a defense where they can demonstrate that their rent was late as a result of a delay in benefits caused by a delay on the part of the Social Security Administration.

In all, the framework of evictions remains largely intact. However, each year the legislature implements new administrative requirements landlords must follow. The slightest misstep in the notice or eviction process can cause a landlord to lose their case and have to restart the entire process. The sheer number of changes that have taken place just in the last few years has turned

evictions into a virtual minefield for landlords. Given that situation, it is best for most owners and/or management companies to use the services of an experienced and competent landlord law firm.

I have a tenant who used “midnight movers” to skip out on his lease. He’s only two months into a one-year lease and he up and disappeared! No notice, no phone call, nothing. He simply sent me a text message last night telling me he had already moved and letting me know the keys are in the kitchen drawer. I’m probably lucky in that I dodged the costs of an eviction, but what do I do now, and what do I do about the remaining balance on the lease? Who knows how long it will take me to lease it up again?

If you haven’t already done so, confirm he’s actually out by checking the kitchen drawer for the keys. If they are there and the unit is vacant, you can change the locks right away. Document the condition the unit was left in by taking pictures. Remember that new security deposit laws went into effect recently that require you to take pictures both before you do any repairs and/or cleaning, as well as afterward, in order to establish the need for the repairs and/ or cleaning. You need to provide the security deposit accounting within twenty-one days, and you can use it for any unpaid rent that might have accrued prior to him vacating.

Regarding the balance of the lease, the tenant remains on the hook for all the rent due under the lease for the balance of the lease term, as well as any costs you incur in re-letting the unit. However, you have a legal obligation to mitigate your damages by attempting to relet the property as reasonably fast as possible to minimize your losses. Be sure to document your due diligence by keeping records of everything you do to relet it, including ads run by any real estate agent you might hire to assist, advertising fees, and broker’s commis-

sions. Also, in the unlikely event that you lease it for less than your former tenant was paying under the terms of his lease, he would remain responsible for the difference between his rental rate and that of the new tenant for the remainder of the term.

My sister and I are small operators, owning only two duplexes in Costa Mesa that we’ve had forever. We had our first vacancy in a while and we are about to advertise it. A friend of ours told us to check into the security deposit laws because they changed recently and only allow us to hold a single month’s security deposit, rather than the two months we used to require. Is that true? Are we really limited to a single month’s rent as a deposit?

Kind of…but there are a couple important exceptions. Civil Code Section 1950.5 governs all aspects of security deposits, and subsection (c) governs the maximum amounts you can collect. While the majority of owners are limited to a single month’s rent as security, the law makes an exception for you, due to the small number of units you own. Specifically, you are permitted to collect one extra month as security. In other words, provided you own no more than two buildings that collectively have no more than four rental units, and the title to those properties is in the name of a natural person (or an LLC whose members are natural persons rather than a corporation) and the applicant/tenant is not a servicemember in the U.S. military, you may charge your tenants two months’ rent as a security deposit. On top of that, remember that you are now required to take pictures of the unit prior to giving it over to the tenant.

charged with a crime, nor are we arguing that non-violent convictions, including DUIs, should be re-addressed in the discussion of how we house felons. Note one important statistic that the state of California is one of the epicenters of mass incarceration in the country; it incarcerates more people than any other state except Texas. According to the state reports, 96% of California prisoners are men and 23 % of all California residents have been con-

victed of crimes. And should you be a “statistic geek,” half of the people in our state prisons in 2023 were convicted of homicide or assault. Another 17% were convicted of sex crimes and 18% were convicted of robbery or burglary. More than 3-in-10 people in California prisons are serving sentences of life, or life without parole. Not to bore you to “death” but the average sentence for people serving non-life terms is five years and, on average, people are released after they have served 60% of their sentences. Now, I think you see the reason(s) why statistics are important. You may ask, “how much does the state pay to incarcerate a person each year?” The answer: $133,000 in 2024. The primary reasons for the cost: security, operations and administration. So, for those convicted and released, we may be forced to rent to a felon soon following their release and without explanation of rehabilitation.

Next month we will continue to elevate your blood pressure with other measures the state legislature will consider this year.

