Maximize Your Membership by Getting Involved

As a longtime member of the Apartment Association of Orange County (AAOC) and as a member of the board as we came out of the COVID shutdown five years ago, I have had the privilege of seeing our association and our multifamily community grow—not just in terms of numbers, but in strength, professionalism, and resilience. If there’s one thing I’ve learned as an AAOC member, it’s this: the real value of our membership doesn’t come in utilizing one or two specific services, as needed. It’s in showing up, getting involved, and engaging with one another—as part of larger rental-housing community. AAOC is our hub for connection, growth and knowledge, things that help make us better housing providers and industry service providers.

AAOC is only as strong as its members and their members’ commitment to being active and involved on many levels. When you are truly involved and engaged in our association, you’re not just calling for occasional operational guidance or attending membership meetings—you’re taking additional steps to invest in your own success and helping shape the future of this industry in which you have a stake and vested interest.

Let’s start with education. Our industry is constantly evolving. Laws change. Regulations shift. Market conditions fluctuate. Whether you own or manage rental housing, staying informed isn’t optional—it’s essential. AAOC’s

education programs are designed to keep you ahead of the curve. From legal and legislative updates to fair housing compliance and maintenance training, to property marketing and leasing strategies, to tips for achieving greater operational efficiency and adapting to emerging technology, and more, AAOC providers education programs that offer practical, real-world knowledge that you can—and often should— implement immediately.

But beyond the educational content, there’s something equally valuable that comes when you attend AAOC’s webinars and training sessions: perspective. When you attend classes and seminars together with your fellow members— whether online or in-person—people ask questions, discuss challenges, and share solutions. You quickly realize that you’re not alone dealing with any number of issues or circumstances. Someone else has been there—and often, they’re more than willing to share what worked for them. That kind of collaborative learning simply doesn’t happen when you stay on the sidelines.

Networking mixers are another powerful benefit of engagement. I know “networking” can sometimes sound intimidating or transactional, but AAOC’s Multifamily Mingles, for example, are anything but. They’re relaxed, welcoming, and fun environments that foster connection and the development of relationships based on a common interest. Owners connect with property managers and management

company representatives. Suppliers meet and build relationships with owners and operators. Over time, those introductions and conversations can turn into trusted partnerships.

In my own experience and in my conversations with other owner and operator members over the years, one thing is clear, our most reliable vendor relationships—and even long-term clients often originated from a simple conversation at an AAOC meeting or event. When you do business with fellow AAOC members, there’s a shared understanding of professionalism and accountability. We speak the same language. We understand the same regulatory landscape. We have similar stories. That common ground builds trust quickly.

And then there’s our annual AAOC Rental Housing Show—one of the most dynamic days of the year. It’s more than walking through an exhibit hall and checking out vendor booths. It’s a day where innovation, discovery, and education flows. For suppliers, it’s an opportunity to meet decision-makers face-to-face and demonstrate value directly. For rental owners and operators, it’s a chance to discover new products, ask questions, evaluate options, and build a bench of trusted resources. Plus, the free education seminars and maintenance demonstrations provide a wide range of information that you can immediately put to good use. In one day, you gain exposure to ideas and

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.

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

California Moves Closer Toward Study of New State Transportation Funding Structure

One of the more controversial measures that was approved by the Assembly at the end of January was AB 1421 (Wilson), a bill that is widely misunderstood and is remarkably precedential.

In the long run, should it be fully implemented, it will affect everyone who drives a vehicle. As amended, it requires the California Transportation Commission (CTC), in consultation with the Transportation Agency (CalSTA), to consolidate and prepare research and recommendations related to a road user charge or mileage-based fee system. Driving a vehicle for pleasure or work could very well be affected if the direction of the bill is fully implemented.

The bill:

• Requires the CTC to prepare and submit a report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature by January 1, 2027, that addresses:

– Current and future inequities related to low-income drivers commuting farther in less efficient vehicles (we have no idea what the proponents of the measure mean by this requirement);

– The impact of weigh-per-mile fee for commercial and electric vehicles on the motor vehicle industry (whatever this means is a mystery); and

– Regional and state solutions for implementing a road user charge

in the state, including out-ofstate vehicles (a standard which has never been applied and is arguably impossible to define).

• Requires the research and recommendations to incorporate existing findings from state and academic sources including the report that CalSTA prepares.

• Requires the CTC to consult with state agencies including the California Department of Transportation (CDT), Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and the Controller, in addition to representatives of local governments, regional transportation agencies, privacy and data security experts, equity and environmental justice organizations, academia, transportation user groups and organizations representing zero emission vehicle owners and manufacturers. The bill does not identify or include large or small business, senior groups, marginalized populations, etc.

Existing law requires the Chair of the CTC to create a road user charge technical advisory committee in consultation with the Secretary of CalSTA to guide the development and evaluation of a pilot program assessing the potential for mileage-based revenue collections as an alternative to the gas tax. Note: current state transportation

funding is supported by several taxes and vehicle fees:

Fuel Taxes:

Gas

Diesel sales tax: 13 percent

Vehicle fees:

Transportation improvement fees: $32 to $227

Road improvement fee $118

Weight fees $8 to $2,064

Total $14.4 Billion

Gas taxes are the primary source of state funding for the state’s transportation infrastructure system. The state constitution mandates that the gas tax revenue be used exclusively for “research, planning, construction, and improvement of exclusive public mass transit guideways” (including the famous bullet train). In addition to funding road maintenance, the gas tax funds programs that support state, regional and local government transportation projects.

