2022 New Legal Disclosure CA Residential Landlords

New Legal Disclosure Required in 2022 for all CA Residential Landlords 

Did you know that beginning on January 1, 2022 all California residential landlords must provide a disclosure statement booklet to all prospective tenants? 


Although this legislature was originally passed in 2001, the Department of Public Health has newly adopted this regulation. This booklet is called “Information of Dampness and Mold for Renters in California,” listed below are the main points addressed in the disclosure statement. 


  • Living in damp or moldy buildings increases the chances of respiratory problems like asthma.
  • The critical warning signs are visible mold, water damage, damp materials, or mold smell.
  • Dampness is needed for mold to grow, so if you control the dampness, you control the mold.
  • Dampness or mold indoors may make housing substandard, per the California Health & Safety Code.


At C&C Property Management, along with providing to each prospective tenant, we further recommend working to incorporate the Mold Disclosure into the lease contract. You can be put at risk for full responsibility of damages incurred and even the tenant’s health, if it is not provided and moisture issues do arise. 


We will be providing this disclosure statement to all new tenants along with the lead based paint disclosure when applicable.

Best Ways to Communicate With Tenants: Email, Text, or Call

By Kyle Chernetsky • June 3, 2026
Key Takeaways Effective communication is essential for managing properties, helping prevent misunderstandings, resolve issues quickly, and build positive tenant relationships. Email is best for documentation and detailed information, but it may not be effective for urgent matters due to slower response times. Text messaging provides fast, convenient communication for reminders and updates, though it can lack formality and be difficult to track over time. Phone calls are ideal for emergencies and sensitive conversations, offering immediate clarification, but they require follow-up documentation to maintain records.