This isn’t just another election. It’s the early round of decisions that will define:

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

I am about to refinish hardwood floors at my unit. However, I also want to install new floor tile in the kitchen. I don’t want to end up with floor thinset and grout all over my newly refinished wood floors. Which do I do first? Ingrid

Dear Ingrid:

The hard and fast rule for all remolding work is, “do the dirty work first.” Your instinct is correct. The second rule in

remodeling is, “work from the ceiling down to the floor,” which means flooring of any kind should be the last phase or trade to be performed. This is just something to remember if you are considering doing more than flooring.

Demo your existing flooring at the areas you will be installing tile, remember to remove the existing baseboard (do not try and save it) and make sure your contractor terminates your new tile evenly to “butt up” to your future wood floor at all open doorways or transitions.

We hope this helps answer your question and reinforces your instinct.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have a residence built in the early ‘60s and it has original cast iron drains. The last time I had a clog, my plumber said cast iron pipes have a 50-year life expectancy. During the auguring process he said they felt rough inside and may backup more frequently. Last

year we replaced a ruptured pipe with a plastic pipe. The main drain, part of which is above ground, is rusty and tends to flake away. What are the possibilities for this situation—replace when they fail, replace before they fail, reline the pipes to prevent trouble, or some other option? Long term, what makes sense financially? Korey

Dear Korey:

We recommend calling a plumbing company that specializes in sewer pipe inspections using a camera snake. The camera snake will be able to tell you the actual condition of the pipe and where there are trouble areas, breaks, clogs, etc. The snake will be able to pinpoint the location, depth, and direction of the sewer line. If part of your system is failing now, chances are the rest of the sewer line is not far behind.

The best solution to a damaged or broken sewer line is to replace it with a new pipe. However, this is not always an easy or cost-effective solution. The distance to the city sewer may be too great or extensive landscape or property damage may result from the re-piping.

If replacing the pipe is not viable, consider using a pipe liner as preventive maintenance or repairing a damaged pipe. The cost to reline a pipe is approximately $130–$150 a foot with a 50-year warranty. Balance this cost against the cost of trenching in a new line with landscape repairs and down time. A pipe liner will be as strong as the original pipe.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I hear a soft “pisssst” sound in the walls. My husband says it might be a gas leak; I think it is a water leak. Now, to complicate things, we don’t smell gas and we don’t see any water. Could this sound be anything else? Julia

Dear Julia:

You have our condolences, but it could be worse, at least it is not a slab leak! The chances of the sound being a gas leak are slim as the gas is under low pressure. The chance of smelling rotten eggs on the other hand would be high. Our guess would be your issue is a water leak. The possible reason you are not seeing any water evidence is that the leak is very small and the water is atomizing as it is leaving the pipe. The atomizing action is aided by the fact that the pipe is most likely a hot water pipe and the water is turning into steam. Because the pipe is making noise, this should help in locating the leak. Once you locate the source of the leak, open the wall large enough to complete the repairs and leave the wall open for a few days or until all the moisture is gone.

The Twilight Zone

It’s rare nowadays to read the newspaper, online outlets, or trade publications that don’t have something to say about AI. And whether you like it or not, it is here and revolutionizing the way that we live, work and think. There are many positives, including some that I am seeing in my own business as we began utilizing it about two years ago to help streamline and automate key processes and workflows like collections activity, marketing, leasing, maintenance/ service scheduling and more.

A lot has been said about how AI will eventually put people out of work— and this is absolutely true. Adapting and adopting early is key. But the issue with AI is not so much who is using it, but how you are using it and why you are using it. Both personally and professionally, I have used AI to automate processes, supplement thoughts or opinions, assist with research, and to challenge arguments, opinions or thoughts—similar to how you might

use it. But the downside to artificial intelligence is when people use it—not to supplement but to think or decide for them. I’ll tell you a story.

