The California Landlord
One Notice Away from the Trap: What to Do to Stay Compliant and Protected, by Ngozi E. Bolin, Esq.
The California Landlord is a compliance guide for rental property owners by attorney Ngozi E. Bolin, Esq., published by Pantraxxa. It focuses on where California landlords actually fail and how to avoid invalid evictions, penalties and lost exemptions.
About the book
California is one of the most complex and unforgiving places in the United States to be a landlord. A single overlooked detail, such as missing disclosure language, wrong notice timing or a local ordinance, can lead to an invalid eviction, permanent rent control restrictions, refunds, penalties and legal fees.
The book’s argument is that the landlords who succeed are the most precise ones, and it sets out the clarity and systems needed to operate that way before problems begin.
A fuller overview of this guide is on the Bolin Firm’s page for the book.
