Attorney to help draft a rental agreement

[Kerresha Musgrove]

Hello, I'm in escrow on duplex ( my first home!) and will be inheriting tenants. I'm reading Brandon Turners book on managing rental properties and it's sooo helpful. However, there are quite a few legal clauses I need to add  that are specific to California. Can anyone recommend a real estate attorney to assist? I reached out to one, and he recommended I use the CAR standard realtor form, but it's not as comprehensive as I would like .

Thanks!

Hi, congrats! I would recommend joining California Apartment Association, https://caanet.org/
As a member you get access to all the forms you will need for a CA landlord...and they are constantly updating the forms to comply with whatever the legal landscape is. I use their lease forms and their forms are more comprehensive than the typical CARS form. It is worth the $100 annual fee!  CAA also keeps you in the loop on upcoming laws, threats, etc.
Best of luck!
