Q: IN CALIFORNIA, WOULD AN OWNER OF 2 DUPLEXES, WHO LIVES IN ONE---WOULD THEY BE EXEMPT FROM THE AB 1482 CIVIL CODE?
A:
As a California attorney, in the context of AB 1482, the owner of 2 duplexes who lives in one of the units would generally be exempt from the rent cap and just-cause eviction provisions of the law. AB 1482 typically applies to properties with three or more residential units, and the law provides certain exemptions for single-family homes, condos, and duplexes where the owner resides in one of the units. However, it's essential to review the specific details of the situation to ensure compliance with the law.
Sincerely,
