Hey there landlords—this week’s episode is packed with everything you need to know about the new 2025 landlord-tenant laws impacting your rental business. Whether you manage one rental or a dozen, staying ahead of legal changes is the best way to protect your property and stay professional.
Kevin and I break down California’s extensive new rules—like the expanded application screening rules, security deposit documentation requirements, and a major update that gives tenants more time before eviction proceedings. We also highlight key changes in Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Texas, including rent control, broker fee bans, and squatter removal laws.
Even if your rentals aren’t located in these states, many of these laws are popping up across the country—and they’re often just good business practice anyway.
So, give this one a listen so you can be ahead of the game and familiar with them when your state decides to take action and enact them.