Last month, I was dealing with a challenging tenant issue. Challenging only because the resident is difficult for our on-site team, not that the actual issue itself is challenging. In talking with our on-site team about the issue and how to respond, I asked a simple question, “What do you think?” Crickets. “How do you think she will respond?” Uhh…more silence. Finally growing frustrated over the lack of response, I prefaced my question with a comment, “Listen, I won’t hold you to it, but what are your thoughts here? Let’s work on this together. If we…” Well, AAOC friends, I wasn’t ready for the response. “Can I get back to you? I’d like to check ChatGPT.”

“Well, that’s not really what “you” think then, is it? If ChatGPT is consulting for you, it’s speculating based on programmed facts or ideas and can be wrong. We’ve already consulted with our law firm and legal team, some of the best lawyers in California I might add, and you want a search engine to use algorithms and artificial intelligence to substitute their paid expertise, your professional insight and our efforts?” At this point, I was ready to ask ChatGPT for a solution to get me out of the situation quicker than I could by simply hanging up the phone.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m aware that you can create models and other work-

flows that can help improve or enhance some of these processes. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a real-life, on-the-job scenario where a human being is called to make a judgment call, one that accounts for experience, a feel, a knowledge and understanding of the situation, an instinct, all things that are critical to the decision-making process. A hunch. Instinct. Human. Real. Not artificial. If front-line employees can’t tell you that about the customer, someone they live next to, work with and serve on a daily basis, well, they may as well be replaced by a machine. In this very instance, my employee was actually willing to replace herself with a machine.

While this scenario is real life in 2026, it parallels one of my favorite episodes of the classic TV show, The Twilight Zone. In “The Mystic Seer (Nick of Time),” William Shatner plays Don Carter. Don becomes obsessed with a bobblehead doll that resembles the devil (how fitting) and after a series of predictions prove true, Don surrenders all personal agency to the device and is no longer able to think for himself—instead relying on the device for nearly all his life decisions. The morbid humor was amusing on a television screen, but in real life, not so much.

I am a big believer in AI and technology, but you have to be careful and understand when and how to use it to your personal and professional benefit.

Estate Planning Series

Should You Use a Professional Trustee?

As this series has unfolded, we have focused on practical steps that make an estate plan work in the real world. We talked about staying organized, about making sure information can be found, and about choosing the right person to step in when the time comes.

That last point deserves a deeper look, because one of the most important decisions in any estate plan is who will actually serve as trustee.

The trustee is not just a name on paper. The trustee is the person responsible for carrying out the instructions in the trust, managing assets, communicating with beneficiaries, and making decisions that can affect families for years. In many cases the trustee is also responsible for managing real estate, overseeing investments, filing tax returns, and coordinating with attorneys and CPAs.

That is a significant responsibility. It is also where many well-designed estate plans run into trouble.

Traditionally, families name a relative or close friend as trustee. That approach can work well when the estate is simple and the family relationships are straightforward. A trusted family member often understands the dynamics, the values behind the decisions, and the personalities involved.

However, as estates become more complex, particularly when real estate, business interests, or multiple beneficiaries are involved, the role can become demanding very quickly.

A family member serving as trustee may suddenly find themselves responsible for managing rental properties, handling disputes among siblings, making distribution decisions, and responding to questions from attorneys or accountants. Even a capable and well-intentioned person can feel overwhelmed by the scope of the role.

This is where the idea of a professional trustee enters the conversation.

A professional trustee is typically a licensed fiduciary, trust company, or

BY TIM GORMAN, REAL ESTATE BROKER/ CPA/ENTREPRENEUR/ AUTHOR

financial institution that administers trusts as part of its business. Their role is to carry out the instructions in the trust document while managing the administrative, financial, and legal responsibilities that come with it. The primary advantage is experience and objectivity.

Professional trustees deal with these issues every day. They understand the mechanics of trust administration, the reporting requirements, and the tax implications that often arise. They are also independent, which can be valuable when difficult decisions must be made among family members. A neutral third party can reduce the perception that someone is playing favorites or exercising personal influence.

A professional trustee is a consistent reliable resource—it does not move away, become ill, or suddenly decide they no longer want the role. The institution continues to operate even if individual personnel change. They also tend to keep better records and maintain a more structured process.

Of course, there are tradeoffs.