What has “driven” use to this point? Advancements in fuel efficiency, massive personal, business, and government investment into ZEV, and hybrid vehicles. So, increasing the adoption and application of zero-emission vehicles and increasing fuel efficiency in internal combustion engines have led to the decline in state transportation revenues over the long run.

Housing Policy Is Business Policy— Even If City Halls Pretend Otherwise

There is a comforting myth circulating in city halls across Orange County that housing policy exists in a neat little bubble, safely isolated from the broader economy. Regulate rents over here. Track evictions over there. Build a registry, hire some staff, collect a fee, and call it compassion and accountability.

Unfortunately, for the business community and the people who actually have to make payroll, reality refuses to cooperate.

Simply put—Housing policy is business policy. It always has been. And the recent wave of local and state legislative and regulatory proposals targeting multifamily housing should concern anyone who depends on a stable workforce, a predictable regulatory environment, or a city budget that doesn’t quietly bleed into the red.

Let’s start with Santa Ana, because Santa Ana has become the case study that keeps on giving.

Santa Ana—The Example of What Not to Do

Since 2021, the city has rolled out rent control, expanded it, refined it, and then enshrined it through a ballot initiative so future councils can’t easily change course—even if the numbers stop working. The policy architecture is impressive in its ambition: rent caps, justcause eviction requirements, a mandatory rental registry, hearing officers, enforcement staff, advisory boards, and an administrative apparatus that rivals a small state agency.

The price tag? Millions of dollars annually—far more than initially projected—with the predictable result that the General Fund now has to absorb the difference. In other words, when the program costs more than expected, it’s not “the landlords” paying the bill. It’s everyone else. Police, fire, infrastructure, business services—all competing for the same shrinking pot of money.

Even better, compliance has lagged. Owners who are supposed to register units and participate in the system have struggled to navigate the process, not because they’re “bad actors,” but because the system itself is complex, new, and constantly evolving. If the goal was smooth implementation, Santa Ana has achieved something closer to bureaucratic whiplash.

Then there’s the irony that doesn’t get talked about at city council meetings: rent control has changed owner behavior in precisely the opposite way advocates promised. Property owners who histori-

cally raised rents slowly—or not at all—to keep long-term tenants in place are now incentivized to raise rents more consistently, and earlier, because future increases are tightly capped. When you tell someone that they may not be able to adjust prices later, they adjust them now. That’s not greed. That’s basic math—and self-preservation.

Costa Mesa—Following Suit or Carving a Better Path?

While Santa Ana was perfecting its regulatory model, Costa Mesa decided to borrow some of the same ideas – but with a twist. City leaders are now considering an “at-fault” eviction registry and a potential rent registry, designed to collect data on things that are already regulated by state law and already tracked through existing legal systems.

The premise is simple: If we just gather more data, surely the problem will reveal itself.

The reality is less inspiring. Building a registry requires startup costs, ongoing technology costs, staffing, enforcement, and inevitable disputes over accuracy and compliance. It also requires the city to insert itself directly into private lease relationships—a role that local governments have historically avoided for good reason.

What problem does this solve? Even city staff acknowledge that at-fault evictions are not widespread, nor are excessive rent increases. But why let

that get in the way of a new program?

Anaheim—Activists or AAOC Members— Who Will Win?

Meanwhile, in Anaheim, activists are warming up the ballot initiative machine. A rent control and just-cause eviction ballot measure recently submitted to the city for title and summary is looking to begin the signature-gathering phase to try qualifying it for the 2026 General Election ballot. If proponents collect roughly 18,000 valid signatures within the allotted time, Anaheim voters could be asked to approve sweeping rent regulations later this year.

This matters because Anaheim is not just any city. It is one of Orange County’s largest economic and employment centers, drawing workers from across the region. Policies that discourage housing investment here don’t just affect residents within city limits. They affect traffic and commute times, labor availability, and the cost of doing business countywide.

And looming over all of this is Sacramento.

The California Legislature— Is the Tide Turning?

Assembly Bill 1157 attempted to permanently extend and tighten statewide rent control by removing the 2030 sunset established seven years ago under Assembly Bill 1492. While the bill failed earlier this year, anyone who has spent time in the Capitol knows that failed ideas rarely stay failed. “Gut and amend” season is always around the corner, and language has a way of reappearing when attention wanes.

At the same time, there are bills that would actually address real problems. Assembly Bill 1771 would modernize outdated on-site manager requirements, allowing small and mid-sized properties to share management resources. This is exactly the kind of reform that helps preserve naturally affordable housing without adding new subsidies or bureaucracies. Unsurprisingly, it has received far less attention.

There is also renewed momentum behind legislation that would allow law enforcement to assist with removing “unauthorized occupants” (i.e. squatters) – an issue that has quietly become a safety and insurance nightmare for property owners and other businesses.

Providing property owners and law enforcement with tools to help stabilize neighborhoods isn’t anti-tenant. It’s pro-community.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Taken together, these policies reveal a troubling pattern. Cities and the state are increasingly comfortable layering regulation on top of regulation, building costly administrative systems, and assuming the economic consequences will be absorbed somewhere—frankly, anywhere—else.

But those consequences don’t disappear. They show up in workforce instability. They show up in reduced reinvestment. They show up when city budgets quietly strain under the weight of programs that sounded good on paper but never penciled out.

