California Property and Real Estate Laws

Homeowners, landlords, and renters have specific laws that rule their property or place of residence.

State property and real estate laws often include things like "homestead" protection from creditors. This helps small landowners keep their farm or home in times of economic stress.

It also controls regulations protecting both tenants and landlords. Laws like adverse possession rewards individuals who substantially improve property they do not own.

In California, for example, an individual who is either disabled or over 65 may claim homestead protection on property worth up to $150,000. California also has property and real estate laws that provide incentives for energy-efficient and otherwise environmentally friendly buildings.