The most obvious is cost. Professional trustees charge fees for their services. These fees are typically based on a percentage of assets under management, an annual administration fee, or a combination of both. Depending on the complexity of the estate and the institution involved, those fees can range from modest to significant.

For some families, the cost feels unnecessary if a capable family member is available and willing to serve.

other cases, the cost is seen as a form of insurance against mistakes, conflicts, or administrative problems that could be far more expensive later.

Another potential drawback is flexibility. A family trustee may be able to respond informally or adapt quickly to family circumstances. Institutional trustees often operate within policies and procedures that limit how flexible they can be. While that structure protects the process, it can sometimes feel impersonal to beneficiaries.

Because of these tradeoffs, many families use a blended approach. A family member may serve as trustee but rely heavily on professional advisors for guidance. In other cases, a professional trustee may handle administration while a trusted family member serves in an advisory role. This can balance institutional oversight with personal knowledge of the family.

Another tool that has gained attention in recent years is the role of a trust protector.

A trust protector is a person or entity given limited authority to oversee certain aspects of a trust. Depending on how the document is written, a trust protector might have the ability to replace a trustee, resolve disputes, or make adjustments if laws or circumstances change over time.

The idea is to add a layer of flexibility and oversight without placing all responsibility on a single person.

For example, a trust might name a professional trustee to handle administration while giving a trusted advisor the power to replace that trustee if the relationship is not working. This creates accountability without requiring constant involvement.

There is no universal answer to the question of who should serve as trustee. The right choice depends on the size of the estate, the complexity of the assets, and the dynamics of the family involved.

In simpler situations, a responsible family member supported by professional advisors may be perfectly appropriate. In more complex estates, a

professional trustee can provide structure, neutrality, and continuity that is difficult to replicate.

The key is to evaluate the decision honestly. The role should go to the person or institution best equipped to handle the responsibility, not simply the person who seems like the obvious choice.

Because a plan that works today may need adjustment tomorrow, and the goal is not just to create a plan, but to keep it working over time.

Q&A with Dwight Kay, Founder and CEO of Kay Properties and Author of the First Book Ever Written on 721 Exchange UPREITs

Introduction:

Dwight Kay, founder and CEO of Kay Properties & Investments, recently authored a pivotal book on the increasingly popular 721 Exchange UPREIT strategy. This important guide, titled “721 Exchange UPREITs—What Investors Need to Know BEFORE Investing,” sheds critical light on important caveats investors must understand before committing capital to these complex structures. As the Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) market matures, the 721 UPREIT exit has become a focal point for thousands of investors seeking a path forward. To provide clarity on this essential topic, we sat down with Dwight Kay for an indepth Q&A on the motivations behind the book and the crucial insights every investor should possess.

Q: What inspired you to write this book?

A: The decision stemmed from a glaring gap I saw in investor education. Despite the 721 Exchange UPREIT becoming an increasingly popular and often recommended exit strategy within the DST and 1031 exchange landscape, there has never been a published volume solely dedicated to educating investors on its intricacies and potential pitfalls. This lack of a definitive resource left many investors navigating a sophisticated tax and investment strategy without a comprehensive map. I view this book as that essential map—the definitive guide for investors. It provides the critical knowledge, from foundational concepts to advanced due diligence, that is necessary before committing capital. My goal is to empower readers with education, real-world insights, and a structured framework for evaluation. At Kay Properties, we have always believed that education is the bedrock of intelligent investing as it builds trust and enables informed decisions. This philosophy has been central to our firm’s growth. Consequently, I wrote the book to be accessible and non-technical, ensuring investors at all

experience levels can grasp the potential benefits, inherent risks, and subtle nuances of 721 Exchange UPREITs.

Q: Can you explain what a 721 Exchange UPREIT is and why it attracts investors?

