Landlord Tech Watch – What Is Landlord Tech?

That's not correct. It is illegal to discriminate in CA against renters, based on the type of income. Section 8 in CA is not considered part of the renter's income. Section 8 does not guarantee that the rent will get paid in full and on time every month. There is a determination of rental percentage that is made initially and when the renter's income changes. Section 8 may actually pay up to 4 months late, but once it starts it pays very regularly.

SB 329 specifically redefined "source of income" to include section 8 and other assistance paid directly to the landlord.

Don't believe my interpretation? Ask the landlords' trade association.

Thanks! It's been a couple of years since I've rented-out property in that neck of the woods.

Looking at the text:

  (2) “Discrimination” does not include either of the following:
    (A) Refusal to rent or lease a portion of an owner-occupied single-family house to a person as a roomer or boarder living within the household, provided that no more than one roomer or boarder is to live within the household, and the owner complies with subdivision (c) of Section 12955, which prohibits discriminatory notices, statements, and advertisements.
    (B) Where the sharing of living areas in a single dwelling unit is involved, the use of words stating or tending to imply that the housing being advertised is available only to persons of one sex.
