How to Implement the Latest CAA Forms in Your Rental Property Management
Start the year off right with updated rental forms and instructions from the California Apartment Association. Professional housing managers can gain peace of mind knowing their paperwork is up to date for 2023!
CAA keeps up with the ever-evolving rental housing industry by publishing a comprehensive annual supplement to their signature Managing Rental Housing book. Their experienced staff also develop and maintain forms tailored to fit new laws, member inquiries, as well as questions arising from CAA's renowned Landlord Helpline.
CAA has taken steps to ensure all its rental/lease agreement addenda are compliant with the latest laws. To streamline these forms, CAA removed their repetitive top blocks and made them more succinct without compromising on quality or accuracy. The new and revised forms can be found via CAA’s Rental Forms Page, where detailed information about significant changes is also available in the 2023 Forms Change Chart for reference.
We've recently undergone major revisions and implemented fresh new forms, making it easier for everyone to keep up with current regulations.
Newly updated rental/lease agreement addenda (CA-060 to 097, BAAQ-001, F-001 and SC-001) now make the process simpler:
forms have been streamlined by removing unnecessary details such as names of residents & landlords or property information.
Forms CA-040, 041, 042 and CA-043:
Revised forms reliably define the obligations of landlords and tenants alike, ensuring clarity for all parties when it comes to rental/lease agreements. Now a "person authorized to manage" can be an entity as well as timely payments such as damages are expected within five days from residents under these updated regulations.
Forms CA-241 and 242: Notices of Expiration of Lease and Renewal (Updated):
Landlords now have a new opportunity to consider delayed rent increases as an option. Take advantage of the revised policy and explore how it may affect your rental property!
Forms CA-273 and 276: Payment Plan Agreements (Updated/New):
To ensure the well-being of our residents, we have revised Payment Plan Agreement (Form CA-273) to only apply when there is an outstanding rental balance. Additionally, a new form – Payment Plan Agreement (CA-276) - was created for situations in which non-rental charges remain unpaid. With this distinct division between rent and other expenses comes specific guidelines on how payments should be applied depending on what's owed.
CAA has released its latest Managing Rental Housing Supplement, a comprehensive collection of the most up-to-date laws and regulations for 2022 - 2023. Stay ahead of the curve with this indispensable resource in tandem with CAA's 10th Edition: Managing Rentals Housing to maximize compliance and minimize risk.