The multifamily housing industry is not asking for special treatment. It’s asking for policies that acknowledge economic reality. Housing is infrastructure. It supports the workforce that keeps businesses running and cities solvent. Ignore that reality long enough, and everyone ends up paying the rent— whether they live in an apartment or not.

knowledge that can help improve your operations, reduce costs, enhance resident satisfaction, maximize your bottom line, and protect yourself and your business interests.

Perhaps the most impactful way to engage, however, is through committee participation. Committees are where the real work of the association happens. They help us plan education topics, shape events, support advocacy efforts, and ensure we’re delivering programs that reflect current member needs. When you serve on a committee, you gain a voice and contribute to the direction of AAOC. You also develop leadership

Commission estimates that the state and local governments will face a $31 billion shortfall over the next 10 years due to declining gas tax revenues.

California is not the only state to face transportation tax shortfalls. Connecticut estimates that their gas tax revenues fell by 4.2% between 2012 and 2021. They claim that the loss in revenue is due primarily to vehicle electrification.

Transition to cleaner and more fuelefficient vehicles is not benefitting all income groups equally. Lower-income populations tend to drive older and less fuel-efficient vehicles and commute farther to work. Higher-income households tend to purchase a higher percentage of ZEVs in the state.

The financial impact of imposing a mileage-usage tax in the state will affect households and businesses differently. Every business and household will be affected. The details regarding how the tax will be applied will be revealed next year. At this point, there are more questions than answers.

Questions & Answers

My brother and I have been in this business a long time now, with enough knowledge and experience to have avoided any evictions or real problems. We just had our first vacancy in nine years and we are about to start accepting applications. I vaguely remember hearing about some new screening laws that went into effect recently and I’m hoping you can give me an overview. I heard I am now required to accept the first person who meets my screening criteria. Is that true?

BONA FIDE MORTGAGE

Apar tment Financing

Yes and no. As of January 1, 2025, landlords who accept screening fees are required to choose between two approaches.

The first approach applies where you intend to keep the screening fees paid by applicants whose application you consider. In that situation, you are required to provide the applicants with your written screening criteria with the application. Moreover, you are required to adopt a “first qualified, first approved” approach. In other words, the first person who qualifies under your criteria must be accepted as your tenant.

The second approach eliminates that requirement but requires you to refund the screening fee to any applicant who is not approved, within the lesser of seven days of selecting an acceptable applicant or 30 days of denying the nonapproved applicant. Under this situation, you are permitted to accept the “best qualified” applicant, rather than the “first qualified.”

While others may have legitimate reasons for differing opinions, I believe keeping the right to choose the “best qualified” applicant provides a little flexibility to the landlord to consider different risk scenarios and outweighs the cost of the screening fee.

I own a four-plex in Anaheim. I have a young lady who just moved into the building. Her application stated she is a nonsmoker, but the neighboring tenants have

complained to me that she is smoking marijuana both in her apartment and in her car in the parking lot. When I referred her to the “no-smoking” provision in her lease, she laughed and told me I can’t enforce it because the next door tenant smokes as well. It’s true. The guy next to her has lived there forever and is a smoker. Otherwise, he is a great tenant. Is there a way I can turn the building into a “smokefree” environment for all the tenants, even for those whose rental agreements don’t prohibit it?

Sure. Most cities have no-smoking ordinances and studies show that more than 90% of tenants prefer living in a non-smoking environment. With regard to the young lady, simply serve a 3-day warning, citing the specific provision she is violating and, if she continues to ignore it, serve a 3-day “quit” notice once the warning notice has expired.

With regard to the gentleman who smokes, you will first need to serve a 30-day change in terms of tenancy changing the rental agreement to prohibit smoking any type of product, anywhere on the property. Once the thirty days pass, the new “no-smoking” rules go into effect and you will repeat the same process as the one you used with the young lady. Anaheim doesn’t have its own “just cause” ordinance, so the property likely falls under the Tenant Protection Act which does not prohibit landlords from changing the terms of the tenancy.

Finally, if the other rental agreements are similar to the one you have with the gentleman, it would make sense to change the terms of those tenancies as well, even if the tenants in those apartment don’t smoke. You can turn the entire building into a “no-smoking” building at the same time.

I have a couple who applied to rent my one-bedroom apartment. They came to look at it with four kids in tow. They filled out the application and listed all four as their children. This is a very small apartment, and there is no way six people can fit in it. I’m concerned that denying them will lead to a claim that I discriminated against them based on the fact they have kids. How do I deal with this without opening a can of worms?

Simply because it is illegal to discriminate against people who have children doesn’t mean you have to rent a onebedroom apartment to a family of six

people. Reasonable space-to-people ratios can be used when used for objective health and safety purposes, provided you aren’t using those ratios as a cover story for denying them when, in fact, you simply don’t want kids around. In other words, if you wouldn’t rent the apartment to six adults then denying an applicant whose household consists of six people won’t get you in trouble, even if four of them are children. While some local jurisdictions have attempted to limit a landlord’s ability to deny applicants or evict for overcrowding, California’s Civil Rights Department still uses the general “guideline” of “two-plus-one” (two people per bedroom plus one additional occupant for the living area) as a general rule of thumb when investigating matters like this. Simply apply it consistently and be able to defend your rationale.

