Q: AS A LANDLORD OF 2 DUPLEXES AND WE LIVE IN ONE--- ARE WE EXEMPT FROM AB1482 CIVIL CODE FOR CALIFORNIA?
SOME WEBSITES SAY THAT WE ARE, SOME SAY THAT WE ARE NOT.
A: Visit a local real estate attorney. Pay his or her consultation fee and obtain the information you seek. [I litigate cases.

A:
AB1482, also known as the Tenant Protection Act, applies to landlords who own properties that meet certain criteria. If you are a landlord of 2 duplexes and reside in one of them, you may be exempt from AB1482 under the "Owner-Occupied" exemption. However, to determine eligibility for the exemption, you must meet specific requirements, including living in one of the units as your primary residence. It is important to consult with a California attorney to ensure you fully understand the exemptions and comply with all applicable laws.