A: Certainly. Let’s break it down. “UPREIT” stands for Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust. It is an operating partnership, subsidiary to a REIT, that holds and manages real property assets. Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code allows an owner of real estate to contribute that property to a partnership in a tax-deferred exchange, receiving partnership interests in return. In the context we’re discussing, this allows an investor holding interests in a DST property to contribute those interests to the UPREIT partnership. In exchange, they receive Operating Partnership Units (OP Units), which represent an economic interest in the broader REIT portfolio. Investors are drawn to this strategy for several compelling reasons. Primarily, it offers a solution to defer capital gains taxes that would otherwise be triggered upon the sale of their

DST asset. Simultaneously, it provides a pathway to potentially achieve greater diversification, moving from a singleasset DST into a multi-asset REIT. Other perceived benefits include ongo ing income potential through distribu tions on the OP Units, the potential for increased liquidity, and potential estate planning advantages.

The relevance of this strategy has skyrocketed alongside the historic growth of the DST market. Equity placed into DSTs expanded from approximately $2 billion in 2015 to an estimated $7.5 billion in 2025*. This growth means a significant wave of DST investments are now nearing the end of their lifecycle. For tens of thou sands of investors, the 721 exchange has shifted from a peripheral option to a critical strategy they must understand as they evaluate their exit paths.

Q: That all sounds straight-forwards. What are some of the potential downsides or risks investors might overlook?

A: This is precisely why the book was necessary. The benefits are often high

AT BASEBALL NIGHT

lighted, but the complexities and dangers are frequently buried in fine print or not fully appreciated. Let’s unpack a few key areas:

1. Tax Advantages & The Crucial Role of Tax Protection Agreements (TPAs):

While the exchange itself is taxdeferred, the long-term tax protection is not automatic. A critical due diligence item is whether the DST’s Private Placement Memorandum includes a robust Tax Protection Agreement. A TPA is a contractual safeguard that protects investors from future tax liability if the REIT later sells the contributed property without completing a subsequent, internal 1031 exchange. Without a strong TPA—ideally with a duration of 20 years or more—investors could face an unexpected capital gains tax bill

years down the line, triggered by a decision of the REIT sponsor over which they have no control.

2. Diversification & Systemic REIT Risk:

Yes, moving from one property to a portfolio offers potential diversification**. However, it also exchanges property-specific risk for sponsor-level or systemic REIT risk. A single REIT, even with diverse assets, can be exposed to portfolio-wide risks. These include blanket loans or credit facilities, often with adjustable rates, where rising interest costs can pressure cash flows across every asset simultaneously. Furthermore, poor strategic decisions at the REIT level —such as overpaying for acquisitions, taking on excessive leverage, or mismanaging properties—can impair value regardless of the quality of the original DST asset. Investors also must consider the

“perpetual life” nature of many REITs where they can be sold to new sponsors with different strategies and risk profiles, fundamentally altering the investment an investor originally entered.

3. Income Potential & Sustainability of Distributions:

The promise of ongoing income is attractive, but investors must scrutinize the source of the distributions. Is the REIT paying dividends from genuine property operating cash flow, or is it subsidizing payouts through borrowings, new investor capital, or even a return of capital? Some perpetual life REITs may promote attractive yields by drawing on credit lines, a practice that can mask underlying weakness and jeopardize long-term stability. The key metric to analyze is the dividend coverage

ratio, specifically as measured by Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO). A distribution not fully covered by AFFO may not be sustainable.

Q: Is the 721 UPREIT conversion mandatory, or do investors have a choice?

A: This is one of the most important and often overlooked questions. The struc-

ture of the exit option is paramount. In many DST offerings with a 721 UPREIT provision, the conversion is forced or automatic upon maturity. Investors are funneled into the UPREIT regardless of their individual circumstances, current performance of the REIT, or market conditions. This loss of optionality means ceding control of a significant financial decision and in many cases, a vast majority of an investor’s net worth.

At Kay Properties, we advocate

Electrical Repair & Installation

strongly for investors to seek DST offerings that provide a fully optional 721 UPREIT path. True optionality means that at the DST’s maturity, the investor has a clear choice among typically three paths: participate in the 721 UPREIT exchange, execute a new 1031 exchange into another property, or cash out and pay the applicable taxes. This control allows the investor to make a decision aligned with their current financial goals, tax situation, and assessment of the UPREIT opportunity at that future date. Choosing a sponsor that provides this optionality is a fundamental aspect of investor protection and strategic flexibility.

