When I was a kid, bad kids were sent to reform schools. My older sister was sent to one when she was 11. She got married at 17, the happiest day in my Dads life.

So did it reform her?
Iâve heard they also get sent to boot camp.
She had a rotten short life. Some people are doomed. She had all the advantages of me and my younger sister but was too obstinate to appreciate them.

Is a SFH with ADU exempt from AB 1482 like SFH without ADU? The exact language is âResidential real property that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unitâ. My interpretation is that building an ADU means you no longer qualify for the exemption.
As long as the owner lives in one of the two units, it is exempt, like an owneroccupied duplex.
In many jurisdictions, in order to get an ADU permitted, it is a requirement that the owner lives either in the main house or in the ADU. Although, this requirement may go away with the housing shortage.

ADUs are a bad idea. The government says they want them, but make it impossible and unaffordable to build and operate them. âWe are from the government and we are here to help youâ

Their affect on parking alone in suburban neighborhoods should be grounds enough to limit their development and use. It is completely the opposite of the parking/street regs that cities have been using for years. It makes no sense that theyâd go along with ADU development.
You can easily identify the SFH rentals in any suburban neighborhood by the 12 cars in front. Two in the driveway and ten out on the street all around the house. Oh, and the garage is probably being used as an illegal living unit which is why the door is never opened.

With AB1482, does Single Family houses exempt from it? I was trying to read and the only thing I found is owner-occupied with ADU or renting by room. I donât see any exemption for SFH rental.

I think SFH rental is exempt, but you need a special clause in your contract to tell tenants the house is exempt from rent control.
This is the bill I am reading. I donât find it exempt for SFH which give me some quick heart attack.

I see the special clause that I need to include in the new leases as well as getting tenant signed before Aug 2020. Also looks like one way to prevent is to signed a fixed term lease (no 1 yr lease and auto converting to month-to-month) and sign another lease again after 1 year so tenancy is renewed every yr. I am fine with 5% plus inflation raise, I just donât like just-cause, I want that flexibility darn it!
Okay, I guess this is the statement that exempt SFH unless it is owned by REIT or LLC/Corp.
(5) Residential real property that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit, provided that both of the following apply:
(A) The owner is not any of the following:
(i) A real estate investment trust, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(ii) A corporation.
(iii) A limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation.
(B) (i) The tenants have been provided written notice that the residential real property is exempt from this section using the following statement:
