The Levine Act only applies to certain matters brought to the City Council, including permits, licenses, some contracts, and other entitlements for use. While these matters are pending and for 12 months after a decision has been made, a Council Member may not accept, solicit, or direct campaign contributions of more than $500 from parties/participants who have a financial interest in the proceedings, or their respective agents. In addition, a Council Member who has received such a contribution may be required to disclose the contribution and recuse themselves from consideration of an agenda item. This summary of the Levine Act does not constitute legal advice. Council members who need to recuse themselves from an agenda item may provide notice at any time during the Council meeting before consideration of the item. Under certain circumstances, contributions may be returned by the public official in order to participate in a decision or otherwise cure a potential violation.

FINDING THAT THE ACTION IS STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE §21080.17
The proposed urgency ordinance will amend Section 20.400.330 of the Stanton Municipal Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). Except as otherwise noted, these new laws take effect on January 1, 2026. The Council previously held a public hearing for a similar ordinance that introduced the same code amendments to comply with new ADU legislation, however, if adopted, the Ordinance will not become effective until after January 1, 2026. If the City does not have a compliant ordinance in place on January 1, 2026 then its regulations become entirely null and void. The proposed urgency ordinance would become effective immediately after approval so staff is requesting the proposed urgency ordinance.

Tonight, the Council will consider a new opportunity to build on that legacy by supporting a firstof-its-kind model designed to help individuals maintain their sobriety as they work toward housing stability and long-term community connection.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: MAYOR’S APPOINTMENTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS AS

REPRESENTATIVES TO VARIOUS BOARDS, COMMISSIONS,

COMMITTEES AND AGENCIES
REPORT IN BRIEF:

Traditionally, Council Members have been appointed by the Mayor to serve on numerous outside committees, boards, commissions and agencies. Each appointee is responsible for representing the City and voting on behalf of the City Council. The Mayor conducts a review and selects appointees, as detailed in Attachment A, with the exception of the Orange County Fire Authority (“OCFA”) appointment, which is required to be made by City Council Resolution, the Mayor may otherwise make appointments to each committee, board, commission or agency by nomination and Minute Order confirmation. In addition, the Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”) regulations require the adoption and posting of Form 806, Agency Report of Public Official Appointments, in order for individual Council Members to participate in a City Council vote that would result in him or her serving in a position that provides compensation of $250 or more in any 12-month period.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. City Council confirm the Mayor’s appointments; and

3. Approve Fair Political Practices Commission Form 806 and authorize the City Clerk to post the form on the City’s website.

Item: 9D
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:

At the first meeting of the year, the Mayor traditionally reviews the list of Council Members designated on the submitted Mayor’s Appointments list. Historically, at the first meeting of the year, the City Council has confirmed the existing memberships through reappointments or made new appointments, and has also added or deleted board, commission, committee, and agency memberships, as appropriate. Based on changes to the FPPC Regulation 18705.5 (Materiality Standard: Economic Interest in Personal Finances) a public official may participate in a Council vote that would result in him or her serving in a position that provides compensation in the form of stipends, reimbursement or direct payment of $250 or more in any 12-month period. The revised regulation specifies, however, that the body making such an appointment(s) must adopt and post a list of the appointments on its website as required by the FPPC.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The “Mayor’s Appointments of Council Members as Representatives to Various Agencies List” (Attachment A) documents the various committees and boards to which the Mayor proposes to appoint Council Members. In previous years, the Mayor has reviewed the list prior to the first meeting of the new year, and any changes, additions, or deletions to any of the appointments are made by Minute Order.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is minimal fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).

LEGAL REVIEW:

None.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Public notification provided through the regular agenda process. 3 STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 5. Maintain and promote a responsive, high-quality and transparent government.

The City shall provide a tax-qualified governmental defined benefit plan for all full-time miscellaneous class of employees through CalPERS, in accordance with the following provisions:
a. Employees who are CalPERS members are subject to provisions of PERL, as amended by PEPRA. PEPRA imposes requirements and limitations on public employment retirement benefits for public employees, including establishment of a category of employees defined in PEPRA as “new members”. Employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2013, or who otherwise do not fall within the definition of a “new member” under PEPRA, are referred to in this Resolution as a “classic member” under PEPRA. b. Employees hired on or before August 27, 2011, are described as “classic members” (Tier 1). Classic members’ (Tier 1) retirement benefits are based on the two percent at fifty-five (2% at 55) formula. The City shall pay the seven percent (7%) member contribution of their pensionable income to CalPERS as part of the required member retirement contribution. c. Employees hired on or after August 28, 2011, are also described as “classic members” (2nd Tier).

