Anti-Discrimination of Tenants’ Immigration Status
This is one of the many new laws enacted that may affect landlords, tenants and REALTORS® of California.
Beginning January 1, 2008, a landlord or landlord’s agent cannot inquire into the immigration or citizenship status of an existing or prospective tenant or occupant. A landlord may, however, request information or documentation necessary to determine or verify the financial qualifications of a prospective tenant, or to identify a prospective tenant or occupant. This law also prohibits any city or county from requiring a landlord or landlord’s agent of residential rental property to inquire into, or take any action based upon, the immigration or citizenship status of an existing or prospective tenant or occupant. (Source: Assembly Bill 976.)
