New 2026 LA Rental Laws – Big Changes Every Landlord Must Know AB628 Right to Counsel + RSO Updates

Big changes are coming for Los Angeles landlords — and you need to be ready.

In this video, Derrick Ruiz, Los Angeles Real Estate Broker and landlord advocate, breaks down the new 2026 rental laws that will affect every California landlord, including:

✅ AB 628 (Effective Jan 1, 2026): Landlords must provide a working stove and refrigerator for all new or renewed rental agreements.
✅ Right to Counsel Form (Los Angeles Only): A new required notice that must be posted on-site and attached to all termination notices — or your eviction could be thrown out.
✅ RSO Security Deposit Interest: Why paying annual interest on security deposits is mandatory and how failing to do so can block an eviction.

These updates are serious — failure to comply can cost you thousands in legal fees or even your right to evict.

If you’re a Los Angeles landlord, property owner, or investor, this video will help you stay compliant and protect your rental income.
