Goes hand-in-hand with the other Nolo title on Landlord Rights and Responsibilities.......2007-06-18
The California Landlord's Law Book: Evictions is a companion book that goes hand in hand with the Nolo title The California Landlord's Law Book: Rights and Responsibilities. In fact, the opening chapters of the Evictions book repeatedly remind the reader to refer to Rights and Responsibilities, not for the purpose of selling more books, but because landlord/tenant law is best addressed with an overarching title, and if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having to evict a tenant, you can pick up the more specialized title on that topic.
I personally purchased the Evictions book when I had a non-paying roommate in my own home who refused to move out. I purchased this book after I had started the eviction process and seen the sheriff way too many times, and I cursed myself for not getting it earlier, because I found out that the law was more on my side that I had thought. Nolo taught me that the sheriff is often misinformed about the process of evicting a roomer (someone in a bedroom in your primary residence) versus that of evicting a tenant in a separate rental property. This book referred me to the relevant sections of the California civil code and penal code for situations with roomers.
The book and accompanying CD have all the California law forms needed for the eviction process, as well as instructions for deciphering the forms, which is a formidable task on one's own. Personally, the most important chapter in the book was the one that guided me though the unlawful detainer trial process. The author described in detail all the facets of a court hearing, the relevant players, the methods for addressing the judge, the order of events, and so on. I went into my trial with confidence because I knew what to expect and I knew how to prepare my case.
This book is well worth the cover price. The most important lesson to remember is that not following the unlawful detainer procedure precisely will lead to delays in resolving the issue (by getting rid of the tenant or getting them current on their rent). This title is one of the only ways, short of hiring legal help, that a lay person can ensure their documentation will be in order and the process will not be delayed any longer than necessary. Every landlord needs to own The California Landlord's Law Book: Rights and Responsibilities, and the moment a tenant is late on rent or troublesome for other reasons, landlords need to buy The California Landlord's Law Book: Evictions.

California Landlord's Law Book is a must!.......2006-08-09
I have been a landlord for 12 years. Every few years I purchase a revised version just to be sure that laws haven't changed that I should know about. This book is a must if you have rentals in California. It is very easy to understand, it has all the forms you may need on CD and can be referred to quickly when questions come up. I feel I am a better landlord because of this book. I have also loaned it to my friends when they felt that their landlord had not be treating them fairly. They also found it very helpful. I wouldn't be without it.
Very useful and practical handbook for Landlords.......2006-07-27
I read through the book before renting my place, and it provided me with very useful tips on the legality of various aspects of renting one's place. It also had templates and forms which were very handy, in drawing up a lease, issuing a receipt or generating a checklist. I would recommend this book for any landlord, whether you are renting out one house or multiple.
Great information for first time California Landlord.......2006-02-23
This was the only book I needed to become a landlord in California. With the included forms on CD, I was able to easily create a lease for my tenants and feel confident that I was doing everything legally. I read the relevant sections of the book and will keep it on hand if any rental problems show up. I am very satisfied with the book selection.
Simply the Best. Very Indispensable for Neophytes and Old.......2005-04-08
If you're in the real estate rental business in the state of California you need this book to start out, survive, and thrive in this business. The NOLO books are written by lawyers for lay people.
The "California Landlord's Law Book: Rights and Responsibilities" covers all ground and gives you more than a legal or business understanding of real estate rental (rare but detrimental scenarios and important topics are discussed, such as Discrimination, Self-Help Evictions, Landlord's Liabilities for Dangerous Conditions and Criminal Acts, etc.)
This law book also contains all the forms you will need, both at the end as apendix and on a CD. The book is very thorough and every new edition stays abreast with the latest rental law changes in California. The only downside (unavoidable) is that every so often NOLO publishes a new edition thus somewhat outdaing previous ones.
Eleventh Edition with a Web Site for Updates.......2005-04-01
I don't know if California has more renters than other places or not, but the laws regarding the renting of property in California are far more numerous, strict, and difficult to understand than those from anywhere else.
This book, written by practicing attorneys who also happen to know how to write in plain and simple English, describes the California laws from the standpoint of the landlord. This includes: leases, rental agreements, managers, credit checks, security deposits, discrimination, invasion of privacy, the landlord's duty to maintain the premises, and much more, things you might not think about if you are just thinking about renting the house you're moving out of.
Some interesting chapters include how to deal with those few tenants who will inevitably try to invent bogus reasons why they were legally entitled to withhold rent, another makes sure that you, your managers and any other employees know and follow antidiscrimination laws and, at least as important, make it clear that you are doing so.
This book is now in its 11th edition. Any book that's been around for eleven editions must have something going for it. And one thing is access to a web site that keeps you up to date with any changes in the law since the book came out.
Finally there's a CD-ROM with the book that includes most (quite likely all) the forms you'll need to be in the rental business.

