Santa Ana Becomes First Orange County City with Rent Control

On October 21, 2021, after a decade-long push from the Santa Ana community to find a solution for housing affordability, Rent Control has officially been implemented into law in the city of Santa Ana. Known as the “Just Cause Eviction and Rent Stabilization Ordinances,” the new rent control law became effective on November 19, 2021. While other jurisdictions in California like Inglewood, Los Angeles County, and Culver City have already passed similar tenant protection ordinances, Santa Ana is the first city in Orange County to implement just cause eviction measures and rent control. The general consensus is that neighboring cities may see similar laws passed in the next couple of years.

Should you Require Your Tenants to Have Renters Insurance?

Unfortunately, not enough landlords require it. Additionally, while it’s smart for tenants to purchase renters’ insurance to cover their personal belonging, many renters still don’t understand the necessity. Notably, the average renter underestimates the value of their personal property, and they don’t realize the true cost involved should their property be damaged in a building fire or other types of disasters.
