    Eviction Moratoriums & Rental Law in 2025

    Eviction Moratoriums & Rental Law in 2026

    Rental laws continue to evolve each year, especially in high-demand markets like Southern California. For investors and landlords, staying compliant is essential to protecting both your property and your income. The Improta Team breaks down current eviction rules, tenant rights, and new city and state ordinances so property owners can navigate 2026 confidently and responsibly.

    In recent years, adjustments to eviction moratoriums, notice requirements, and tenant protections have created a more regulated rental landscape. While emergency pandemic-era moratoriums have largely expired, many cities and counties have adopted long-term protections—such as extended notice periods, limits on certain types of evictions, and stricter habitability requirements. Understanding these updates is key to avoiding legal issues or delays.

    Landlords also need to stay informed about rent increase caps, inspection mandates, and rules around security deposits, as these regulations continue to shift. Even small missteps—like improper notice timelines or incomplete documentation—can complicate an eviction case or expose owners to penalties.

    By helping clients interpret new laws and connecting them with trusted real estate attorneys and property managers, The Improta Team ensures landlords remain compliant and prepared. With the right guidance, rental property owners can protect their investments while maintaining positive, legally sound relationships with their tenants in 2026 and beyond.