Conclusion & How to Get the Book

The 721 Exchange UPREIT is a powerful, complex tool in the sophisticated investor’s toolkit. Like any powerful tool, it requires proper knowledge and caution to use effectively. Dwight Kay’s book is designed to provide that essential understanding, arming investors with the questions to ask and the pitfalls to avoid.

Housing as the American Dream

In a recent State of the Union address, President Trump spotlighted a familiar—and politically potent— housing narrative: large investment firms buying up single-family homes at the expense of everyday Americans. Casting corporate ownership as a direct threat to the American Dream, Trump told Congress:

“Now I’m asking Congress to make that ban permanent because homes are for people— really, that’s what we want. We want homes for people, not for corporations. Corporations are doing just fine.”

He framed the proposal as part of a broader effort to make housing more affordable and accessible for families, positioning it alongside other economic accomplishments. It’s a compelling soundbite. But for apartment owners and sophisticated real estate operators, the underlying economics tell a more

nuanced—and very different—story.

The Pandemic Surge: A Moment in Time, Not a Permanent Strategy

There’s no question that investor behavior shifted dramatically during the COVID era. Between 2020 and 2022, ultra-low interest rates, massive liquidity, and economic uncertainty reshaped housing markets nationwide. Data shows that institutional investor purchases of single-family homes peaked around Q2 2022, reaching an all-time high share of overall home purchases.

However, context matters. Even at their peak, large institutional investors —defined as owners of 1,000+ homes— accounted for only about 1–3% of single-family homes nationally, though their footprint was more visible in select metro areas. This was never a dominant ownership model at scale; it was a tactical response to an extraordinary economic environment. In other words, the surge was real—but it was

also temporary.

Why the Political Focus Is Already Outdated

The current push to restrict or ban institutional purchases of single-family homes largely targets a strategy that has already lost relevance. Independent of any proposed legislation, institutional capital has moved on.

Why? Because the conditions that made scattered-site, single-family rentals attractive—cheap debt and rapid appreciation—no longer exist. Higher interest rates, compressed yields, rising operating costs, and regulatory scrutiny have fundamentally changed the risk-reward equation.

The Shift to Build-to-Rent: A Rational Evolution

Today, institutional capital has decisively pivoted toward Build-To-Rent (BTR) communities. This shift isn’t ideological—it’s economic.

Build-to-Rent offers:

• Operational efficiency through scale and standardized design

• Predictable maintenance and capex, unlike aging resale housing stock

• Purpose-built density aligned with renter demand

• Zoning and entitlement clarity, often negotiated upfront

In a higher-rate environment, these efficiencies matter. Purpose-built rental housing produces more stable cash flow, better expense control, and clearer

exit options than piecemeal acquisitions of existing single-family homes.

For apartment owners, this trend should feel familiar. It mirrors the same logic that has long made professionally managed multifamily outperform other residential asset classes.

We’re Becoming a Renter Nation— Whether We Like It or Not

Despite rhetoric about expanding homeownership, the U.S. continues to move steadily toward being a rentermajority nation. Affordability constraints, higher mortgage rates, student debt, demographic shifts, and lifestyle preferences all point in the same direction.

Importantly, rental housing has emerged as the highest-performing real estate asset class over multiple cycles— particularly multifamily and institutional-grade rental communities. Capital flows follow performance, not political talking points.

The uncomfortable truth is this: efforts to restrict who can buy homes do little to address the structural supply shortage driving unaffordability. Meanwhile, demand for rental housing continues to grow—especially for professionally managed, well-located assets.

