Insights for rental property owners in particularly uncertain times .
Up until recently, there has been a relative lull in new legal developments that impact property owners, but we can now point to two monumental forces that stand to upset the apple cart. 

In Oakland, the suspense is over after City Council's late-night wrangling over a proposal to peel back “just cause” eviction protections for owner-occupied duplexes and triplexes – the ballot measure now has a boarding pass to the November election.

We offer our take here, and as an added bonus, share some handy slides from recent workshops we’ve held on Oakland rent control.
On another, larger front, landlords should get beyond the discussion of whether Costa Hawkins repeal will pass.

After the Democratic party has given Proposition 10 its endorsement, forward-thinking owners currently exempted from rent control should have a heart-to-heart discussion on how to prepare for the eventuality of its passage, a delicate subject we touch on in this page. 

As always, you can count on Bornstein Law for proper counsel to manage legal relationships, avoid or resolve conflict, and cauterize risk no matter the climate or decisions of voters down the pike.
