Hardcopy book is excellent and a must especially for people with only one or two properties. I would expect that most professional landlords would know most of the information.

This book and CD was well worth every penny. It gives examples and explains things in simple to understand language. Legal language is explained in parenthesis after each instance of it. It also tells you the pros and cons to certain things you may want to consider and even gives their expert opinion from time to time. It also mentions the laws of some of the bigger municipalites such as San Francisco and Los Angeles as they have laws, such as rent control, that most other portions of the state do not have.
The CD is great because I did not have to pay on-line to download and print legal forms. Also, I was able to have any given form on my screen and add or omit any words that I liked while keeping the basic gist of it.
This book has proved very valuable to me, even one month after my renters moved in as they told us they are getting a dog, so we were able to print up a basic ammendment to the lease from the CD, add specifics to the document that they are to follow (based on our wishes), include an increased deposit amount that we determined, and so on.
I highly recommend this book and CD. Mine is the 11th edition (2005). I doubt much has changed since then and it proved to be more than adequate for my needs.

This book is not only complete, but it is written in a very comprehensive manner. It’s thorough, easy to understand, and covers the gamut of any questions any new landlord (like myself) may have.

This is our bible for all our rentals. The disc has all the forms you’ll need, backed up by the part of the law that applies. If you have rentals in California, this should be your guide to staying out of trouble.

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.
