If you’re a landlord in Sacramento, staying compliant isn’t optional — and the rules have changed significantly in recent years. Between California’s Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) and local Sacramento ordinances, many rental property owners make costly mistakes without even realizing it.
In this video, we break down the 10 most common compliance mistakes Sacramento landlords make — and how to avoid them. This guidance applies primarily to properties subject to AB 1482 and local regulations such as Sacramento’s Tenant Protection Program (TPP) and Rental Housing Inspection Program (RHIP).
Topics covered include:
• California rent caps under AB 1482
• Just cause eviction requirements
• Relocation assistance rules
• Security deposit limits and the 21-day deadline
• Habitability requirements — including refrigerator and stove obligations
• Section 8 and source-of-income protections
• 24-hour entry notice rules
• Assistance animal compliance
• Anti-retaliation laws
• Required state disclosures
• Sacramento local inspection and enforcement programs
Most landlord violations aren’t intentional. They happen because the legal landscape is complex and constantly evolving. Understanding these rules can help you avoid penalties, tenant disputes, and unnecessary liability.
