Landlord's Rights & Duties in California

Small time and first time landlords should absolutely all have this book! It has given me confidence and saved me many times. It's written in clear terms so you don't have to be a lawyer, real estate professional or other expert. The book explains plainly, in detail, each step, from finding the best tenant for your property to terminating those tenants that disappoint.

Landlords' Rights & Duties in California was an excellent beginners guide to being a landlord. It includes samples of easy to use forms that cover all the basics as well as recommendations of when and when not to get a lawyer involved. I found the reference section that included applicable California Civil Code helpful as well. A quick read but loaded with useful tools, Landlord's Rights & Duties in California is what every beginning landlord needs in their library.
