California Landlord Compliance
California rental law changes nearly every year. You shouldn't have to track it alone.
Compliance isn't optional, and it isn't static
Rent caps recalculate annually. Security deposit rules changed in 2024. Local ordinances like Pomona's can expire and renew with different terms. An owner managing a property solo is making decisions against a legal backdrop that's genuinely moving — often without realizing it's moved.
Sun Stone Property Management provides property-management and compliance support, not legal advice. Matters requiring legal representation or interpretation are referred to qualified counsel.

California compliance
This page is the short version — our full Owner Resources page covers AB 1482 (split by county, since Pomona, Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas and Walnut fall under a different CPI region than Upland, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino and Montclair), the Pomona Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and AB 12 security deposit rules in detail, reviewed quarterly.
California Landlord Compliance FAQ
Do you handle Section 8 / voucher compliance?
Yes — California Fair Housing law protects source of income, including qualifying housing assistance, and we apply lawful, consistent screening and leasing practices.
What if a law changes in the middle of a lease?
We review active leases against current law and flag anything that needs to change, rather than waiting for renewal.
Where can I see what you're currently tracking?
Our Owner Resources page is the public version of what we monitor — it's reviewed on a quarterly schedule, with the next review date listed right on the page.
