Effective July 1, 2024, AB 2801 limits most security deposits to one month’s rent—even for furnished units—down from the previous two-month allowance. Small landlords (≤2 properties, ≤4 units total) remain exempt and may still charge up to two months. Landlords must return deposits or itemized deductions within 21 days of move-out. This excerpt from All East Bay Properties covers allowable charges, pet deposit rules, and a free move-out checklist to avoid disputes. Stay ahead of the law and protect your rights.
