Excellent Information.......2007-10-10
This is an excellent book with loads of information and handy tips. I'm not the landlord but I am the manager. This book sure helps me complete my obligations without calling the owner for advice etc. Also, the forms are handy and easy to download and use. I highly recommend this publication.
not a panacea.......2007-09-06
The book is not accurate in some circumstances. We had to consult an attorney for the correct info concerning a tenant who paid one year in advance and then broke the lease. The book does not cover this. The tenant went to a web site and started a series of actions designed to force us into a position where he could sue us. Also our attorney said the book was outdated as the new leases are different.
Outstanding!!!.......2007-07-12
I purchased this book along with a couple of other books by Nolo when I found out my county court house Law Library uses it. These books really spell things out in layman's terms. I took my tenants to court and won! I will definitely keep buying these books!
It's the Landlord's Bible!.......2007-06-18
This book saved me! A realtor friend turned me on to it and I can't thank her enough!
Indispensible! .......2007-05-30
I had the 10th edition and facing evicting a problem tenant. What a headache since California forms had changed a fair bit. Updating to the 12th ed. changed everything in regards to filling out forms and knowing that I crossed every t and dotted every i totally correctly since it walks you through the most current forms numbered item by numbered item. Now, when I get done with these forms I actually think that they're beautiful (now that's a bit weird I think). It really has put so much power back into my hands, vs. being a victim of the CA bureaucracy!
Book Description

Step by step and in plain English, this book explains the different legal grounds for eviction and provides all the forms and instructions necessary to:

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.

Poorly Written.......2006-03-06
The book is poorly written, which makes it difficult to read and understand. There are very few examples. The end of each chapter has a 10 question quiz, but there are no answers included. The practices they teach in the Prospecting section are questionable.
What You Need to Get Started!.......2005-10-02
This is an excellent book that covers all the basics of getting started in real estate. It goes into the systems you need to be successful, such as developing your listing presentation, servicing your listings, and advertising. Everything is here. I recommend this book highly!! (It also helped me pass the CA broker exam.)
Helped me pass the broker's exam........2004-10-26
This is an excellent introduction to the basics of California real estate practice. I passed the broker's exam on the first try with the help of this book, even though I had no experience as a real estate salesperson and I did not take a test-preparation course.

Excellent Prep Book.......2007-06-28
I bought this book and it was the only book I used to prep for my real estate broker's exam. I took the exam on June 20, 2007 and passed (it was my first try).
There are 15 chapters in this book and at the end of each chapter, there is a practice quiz you can take to test your knowledge on what the chapter just covered. Each quiz contains anywhere from 45-150 questions, but most quizes have over 100 questions. The book also contains 3 practice exams (150 questions each) at the very end to test you on all the topics covered in the book.
I went through all the M/C questions in this book twice (3 times for the more difficult chapters). The night before my exam, I actually had a last-minute panic that the practice questions in the book would be different from the actual exam. I shouldn't have worried. The questions turned out to be very representative of the actual exam. I didn't see more than 2 or 3 questions in the exam that dealt with a topic or situation that I didn't come across in the book. In fact, on many questions, I actually knew what the answer should be before I even finished reading the question since I had already answered many similar questions in the prep book!
I am not affiliated with the author in any way. In fact, this is my first book review, ever. I felt compelled to write this review and share my experience with others as I recall how anxious I was about the quality of this book when I purchased it.

Highly Recommended.......2007-02-07
This is an excellent prep for the sales exam. I did all 9 practice exams and was able to pass the sales exam the first try. The types of questions and range of topics covered in this prep exam are very similar to the real exam. However, the degree of difficulty in the prep exam is more than the real exam, which I appreciated very much. The only thing I didn't like about this CD is that the software does not allow printing of the correct answers along with the questions I got wrong. Also, there is no way to save what you had done and come back another day to finish the exam.
A helpful study guide, but could be improved.......2004-11-11
This CD-ROM contains 1 pretest and 9 practice exams for a total of 1,425 questions. I am currently studing for the real estate exam and this is most definately a useful tool. However, there are a few annoying factors that should have been addressed before releasing, especially at its price. First of all, there are numerous spelling, grammatical, and spacing errors. Next, once you open the program there is no way to minimize the screen. The practice exams are 150 time-consuming questions each, so if you are an hour into it and want to check your email you have to scrap the whole thing. Lastly, the 1 pretest allows you to answer a question and immediately see the correct answer. I like that. The other 9 exams don't allow you to see the right or wrong answers until the test is complete. It's a pain to roll back through the test again. I want to see the answers right away so I can burn them into my brain. Also, at the end of each test there is an option to print all wrong answers, but the questions and the right answers come out on different sheets. I quickly grew tired of matching them up, it was a waste of time. The questions that were answered incorrectly should print out with the right answer marked. If you can live with this products' problems, it is worthwhile.

PASS THE DRE USING THIS DISK.......2006-08-29
I did not have the time or inclination to pay for one of those cram courses. I used this disk at home on my computer and I credit that use to my passing the exam easily. I took the required Real Estate Principles course and then I used the disk -- all ten tests and started on it again -- got through another four tests before the exam. This will prepare you.
I beg to differ ..........2004-07-17
I purchased this CD along with other exam preparation materials. I found it a very helpful addition to my study plan. The exam questions were very similar to the actual exam (which I took and passed). The truth is, there is a limited universe of questions the California Department of Real Estate uses on the broker exams. These questions were a bit more challenging than the actual exams, and a bit more in-depth than the other review material I purchased. You won't pass the test JUST using this, but it's worth the investment!
Go online before wasting money.......2003-05-16
This CD is [bad]. It contains 5 exams, totaling about 1000 questions. At first glance, that looks pretty good. However, the testing interface is very cludgy and hard to use, and the tests are not randomized. In other words, every time you take an exam, you get the same questions in exactly the same order! What's the point in making a CD-based training if you're not at least going to randomly generate the exam from the 1000 or so questions you have on the CD?
Instead, the author basically took 5 paper exams, stuck them on a CD, and charged [money] for it! Save your money. There are much better broker prep materials available online, in most cases for free. If you're really convinced that you want this author's "CD", email me and I will sell you mine for 1/2 price.
