Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about our services, pricing, or markets? Find answers here or schedule a free consultation.

How long does an eviction take in San Diego?

Typically 30–60 days if uncontested. California’s unlawful detainer process is strict, and any notice defect can delay the case.

Does AB 1482 apply to my rental property?

Most multi-family properties older than 15 years are covered. Single-family homes may be exempt if properly noticed. We review exemption status carefully.

Can I terminate a tenant without cause in San Diego?

In many cases, no. Just cause is required under state law unless your property qualifies for exemption.

How much can I raise rent in California?

Annual increases are capped at 5% + CPI (up to 10% maximum) for covered units.

What are the security deposit rules?

Deposits must be returned within 21 days with itemized deductions. Bad-faith retention exposes landlords to penalties.

What should I bring to my consultation with a real estate attorney?

Bring all relevant documents including contracts, deeds, HOA correspondence, lease agreements, notices, photographs, and any written communications related to your issue. A timeline of events is also helpful. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your case during the consultation.