My wife and I just bought a foreclosed property at a trustees’ sale. While we ini-

tially thought we would move into it, we just discovered she is pregnant and we are now having second thoughts and may decide to simply keep it as a rental. We know there are people living in it, but we don’t know anything about them, including whether they are the former owner or tenants who rented from him. One of the neighbors seems to think they are tenants, but they aren’t sure, since they moved in around the same time the house sold to the last owner. What are our options here? If we decide to move in, can we? Or do we have to let them live there if they are renters?

The first thing you will want to do is go to the property and introduce yourself. A lot of headaches can be avoided by simply speaking with people. Let them know you are the new owner, exchange contact information, and assuming they claim to be tenants, ask them for a copy of any written agreement they might have between them and the prior owner.

and see how much information you can obtain. Regardless of their receptiveness, it is very likely you will be able to terminate their occupancy and take possession, provided you follow the post-foreclosure laws. Specifically, the “Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 Act.”

The Act states that prior owners are only entitled to 3-days’ notice to vacate, while month-to-month tenants are

generally entitled to 90 days’ notice, (unless there are tenant protections in place under a “just cause” ordinance, in which case you will need to follow the ordinance). The Act also provides that fixed-term leases signed before the Notice of Foreclosure survive the foreclosure and the tenants are protected until the end of the lease, provided they are “bona-fide tenants.” An exception exists where the purchaser who bought it from the trustees’ sale wants to live in the property.

So, what does a “bona-fide tenant” mean? The phrase “bona-fide” means: 1) the tenant is neither the spouse, child, or parent of the former owner; 2) the lease between the former owner and the tenant was negotiated as an “arms’ length” transaction; and, 3) the rent isn’t “substantially below” fair market value. In other words, the law isn’t designed to protect family members of the prior owner, nor is it designed to protect former owners who enter into “sham” leases for unreasonably low rent in order to remain in the property after it was lost to a foreclosure.

On the other hand, if you decide against moving in right away and you are agreeable to allowing the tenants to remain in possession, the Act also states that a new owner can enforce the lease or rental agreement. This means that as soon as the rent becomes due after you purchased it, the tenant has to pay you as the new owner. If the tenant doesn’t pay, you can give that tenant a three-day notice to pay rent or quit if necessary. Be careful here. Civil Code 1962 has very specific requirements about information you must provide to the tenant before you can attempt to evict them for non-payment of rent after ownership or management has changed—seek the advice of a competent landlord-tenant attorney.

The information is presented and intended to address the topic(s) covered above in a general nature. There may be significant differences between jurisdictions with “rent control” and/or “just cause” ordinances, and the facts surrounding your specific situation should be presented to your attorney for review.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Maintenance Men:

A resident is complaining that their water heater is knocking and making rumbling noises. They are worried it might explode. What is the problem and how do I fix the rumbling issues? Jane

Dear Jane:

First, the water heater will not explode. However, it could leak if this issue is left unchecked. Sediment collects at the bottom of the tank and traps water under layers of minerals such as calcium and lime. When the burner heats the water, the trapped water boils and bubbles up causing the rumbling or knocking noise. The solution is to flush the water heater of any accumulated sediment. We will assume the tank in question is not a commercial unit with a clean out port.

Flushing procedure:

1. Turn off the gas or breaker to the heater.

2. Turn off the water supply above the tank.

3. Connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank so the water can drain away from the heater. Leave this valve closed for the moment.

4. Open a hot water valve in the unit such as a shower valve or kitchen faucet.

5. Open the valve at the bottom of the tank to let the water drain through the hose. Caution: This water will be hot.

6. Allow the tank to drain completely.

7. Once the tank is empty, open and close the cold-water valve above the water heater. This will help flush any remaining sediment from the tank. Do this until the water runs clear out of the hose connected to the heater drain valve.

8. Close the drain valve and disconnect the hose from the bottom of the tank.

9. Open the cold-water valve above the water heater to fill the tank.

10. When water starts coming out of the shower or kitchen valves, the tank is full. Turn off the shower and kitchen valves. Leave the cold-water valve above the water heater open.

11. Re-light the gas burner pilot and turn on the burner, or switch on the breaker for an electric heater.

This procedure should be part of your preventive maintenance routine and done once a year, every year.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I want to install some low voltage landscape lighting in the courtyard of my apartment building and I need some advice. Should I go with a wired system or a solar powered system? Chuck

Dear Chuck:

Good question! Solar lighting looks attractive and it is very easy to install. You can’t get more plug and play than sticking the light fixture in the ground and waiting for the sun to charge up the light. Unfortunately, as great as solar energy seems, it does have some drawbacks. The light produced can be dim and may not last the whole night. The fixture must be in direct sunlight to recharge. If you want to use it to simply mark a path, it will do a good job, but if you want it to light up the path, it does not have enough power. To light up a path or area, a wired, low voltage system is best. You will need to determine how many lights you will use and the wattage of the bulbs in each fixture. The wattage information will help you determine what size transformer and wire to use. Light bulbs range in wattage from 4 watts to 50 watts. Do not exceed the bulb wattage as dictated by the transformer. As an example: a 300watt transformer will support twelve, 25-watt light fixtures or thirty, 10-watt fixtures. Transformers range from 88

watts, 100 watts, 200 watts and 300 watts. There are transformers that list their wattage as high as 600 watts and 900 watts. Typically, the 600- and 900watt transformers allow the use of multiple cables from one transformer. As far as what gauge wire to use, again, wattage will determine the wire size. For example: Max 150-watts, use 16-gauge wire, 200-watts, use 14-gauge wire, and 300-watts, use 12-gauge wire. Keeping the above numbers in mind, using LED landscape lighting will dramatically change the amount of transformer power you will need. We highly recommend using LED fixtures in your landscape lighting designs.