What Apartment Owners Should Take Away

For apartment owners and operators, the takeaway is clear. Institutional interest in housing is not retreating—it is refining, adapting to a market where economics, not politics, drive decisionmaking. Political narratives tend to lag real market behavior, often focusing on yesterday’s strategies while capital has already moved on. Today, build-to-rent and multifamily housing sit squarely at the intersection of demand, performance, and institutional capital, reflecting a broader shift toward professionally managed rental assets. The renter economy is not contracting; it is expanding. Whether or not Congress acts, the market already has—and it is signaling, quietly but decisively, that rental housing remains one of the most

House Committee Holds Fraud Hearing

The Big Picture

On March 5, 2026, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Financial Institutions held a hearing entitled Fighting Fraud on the Front Lines: Challenges and Opportunities for Financial Institutions

The legislation up for the hearing was:

• H.R.____, the Transaction Risk Analytics and Collaborative Exchange (TRACE) Act of 2026

• H.R.____, the Bank Fraud Technology Advancement Act of 2026

• H.R.____, the Scrutinizing Transactions for Overt Payment Fraud (STOP Fraud) Act

The hearing covered multiple topics relating to fraud in the financial services industry with implications for rental housing. The National Apartment Association (NAA) joined its partners

—the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the Real Estate Technology and Transformation Center (RETTC)—in submitting a letter outlining the ways fraud impacts the rental housing industry.

Deeper Dive

While the legislation subject to this hearing is not targeting housing specifically, many of the issues discussed directly relate to fraud in the rental housing industry. This includes identity fraud in the application process.

Members from both parties emphasized that fraud and scams are increasing in scale and sophistication, driven by factors such as social media, identity impersonation and applications using artificial intelligence (AI). Lawmakers and witnesses described financial institutions—particularly community banks and credit unions—as being on the front lines of this challenge, bearing significant operational and financial burdens.

BY JOE RITER, DIRECTOR, FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS, NATIONAL APARTMENT ASSOCIATION

Key themes included the need for better coordination across government agencies, clearer regulatory standards, modernization of federal regulations to better respond to the threat of fraud and improved information sharing with appropriate legal safe harbors.

Witnesses from banks, credit unions, consumer advocates and the legal community highlighted the realworld impacts of fraud on consumers, small businesses and financial institutions. They stressed the importance of consumer education, enhanced law enforcement resources and modernized regulatory frameworks to keep pace with evolving threats. The hearing also underscored the ongoing debate over the role of the CFPB, liability for scam-related losses and whether responsibility for fraud prevention should extend beyond financial institutions to platforms such as social media

Do the Santa Ana Mountains Mark a Major Earthquake Fault?

The Santa Ana Mountains in Orange County are one of Southern California’s most iconic natural landmarks, providing a dramatic and beautiful backdrop to communities throughout the region.

Stretching from the Whittier Fault in the north to the Santa Margarita River in the south, the range includes several prominent peaks. Among the highest are Modjeska Peak (5,496 feet) and Santiago Peak (5,689 feet), which together form

the well-known Saddleback silhouette visible across much of Orange County.

They’re a large part of the county’s culture and history. They stand more majestic than the Santa Monica Mountains, the Verdugo Mountains, Puente Hills, Coyote Hills—all of which have active faults under them.

How did our Santa Ana ridgeline come to be? Did an earthquake fault cause them to rise long ago?

To answer that, let’s step back and take a look at the small but lovely San Joaquin Hills nearby.

A University of California, Irvine, researcher in the early 2000s set out to study the source of that coastal ridge and presented evidence that it rose from the sea because of an undiscovered blind thrust fault capable of producing an earthquake up to magnitude 7.1.

Lisa Grant, an expert in paleoseismology, earthquake geology, neotectonics, environmental geology and public health, determined the San Joaquin Hills fault runs northwest to southeast following the coastline near the 405 Freeway at the Santa Ana River, to the El Toro Y and then along the 5 freeway to Dana Point—snaking its way under Newport Beach, Irvine, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach, and San Juan Capistrano.

Later her research turned to the larger Santa Ana mountains—believing those peaks, which the USGS says are growing at a rate of 3/10 of a millimeter per year —are the result of a blind thrust fault.

To date, the existence of that fault

BY ALI SAHABI

has not yet been proven.

“We haven’t had that earthquake to tell us exactly where it is,” she said in a UCI article on her research.

Another Puente Hills?

Don’t think the lack of proof means the fault isn’t there.

Seismologists have since discovered a hidden fault in Los Angeles more dreaded than the San Andreas.

A study by the University of Southern California says the Puente Hills Fault has the capacity to produce “the costliest disaster in U.S. history.”

