2021 RED ALERTS!
Contact Your Reps to Oppose ACA 7
Thank you for your participation in Legislative Day and your ongoing support! We must continue the momentum and voice our opposition to ACA 7 (Muratsuchi). ACA 7 would exacerbate the housing crisis by enabling restrictive local land use policy that will widen our state's wealth gap and economic and ethnic segregation -- even allowing local governments to impose radical rent control. We need your voice now - please contact your representatives to OPPOSE ACA 7.
(The link above will allow you to send an email to your designated Legislator, explaining the opposition to this bill and they couldn't have made it any easier! Don't hesitate! It only takes minutes to complete. Thanks ahead of time for TAKING ACTION!)
2020 RED ALERTS!
Urge your State Legislators to VOTE NO on AB 828 - Rent Reduction Bill
C.A.R. needed our help to oppose AB 828 (Ting), a bill
that, among other things, effectively forces a 25 percent
reduction in rents. C.A.R. opposed the bill because it is
unconstitutional and provides no financial protection for
mom-and-pop property owners who still must pay their
mortgages and have a legal obligation to repair and maintain
their properties.
Tax Portability FAQ (PDF)
The passage of Proposition 19 will provide much needed housing and tax relief for seniors, wildfire victims and the disabled by allowing them to transfer the taxable value of their primary residenceto the replacement of another home anywhere in the state, regardless of the value of the replacement primary residence.
Your clients are likely to have many questions regarding the implementation of the new law. C.A.R.'s Legal Team has prepared an extensive FAQ to address some of those questions.
(This same information can also be accessed on C.A.R.'s website where you can easily share this information. C.A.R. website link on Prop 19-FAQ)
The success of this initiative passing was a prime example that the REALTOR® party can make a difference!