Dear Maintenance Men:

We are heading into spring after a tough winter. Do you have a “springtime” list of maintenance tips? Bill

Dear Bill:

What a great question! Yes, we do have a few tips.

1. We like to start at the top and check the roof for any winter damage. Check the flashing, roof transitions and fascia boards. Don’t forget to check any downspouts and drain covers.

2. Check all the windows and make sure they are well sealed. Clean out the weep holes in any aluminum window frames and caulking on wooden windows. This is a good time to put a drop of grease on the moving parts of the crank out windows. Check screens for holes and replace any missing screens.

3. Check the proper operation of all smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Keep note of the original install date and the date each alarm was checked thereafter for your records.

4. Check the building’s siding, brick, and stucco walls for cracks, peeling paint, and rot.

5. Clean out air conditioning filters and vents. Remove any lint, dust,

and dirt from around A/C coils.

6. Check sidewalks, stairs, decks, balconies, and ramps for cracks, lifting, and possible water intrusion.

7. Turn on and check all lawn sprinkler valves and look for broken heads, pipes, and errant concrete watering.

8. Inspect water heaters and boilers for proper operation.

9. Check and adjust any exterior lights and timers.

10. Check on your residents and ask for any feedback on anything that might need repair. They live at the building, day in and day out. Their input can be quite valuable in terms of preventive maintenance and resident relations.

COVER YOUR ASSETS

Why You Always Need Three…or More

Last summer, we re-roofed a small property in our portfolio. After obtaining three bids, all ranging from about $42,000 to $78,000, I got a call from a salesperson from a roofing company that I had recently seen advertise in a trade publication. Would I be interested in a proposal on any upcoming jobs? “Sure,” I said. We are in the final stages of bidding a job right now and I would like to invite them to provide the fourth and final proposal. They were quick to follow up and sent me a package in the mail with references, photos of completed jobs and more. It was quite the presentation.

About a week later, I received by email a link to access their cost estimate. Excited to finally finish the bidding, I opened the email, clicked the link and logged in to access the proposal. By this point, I was invested. The presentation had been top notch, and though it was a nuisance to create a login in order to access the bid, “this should be good,” I

thought.

After clicking the link, the number on the screen stared back at me. $138,000. Wait, what? This was between $60k to $96k higher than my other proposals. Had they seen the property? Did they look at the right building? Were they using some kind of epoxy coating made out of Tiffany diamonds? I had many questions and they could only be answered by picking up the phone to call and find out.

I cut through the small talk quickly and indicated that I was looking to discuss their proposal and so they put me on the phone with their salesperson. After thanking them for their time, I asked if they had visited the property. “Yes.” Could they send a photo of the building that they bid on? “Yes.” They did promptly send photos. I confirmed that it was, in fact, our property. So now for the last question, “can you please take me through your pricing? I never share the specifics of bids with vendors, but you guys put so much time and effort into the presentation, I figure it’s only right to try and get this figured out.” So, I asked the $80,000 question: “of the three other bids we received, you are anywhere from $60k to $96k higher. Are you sure this is accurate? “

My guess was that he would say something to the effect of, “let me look at the bid and I’ll get back to you,” or maybe even, “let me see if there’s anything we can do.” Instead, he pauses and says, “that’s fine. You can work with them if you want to.” Wait, what? All that time

and effort into the prospecting efforts with telephone calls, impressive mail and the online portal and you’re just going to bow out with a price so high it would’ve impressed Cheech and Chong? I was actually more surprised by his response than I was the price.

A mentor of mine used to say, “focus on the next deal, not the last dollar,” and in this case, the prospective vendor was apparently not focused on either. In this instance, we did opt for the lowest bid as it was a vendor we have worked with in the past and they did a great job. Even still, with an existing relationship, trust and all the components of a successful working relationship, we got three bids and sat down with our client to make the decision. Consider this your periodic reminder to always get multiple bids for your property projects and recurring expenses. You never know what you’ll find, even if it turns out to be more for entertainment than education purposes.

Estate Planning Series

Choosing the Right Person and Preparing Them Without Overwhelm

In last month’s article, we focused on where estate information should live and how the right person finds it when it matters. That work is essential, but it naturally leads to the next issue. Even the best organized system will fail if the wrong person is asked to step in, or if the right person is never prepared to act.

This is where many otherwise solid estate plans quietly break down. The documents are in place. The information

is accessible. Yet when the successor trustee or executor is needed, hesitation sets in. Not because the person is careless or incapable, but because the responsibility feels heavier than expected and the starting point is unclear.

Choosing the right person is less about titles and more about reality. The question is not who should serve, but who can. Managing an estate often means coordinating with attorneys and CPAs, dealing with lenders, overseeing real estate or business interests, and navigating family dynamics, sometimes all at once. The role does not require technical expertise, but it does require organization, responsiveness, and a willingness to engage.

Availability matters just as much as capability. Many people name someone they trust without considering whether that person has the time or bandwidth to serve. Someone running a demanding business, raising young children, managing health issues, or living far

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

away may care deeply but still struggle to take on the role when the moment arrives. This is not a failure of commitment. It is a matter of logistics. A capable and available person often serves better than a well-intentioned but overwhelmed one.

