If you own a rental in North County San Diego, the rules around it changed materially in the last three years. AB 1482 capped most rent increases. AB 12 capped most security deposits at one month. The Civil Code §1942.5 retaliation window keeps tripping up owners who haven't documented a written rent-review schedule.

The Profit Protection Kit is four tools, in one email, that help you stay ahead of the rules and protect your bottom line.

1. California Landlord Compliance Checklist (PDF). Current law, the most-missed items, organized by frequency: every move-in, every lease renewal, annually, and event-driven.

2. Tenant Screening Red Flags Worksheet (PDF). A 30-minute screen that prevents most bad-tenant outcomes. Walks through credit, income, rental history, and the conversation patterns that predict trouble.

3. North County SD Rental Market Snapshot (PDF). Rent ranges and vacancy by city, current quarter. Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, Escondido, Del Mar, Solana Beach.

4. Annual Rental Property Tax & Expense Tracker (Excel). Schedule E ready. Drop in receipts each month, hand it to your CPA in April.

No phone call required. We email it within 60 seconds.
