Californias AB 1482 statewide rent and just-cause law requires Stockton landlords to give tenants a written disclosure about their coverage status. Failure to provide the disclosure can affect a landlords ability to use no-fault eviction grounds.
AB 1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, applies to most Stockton rental units that are more than 15 years old and not exempt as single-family homes owned by individuals or duplexes where the owner lives on-site. Covered landlords must give tenants a written disclosure stating either that the unit is subject to AB 1482 rent caps and just-cause protections, or that it qualifies for an exemption under specific statutory categories. Landlords must include the disclosure in new leases and provide it to existing tenants. Improper or missing disclosures can undermine attempts to invoke certain eviction grounds later.
A missing or inaccurate AB 1482 disclosure can make it harder for a Stockton landlord to enforce rent increases or to use no-fault eviction grounds, and may give tenants strong defenses in court.