Willingness should never be assumed. One of the most common mistakes I see is naming a trustee or executor without ever having the conversation. These roles are responsibilities, not symbolic gestures. A simple, direct discussion makes all the difference. Explain what the role generally involves, emphasize that professional advisors will be there to help, and ask whether they are willing to serve if needed. A clear “yes” provides confidence. A hesitant answer is useful information and should be taken seriously.

Preparation does not mean turning someone into an expert. It means reducing uncertainty. The goal is not to explain every possible scenario or walk

through every document in detail. That approach overwhelms people and often causes them to disengage. Effective preparation focuses on first steps: Where the documents are stored, Who the key advisors are, and What should happen in the first few days.

This can usually be accomplished in a single conversation. A short walkthrough of the system you have already built, paired with a simple roadmap, is often enough. When people know where to start and who to call, they are far more likely to step into the role with confidence.

Professional advisors play an important role here as well. Many people hesitate to serve because they are afraid of making a mistake. It helps to be explicit that the trustee or executor is not expected to act alone. Attorneys, CPAs, property managers, and financial advisors exist to guide the process. Their job is to help execute decisions, not to leave someone guessing. Knowing that support is built in

changes how the role feels.

It is also important to name backups and to revisit these choices over time. Life changes. People move. Circumstances shift. A plan that reflects current relationships and realities works far better than one based on assumptions made years earlier.

Communication should be clear but measured. The primary and backup decision makers should know the plan exists and understand their role. Other family members usually only need to know who is in charge. Oversharing details can create unnecessary anxiety, while silence creates confusion. Clarity at the right level reduces conflict later.

A simple test helps bring this into focus. If the person you named had to step in tomorrow, would they know what to do in the first 48 hours? If the answer is no, the solution is rarely complex. One conversation, one walkthrough, or one clarifying document often closes the gap.

Estate planning is not just about

documents and storage. It is about people. The right person, prepared just enough, is what turns a plan on paper into something that actually works when it is needed.

In next month’s article, we will look at how to keep this plan current over time without constantly starting over, and how to avoid the trap of endless revisions that never feel finished.

Three Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Seismic Retrofit

If you live or work in Southern California, you’re well aware that seismic activity is a constant reality. Earthquakes, both large and small, continue to serve as reminders of the region’s vulnerability and the importance of preparing buildings to withstand future events.

It can be a little frightening, feeling the ground shift and sway under our feet. Rocking like a boat on stormy seas, we typically ask ourselves, “How much

longer is this going to last; will it get bigger?” The truth in this response is that—in the back of our minds—we all know “The Big One” is lurking underground, ready to strike at any moment. When it does, we know, it could have devastating impacts on our financial security, injure us, or even worse.

So why don’t we do more to protect ourselves against the inevitable?

Many soft-story apartment owners put off their retrofits out of dread that

BY ALI SAHABI

they may experience issues with tenants, encounter problems with construction, or lose valuable parking spaces when time isn’t taken to develop an engineering design that minimizes impact on everyone, including the structure itself.

Here are some helpful tips to alleviate these concerns, enabling you to get the most out of your retrofit.

Preserve parking spaces

Many soft-story apartment owners worry that a seismic retrofit will mean the loss of parking spaces—both during and after construction.

This can happen if the design of the project is such that the steel moment frame or frames installed will take up space that was otherwise dedicated to parking. These frames are necessary to

absorb seismic ground motion and prevent swaying, but they can be placed in a manner that minimizes any impact on parking.

Generally speaking, with a little ingenuity and careful design, the vast majority of these spaces can be saved. Your engineering study, when done right, will identify the most effective and economical option specific to your property. This also avoids permitting delays and/or the need for costly revi-

Electrical Repair & Installation

RESIDENTIAL

sions in the future.

Parking can also be preserved during construction, by simply covering trenches at the end of each day so that tenants can drive over them and park in their usual spots during non-work hours.

Minimize construction impacts

A lot can go wrong when proper steps aren’t taken to ensure a clean and safe work site.

In retrofit construction—particularly for wood-framed, soft-story structures— unprotected trenches can present a safety hazard to construction workers and residents alike. A messy work area can also pose problems: impacting quality of life for tenants and presenting hazards as well.

Caution tape is not an adequate defense against mishaps and/or curious onlookers.

It’s important that the work area be kept tidy and all trenches covered at the end of the construction day. Keeping it orderly is the first step in protecting the safety of both workers and tenants. It also enhances workplace efficiency, adding to your chances of getting your project done on time, and on budget.

Hire a specialist

The passage of L.A.’s seismic retrofit law has resulted in a burst of startup companies and general contractors advertising themselves as retrofit experts.

This is important because general liability for contractors is based on a specific trade classification. Be sure that the company you hire is insured specifically for seismic retrofit work. If not, insurance companies may try to reject claims, and liability could be passed on to you.

Also, make sure your contractor has done at least five projects in the past year and verify the work by contacting the building owner or manager and doing an inspection of the site. Inspect the placement of structural elements and the impact of the retrofit on the use

Who Should Be Allowed to Own Housing?

In early 2026, the debate over who should be allowed to own housing— particularly single-family residences (SFRs)—moved from rhetoric to federal action. A January 2026 executive order issued under by The Trump Administration directed federal agencies to limit large institutional participation in the SFR market, prioritizing owneroccupants over corporate buyers. While framed as an affordability measure, the policy raises important questions about supply, unintended consequences, and regulatory precedent.