As many as 18,000 people would die, 735,000 would lose their homes, and up to 100,000 tons of debris would be generated. The total economic loss would be as high as $252 billion.

Puente Hills is a blind thrust fault, the same kind Grant said the undiscovered fault under the Santa Anas would be. She based those findings on the geology of the ridge. Blind thrust faults rupture with one side of the fault pushing up and over the bottom side.

It was this type of fault that set off the deadly Northridge quake of 1994.

Thrust earthquakes create an accumulated strain that bends the earth’s crust in spots, where the fault has locked up. Seismologists believe that these areas are most prone to future earthquakes.

Is Grant right? Is Orange County truly threatened by its own sleeping giant of a fault? Only time will tell.

War, the Economy and Rental Housing

How do these pieces fit together?

As of the writing of this article in mid-March, current geopolitical circumstances present a case study.

We’re talking about the war in Iran, the topic now dominating broadcast news, social media, and conversation at your local Starbucks.

We hasten to note, however, that in today’s cyber speed world it’s entirely possible that by the time this magazine reaches you a cease fire could be in place (one can only hope). In any event, whether battles continue to rage or peace is at hand, there are lessons to be learned and conclusions to be drawn as to the repercussions from this war.

For the record, while this article uses the word “war” to describe the hostilities, government officials sometimes reference it with somewhat softer terms such as “conflict,” “military operation,” or “excursion.”

Regardless of nomenclature, what we know is that the U.S., Israel, Iran, and a number of other Middle East nations presently find themselves in one hell of a scrape that’s having global ramifications.

Which leads back to the primary question being examined here: Is there actually a through line that connects exploding drones in the Middle East to apartments in Anaheim?

I answer this in the affirmative— yes, apartment investors will be among those feeling the effects, But, the impact in Orange County and elsewhere may

be relatively minimal if the conflict is resolved swiftly. And, of course, that is the trillion-dollar question: How long will war prevail? As a reminder, we all miscalculated the duration of the war in Ukraine. It was initially supposed to be a three-day Russian walkover. That was four years and an estimated 1.8 million casualties ago.

Back to Iran, there are multiple ways this war will filter into the economy and ultimately bleed into the rental housing sector.

Let’s start with interest rates, which instantly reacted on Day 1 of the attack. So far, at the two-week mark, intermediate and long-term multifamily rates are up between .25% and .375%. On a $1 million apartment loan, that translates to an extra $2,500 to $3,750 per year in annual interest versus what was available immediately before military actions began.

Additionally, to no one’s surprise, the cost of oil has risen dramatically. The price per barrel jumped by about 39% in just two weeks since the first bombs dropped. At $100 per barrel (today’s quote), we’re seeing prices at the pump up about $.50 to $.75 per gallon. Some analysts are speculating about $150–$200/barrel oil if the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows, continues to be a choke point. As of this writing, 400-to-500 loaded tankers were reportedly in limbo awaiting safe passage through the strait.

When petroleum costs rise, naturally,

so too do charges on its many byproducts, such as plastics and fertilizer.

Ultimately, rising costs feed into inflation which then tends to increase consumer prices across the board, another potential economic offshoot of the war.

As the dominos fall, an elevated inflation/consumer cost environment would tend to burden apartment tenants, diminishing their buying power and squeezing their ability to pay rent, which in turn limits the ability of landlords to collect rent and fill vacant units.

Finally, the price tag of war to our country—$11.3 billion over the first six days according to the NY Times— eventually traces back to U.S. taxpayers to pay the tab. Some piece of that cost is picked up by apartment owners and many of the one-third of Americans who rent their residences.

The overall point here is that the domestic tranquility we so fortunately enjoy 7,500 miles and a large ocean away from the Middle East war zone, does not mean that we are somehow fully insulated from its impact.

We hope and pray for rapid resolution, first and foremost, for the combatants and the civilians in harm’s way. But on a secondary and pragmatic level, there’s also deep concern for the economic and commercial interests that face real damage should this war drag on for an extended period. Here’s to a speedy outcome and minimal further bloodshed.