Tier 2 employees shall pay seven percent (7%) of their pensionable income to CalPERS as part of the required member retirement contribution.
d. Employees hired after January 1, 2013, and who are new to CalPERS, or have had more than a six (6) month break in CalPERS service, are subject to all laws, statutes, rules, and regulations of the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA or 3rd Tier). The new member retirement benefit formula is two percent at sixty-two (2% at 62).

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION ON RESIDENTIAL TENANTS’ AND LANDLORDS’

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
REPORT IN BRIEF:

Staff will be presenting a study session on tenants’ and landlords’ rights and responsibilities based upon available State informational resources.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Receive and file research; and

3. Direct staff to create a webpage to provide the City’s residents with links to State resources.

BACKGROUND:

In response to a Council Member-initiated request on August 12, 2025, made by then Mayor Pro Tem Torres, the City Council directed staff to return with a study session on tenants’ and landlords’ rights and responsibilities. Staff relied on the State’s resources to inform their research efforts.

State of California Department of Real Estate
The State of California Department of Real Estate published the 2025 Edition of California Tenants – A Guide to Residential Tenants’ and Landlords’ Rights and Responsibilities, which can be found online at
https://www.dre.ca.gov/publications/ResourceGuidebook/2025_Landlord_Tenant_Guide .pdf in both English and Spanish (Attachment A). The guide was first published by the Item: 11A

2 Department of Consumer Affairs in 1998 and has been updated 12 times over the last 27 years. The 2025 Edition is 155 pages and includes the following major sections:
• Introduction
• New California Laws for 2025
• How to Use This Guide
• Who is a Landlord and Who is a Tenant?
• Looking for a Rental Unit
• Before You Agree to Rent
• When You Have Decided to Rent
• Living in the Rental Unit
• Dealing with Problems
• Moving Out

• Appendix 5 – Legally Required Text of Notices
Although the guide focuses on the most significant aspects of the relationship of landlords and tenants in California, it does acknowledge there are other parts of the landlord-tenant law sphere that may not be covered. In those instances, the guide suggests tenants and landlords may wish to seek additional information from a tenant-landlord program, a housing clinic, a legal aid organization, or an attorney. Although the guide is not considered legal authority, the propositions set forth in the guide are supported by citations to the applicable legal authorities, including statutes, regulations and/or case law.

The guide applies to people whom the law defines as “tenants.” The following special situations are not included in the guide.
• Guest of a hotel or motel
• Guest of a residential hotel
• Single lodger in a private residence
• Participants of transitional housing
• Most landlord-tenant relationships in mobilehome parks and recreational vehicle parks are governed by the Mobilehome Residency Law and the Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law.

The next sections of the staff report will focus on a summary of key sections of the Guide that relate to individuals identified as tenants who have completed the rental application process and are actively in a rental unit.
3 New California Laws for 2025
In 2025, there were several major amendments to landlord and tenant rights in California as the result of legislation passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Newsom in 2024. Notable new changes in 2025 include:
• Unlawful Detainer Actions. Tenants will have ten days, instead of five, to file a response with the court after their landlord serves them an unlawful detainer (aka “eviction”) complaint. AB 2347 (Kaira, Chapter 512, Statutes of 2024).