Rental Housing and Market Reality

Rental housing remains one of the strongest-performing asset classes in the U.S. High mortgage rates, affordability challenges, and demographic shifts have pushed more households into renting, increasing demand across both multifamily and single-family rentals. Policies that restrict ownership without expanding supply risk tightening an

already constrained rental market.

Why Institutions Entered the SFR Market

Institutional investors entered SFRs in response to structural housing shortages and rising renter demand. Following the Great Financial Crisis, they absorbed distressed inventory, invested in renovations, and professionalized operations. More recently, institutional capital has supported build-to-rent housing, adding new supply rather than competing directly with individual homebuyers. Despite political narratives, institutional owners represent a relatively small share of total single-family homes nationally.

What the 2026 Action Does—and Doesn’t Do

The executive order does not ban corporate ownership of SFRs. Instead, it signals policy direction by limiting federally supported financing for large institutional acquisitions, prioritizing owner-occupants in certain transac-

tions, and calling for further regulatory and legislative action. Key definitions— such as what constitutes an “institutional” buyer—remain unresolved, creating uncertainty for smaller, professional housing providers.

Potential Market Impacts

Restricting institutional participation could reduce rental supply, increase rents, and shift pressure onto multifamily housing. While apartment owners may initially benefit from reduced SFR competition, reduced overall supply historically leads to broader regulatory scrutiny across all rental sectors.

Final Thoughts

Housing affordability is a legitimate concern but limiting who can own housing without materially increasing supply risks worsening the problem it seeks to solve. Rental housing providers play a critical role in meeting demand, and policies aimed at one segment often set precedents for others. The question policymakers must answer is whether these efforts meaningfully improve affordability—or simply restrict participation in housing markets.

of the building. Did they lose a parking space in the process?

Some companies may present you with a certificate of worker’s compensation, but it’s important to check their status with the California Contractors State Licensing Board. Go to www.cslb. ca.gov, click on “check a contractor license,” search for the business name, click on the appropriate license number, then scroll down to the section dealing with workers’ compensation. Click on “workers’ compensation history.”

If the posting states “exempt,” click on the word for an explanation. Typically, this means that the company owner lists himself as the sole employee, and that no workers are insured under worker’s compensation. Without workers’ compensation, apartment owners may also find themselves on the hook for:

• Liabilities associated with death or injuries of subcontractors or workers hired under the table.

• Financial liens filed against your property in the event that the general contractor does not pay his subcontractors or laborers.

Finally, as a part of your written contract, make sure you are named as additionally insured and have your insurance agent and/or legal representative review the additional insured endorsement before signing the contract.

Apartment Needs, Wants, A Toxic Dilemma and Fairy Tales: Welcome to California

The apartment market is changing again. Due to the economics of the times, the desires of the younger generations, affordability, costs and lifestyles, the needs and wants of the apartment market are changing. Needs are things that are essential for human survival.

These things include water, shelter (a place to live), and food. Wants, on the other hand, are things that people would like to have, but do not need, such as a new car or SUV, a new phone, a new computer, a large apartment with lots of amenities, and other things that would be nice, but not essential to survival. The economics of needs and wants are changing as consumers do not have enough money to have both and are how having to decide which is more important to them.

Renting vs. Buying a Home: Needs vs. Wants

The short-term economics used to be close between renting and buying a home, with the biggest benefit to home ownership being the appreciation over the long term of the purchased home. Owning a home is a want. With the median cost of a home in California being over $900,000, this is a want that less than 20% of people can afford to buy and maintain. The monthly cost with mortgage interest rates over 6% , real estate taxes, which average 1.2% of the purchase price, property insurance costs, which have more than doubled, maintenance costs increasing for both

labor and materials, new government regulations and mandates for energy efficiency, which automatically make the costs rise almost 25%, have increased the barrier of entry of homeownership exponentially.

Because of these debilitating costs, we are now seeing mortgage terms of 40 or even 50 years hit the market to try to lower the monthly payments for buyers. In the automotive market, we are even seeing car loans that are now reaching 100 months (8 years and 4 months) for non-luxury brands such as Toyota, Honda, Ford and others, just to make the monthly payments of these vehicles more affordable. For perspective, the average cost of a new vehicle has risen to nearly $40,000 and the average monthly payment for a new vehicle has surpassed $750.00 per month at loan terms extending past the previously acceptable 60 months (5 years). These long-term auto loans are very likely to outlast the vehicle that they have been used to purchase.

The rising costs of needs, in this case, shelter, and wants, in this case, a new vehicle, are clearly rising with no foreseeable end in sight. The downpayments required to purchase a home have increased so much that they are, at times, more than what “wanters”, people who planned to be homeowners, but are renters by necessity, not desire, can realistically afford. This inability to afford to purchase a home has increased the demand for newer, class A apartments. The demand for older units is

BY JOSEPH DECARLO, MBA, CPM, CCIM

generally not affected because the market for older units are driven by lower income tenants who rent based on needs instead of wants.

Renting an Apartment: Needs vs. Wants

With almost 85% of Californians shut out economically from buying a home, they must live in a rental home or an apartment. In California, the median household income is $100,000. In Orange County, the median household income increases to about $115,000. The 30% rule for rentals states that rent should not exceed 30% of a household’s monthly income.