Customer Reviews:
What should a tenant's notice to terminate tenancy look like?.......2007-09-04
Overall the book is good but there is a huge omission that has to be corrected. While there are sample forms in the book there is no sample notice to terminate tenancy. In fact, there is no information at all about what a tenant's notice to terminate should look like. This is an enormous problem and has to be corrected.
The Landlord's version of this book is much more complete. It includes a CD with PDF files for printing notices, etc. This Tenant's Rights books needs a CD with forms, including notice, to be included.
The book to have if your landlord is a jerk........2002-04-07
If your landlord is a jerk and you want to know what he (or she) can legally do or not do, this book will help. It will also give you some idea of when to go for professional help. It is of less help in figuring out what to do before you have to bring in the lawyers. I found it very helpfull to leave this book on the coffee table when my nosy landlord was snooping around my apartment. Apparently bad landlords don't like it when tenants know their rights.
Yes, Even Tenants Have Rights!.......2001-06-13
Roof leaking? Sure, you can repair the problem and deduct it from your rent, but what if the landlord responds with an eviction notice? There is a lot of bad advice out there. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Know your rights! This book will keep you on the right side of the law.

A Gotta Have Book for Landlords.......2007-08-16
Small time and first time landlords should absolutely all have this book! It has given me confidence and saved me many times. It's written in clear terms so you don't have to be a lawyer, real estate professional or other expert. The book explains plainly, in detail, each step, from finding the best tenant for your property to terminating those tenants that disappoint.
Great for just getting started!.......2000-08-28
Landlords' Rights & Duties in California was an excellent beginners guide to being a landlord. It includes samples of easy to use forms that cover all the basics as well as recommendations of when and when not to get a lawyer involved. I found the reference section that included applicable California Civil Code helpful as well. A quick read but loaded with useful tools, Landlord's Rights & Duties in California is what every beginning landlord needs in their library.

WHAT A RELIEF.......2000-01-15
I have been a paralegal specializing in landlord-tenant relations for a good number of years and I can recommend this author and his book whole-heartedly. Many times I have turned to it's pages. I believe I have quite a few revised versions and will continue to purchase every time he revises. Good work, Leigh, keep it up.

Excellent.......1999-11-30
I bought several landlord's rights books and found that this book was really helpful and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book if you're a landlord in need of legal advice to protect your property.
INDISPENSABLE!.......1997-03-28
This is a major component of my landlord/property manager library. I was not surprised to find, when I purchased this recent updated edition, that it is even better! (I noticed more excerpts of code.) Nolo Press has a deserved reputation for offering excellent legal guides for the lay person

This is book is IT for Cali Landlords.......2004-06-23
Clearly written with good information and correctly sourced. This book is the latest edition so make sure to get it. It was a little annoying that the CAR forms have SAMPLE scrawled across them... and that's just the form i wanted to use... come to find out you can buy it elsewhere for $40. But to their credit they do include sample forms that you can use and scan and copy. Very nice. Totally worth its price.