Case records for limited unlawful detainer actions will be masked for all tenants, including tenants of mobile home parks, until a landlord receives a judgment in their favor within 60 days of filing their case. AB 2304 (Lee, Chapter 711, Statutes of 2024.)
• Application Screening Fees. Landlords may charge a rental application screening fee only if, at the time the fee is collected, the landlord offers an application screening process that meets certain legal requirements. A landlord or their agent is prohibited from collecting an application screening fee if they know or should have known that no rental unit is available at the time or within a reasonable period of time of when the fee is collected. AB 2493 (Pellerin, Chapter 966, Statutes of 2024).
• Security Deposits. Landlords must meet additional requirements before they can deduct from a tenant’s security deposit and are further limited in what repair and cleaning costs they can deduct. Landlord will not be entitled to deduct any amount from a tenant’s security deposit if the landlord in bad faith fails to comply with the legal requirements regarding the return of a tenant’s security deposit. AB 2801 (Friedman, Chapter 280, Statutes of 2024). • Reporting Positive Rental Payment History. Landlords will be obligated to offer their tenants the option of reporting their positive rental payments to at least one nationwide consumer reporting agency. Tenants may opt-into and opt-out of having their landlord report their positive rental payments with some limitations and requirements. AB 2747 (Haney, Chapter 279, Statutes of 2024). • Lock Changes. Certain landlords will be required to change the lock(s) of a tenant’s unit at the tenant’s written request, and at the landlord’s expense, if a tenant or a member of the tenant’s immediate family or household member is the victim of abuse or violence. Landlords are prohibited from taking an adverse action against a prospective or current tenant if they previously requested to have their locks changed due to abuse or violence, broke their lease due to abuse or violence, or previously summoned law enforcement or emergency assistance to the premises as the victim of or on behalf of a victim of abuse or as the result of a crime or in an emergency situation. SB 1051 (Eggman, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2024).
4 • Parking. Tenants will be allowed to refuse to pay for parking in newer “qualifying residential properties.” This will allow residents to avoid the cost of parking when it is bundled with the price of rent. “Qualifying residential properties” do not include residential units leased to tenants who receive federal housing assistance vouchers. AB 2898 (Carillo, Wendy, Chapter 280, Statutes of 2024).
• Termination of Tenancy. Landlords pursuing no-fault case evictions for purposes of occupying the property for themselves or relatives face heightened standards of intent and occupancy of evicted properties. Beginning January 1, 2025, a landlord who is a natural person and who is a beneficial owner of a limited liability company or partnership may also utilize the landlord move-in no-fault eviction process if they have at least a 25% ownership interest in the property. SB 479 (Durazo, Chapter 8, Statutes of 2024).

Tenant’s Basic Legal Rights
Tenants have basic legal rights that are always present, no matter what the rental agreement states. These rights include all of the following:
• Limits on the amount of the security deposit that the landlord can require you to pay.
• As of January 1, 2020, most rental units are covered by the Tenant Protection Act which places a cap on annual rent increases equal to 5% plus inflation, or 10%, whichever is lower, and no more than two rental increases within a 12- month period. Tenants living in cities with rent stabilization programs might have additional rent protections available to them.
• Limits on the landlord’s right to enter the rental unit. • The right to a refund of the security deposit, or a written accounting of how any of it was used by the landlord, after you move out.
• The right to sue the landlord for violations of the law, or your rental agreement. • The right to repair serious defects in the rental unit and to deduct certain repair costs from the rent, under appropriate circumstances, provided the tenant gives the landlord reasonable advance notice.
• The right to withhold rent under appropriate circumstances. • Rights under the warranty of habitability.
• The right to the implied rental agreement covenant of ‘quiet enjoyment’. • Protection against retaliatory eviction.
5 • Most tenants are protected from being evicted without just cause, which means that the landlord must have a valid legal reason for an eviction. • The right to request a reasonable accommodation.
• The right to fair housing rights and protections against unlawful discrimination.

Dealing with Problems – Repairs and Habitability
A rental unit must be habitable. In legal terms, “habitable” means that the rental unit is fit for occupation by human beings and that it substantially complies with state and local building and health codes that materially affect tenants’ health and safety. California law makes landlords and tenants each responsible for certain kinds of repairs, although landlords ultimately are legally responsible for ensuring that their rental units are habitable.

Landlord’s Responsibility for Repairs
A California Supreme Court case, called Green v. Superior Court of San Francisco, held that all residential leases and rental agreements contain an implied warranty of habitability. Under the implied warranty of habitability, the landlord is legally responsible for repairing conditions that seriously affect the rental unit’s habitability. However, the landlord is not responsible under the implied warranty of habitability for repairing damages that were caused by the tenant or the tenant’s family, guests, or pets.

The law is very specific as to what kinds of conditions make a rental unit uninhabitable. If a tenant believes that their landlord is providing an uninhabitable home, it is best to document those conditions with photographs or written repair requests with descriptions and date of the problem and how long that condition has been occurring.