The median rent in California is about $2,500 a month. In Orange County, the median rent rises to about $2,875 a month. These median rents are representative of class B and sometimes even higher end class C apartment units. Class A apartment units, which are about 28% of the rental units in California, are even more expensive. These rising rental costs are forcing renters to consider forgoing amenities such as a gym, a pool, laminate flooring, central HVAC, and other benefits, wants, in exchange for more affordable, lower priced units, needs.

What is even more troubling is that smaller properties, properties that are between 4 units to 50 units, are not feasible to build in California because of the high costs of labor, materials and government regulations. This means

FTC Begins Rental Fee Transparency Rulemaking

BY EMILY HOWARD

Key takeaways and next steps from the agency’s announcement.

The Big Picture

On January 30, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that the agency will pursue an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning “fees in the rental housing market.” As required in the federal rulemaking process, the agency submitted its draft rule to the Executive Office of the President for approval. The Commission voted 2–0 to refer the ANPRM to the presidential Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Per Executive Orders 12866 and 14215, the FTC submitted the proposed rule for review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the OMB because it is expected as a “significant regulatory action.” OIRA will also ensure alignment with President Trump’s priorities.

Public information about the proposed rule is limited at this time. However, two settlements the FTC made in September 2024 and, more recently in December 2025, could indicate the direction of the agency’s rulemaking. In the FTC’s announcement, Chairman Andrew Ferguson also issued the following statement on the ANPRM which may be instructive:

“For too long, Americans have been unjustly squeezed of their hard-earned pay by hidden fees and other unfair or deceptive business practices in housing rental markets. The American consumer deserves honesty and transparency in housing rental agreements. To that end, we will be soliciting public comment on the need for a new rule to prevent the imposition of deceptive or unfair fees on renters seeking long-term housing options. Congress has empowered the FTC

to promulgate rules that aid in enforcing our nation’s laws against unfair or deceptive trade practices and a new rule may enhance our capacity to bring enforcement actions against violators of those laws. The President has prioritized reducing cost of living and affordability in the housing market; the TrumpVance FTC is delivering on both.”

What’s Next

After the proposed rule is approved by OIRA, the ANPRM will be published in the Federal Register and the agency will seek public input. National Apartment Association (NAA) members can count on NAA to voice the rental housing industry’s perspective on price transparency throughout the federal rulemaking process. NAA affili-

ate partners should also be on the lookout for opportunities to amplify the industry’s message.

Transparency is fundamental to every aspect of a housing provider’s business model. Housing providers communicate expected rental housing costs to applicants and residents throughout the leasing process and detail these costs in lease documents for renters to reference at any time. Housing providers use fees to facilitate essential business practices and to provide residents with conciergetype services or benefits throughout the lifecycle of their residency. Yet housing providers require flexibility to develop their own policies and practices that best suit their own business structure and the unique needs of the residents they serve.

that the supply of low cost rental units effectively stays the same, with the demand constantly increasing. Even if older or lower tier apartments were demolished, they would be rebuilt into class A units. The rent on those new units would have to be very high for the investor to make a reasonable return.

These high rents will then make the new units unattainable or rent burdened for lower or fixed income tenants. The line between needs, basic housing, and wants, higher end units with amenities, are starting to cross because of the rising rental costs of lower tier units.

To fulfill the basic housing needs, we are now encountering roommates for smaller units such as studios or one-bedroom units, and we are also encountering multiple families renting two-bedroom units and living together. These are things that people do not “want” to do, but they “need” to do to survive.

A Toxic Housing Dilemma:

California’s statewide rent control ordinance, AB1482, caps rent increases to 5% + the change in the CPI, once per year. The maximum a landlord can raise the rent has averaged to about 8% a year for the past few years. There are cities such as Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and Santa Monica that have even stricter rent increase guidelines. In these stricter markets, it is impossible for landlords to get higher rents unless existing tenants vacate.

Most of the units in these markets are also class B or class C, which generally cater to lower income tenants. The rising costs that landlords must pay to operate their buildings paired with the lower income tenants being unable to afford the rising cost of rent has created a toxic housing environment where we have more people renting units out of need and are unable to graduate into purchasing or renting a unit or home that they want.

We are also seeing landlords being driven out of the rental market due to the constant barrage of new laws and regulations such as SB-721, the balcony and deck inspection and repair requirement that forces landlords to get their balconies and decks inspected once every few years and make any repairs noted by the inspector. As of January 1, 2026, landlords in California are now also required to provide refrigerators to their tenants for the unit to be considered habitable. These regulations also drive up the landlord’s cost of operating a property and ultimately get passed to the tenant in the form of higher rent.

Some landlords cannot financially withstand the assault being levied on them by the state and eventually decide to just get out of the business altogether and sell their properties to another party. This new property owner is then faced with the same problem but now has higher property taxes to consider. Now, the new owner must raise the rent even more to break even in their investment. It is a vicious circle that both landlords and renters are caught in.

Affordable Housing: A Fairy Tale

Affordable housing in California is like Santa Claus, a fairy tale. In this case, the politicians still believe in him. The politicians of this state need to “grow up” and start enacting real policies such as federal and state subsidized housing for rent burdened tenants, tenants who pay more than 30% of their income to rent. Programs such as Section 8 already subsidize 70% of the rent. This should be reduced to 30% so that more of the money can be spread to more people as wait times for programs such as these can be more than 10 years.

Unless the politicians grow up and enact real, beneficial and impactful legislation, instead of passing fairy tale laws such as statewide rent control, landlords will be unable to properly operate their buildings and tenants never be able to afford renting or buying what they want. Apartment