Tenant’s Responsibility for Repairs
Tenants are required by law to take reasonable care of their rental unit as well as common areas such as hallways and outside areas. Tenants must act to keep those areas clean and undamaged. Tenants also are responsible to repair all damage that results from their neglect or abuse and to repair damage caused by anyone for whom they are responsible, such as family, guests, or pets.

Limitations on Landlord’s Duty to Keep the Rental Unit Habitable Even if a rental unit is unlivable because of a habitability condition, a landlord may not be legally required to repair the condition if the tenant has not fulfilled the tenant’s own responsibilities. In addition to generally requiring a tenant to take reasonable care of the rental unit and common areas, the law lists specific things that a tenant must do to keep the rental unit livable. Even if a tenant violates these requirements, in some minor way, the landlord is still responsible for providing them a habitable dwelling and may be 6 prosecuted for violating housing code standards. If a tenant fails to do one of these required things, and their failure has either substantially caused an unlivable condition to occur or has substantially interfered with the landlord’s ability to repair the condition, the landlord does not have to repair the condition and the tenant cannot withhold rent until they cure their own violation.

Having Repairs Made
If a tenant believes that their rental unit needs repairs and the landlord is responsible for the repairs under the implied warranty of habitability, they should notify the landlord in writing and retain a copy for their records. If the damage or repairs require urgent attention, the tenant should notify the landlord orally (i.e., telephone or in person) and memorialize their communication in writing. A landlord, owner or manager may enter the rental unit to make necessary or agreed upon repairs, but in most cases, they must provide the tenant with a written notice of intent to enter. If the landlord does not make the requested repairs and does not have a good reason for not doing so, you may have several remedies, depending on the seriousness of the repairs.

The “Repair and Deduct” Remedy
The “repair and deduct” remedy allows a tenant to deduct money from the rent to pay for repair of defects in the rental unit if the repairs would not cost more than one month’s rent. This remedy covers substandard conditions that affect the tenant’s health and safety and substantially breach the implied warranty of habitability. As a practical matter, the repair and deduct remedy allows a tenant to make needed repairs of serious conditions without filing a lawsuit against the landlord. Because this remedy involves legal technicalities, it is recommended that tenants talk to a lawyer, legal aid organization, or tenants’ association before proceeding.

The “Abandonment” Remedy
A tenant might use the “abandonment” remedy where the defects would cost more than one month’s rent to repair, but this is not a requirement of the remedy. In order to use the abandonment remedy, the rental unit must have substandard conditions that affect the tenant’s health and safety and substantially breach the implied warranty of habitability. If the tenant uses this remedy properly, the tenant is not responsible for paying further rent once they have abandoned the rental unit.
7 The “Rent Withholding” Remedy
By law, a tenant is allowed to withhold (stop paying) some or all of the rent if the landlord does not fix serious defects that violate the implied warranty of habitability. The defects must be substantial—they must be serious ones that threaten the tenant’s health or safety. Before the tenant withholds rent, it is a good idea to check with a legal aid organization, lawyer, housing clinic, or tenant program to help determine if rent withholding is the appropriate remedy.

Moving Out
Giving and Receiving Proper Notice
A periodic tenancy is a tenancy that continues weekly or monthly with no specified end date. To end a periodic tenancy (for example, a month-to-month agreement), the tenant must give the landlord proper written notice before moving. Even a periodic-term agreement entered into orally requires proper written notice. The law requires the tenant to give the landlord the same amount of notice as there are days in the rental term. If the rental agreement specifies a different amount of notice, the tenant must give the landlord written notice as required by the agreement. You can give the landlord notice any time during the rental period, but you must pay full rent during the period covered by the notice.

A landlord can end a periodic tenancy by giving the tenant proper advance written notice.

Your landlord must give you 60 days, and for certain tenancies 90 days, advance written notice that the tenancy will end. If you, and every other tenant or resident, have lived in the rental unit for a year or more the notice must be 60 days. If the landlord is terminating a tenancy involving rental assistance the notice must be 90 days. However for nonassisted tenancies, the landlord may give you 30-days’ advance written notice in either of the following situations: (1) any tenant or resident has lived in the rental unit less than one year; or (2) the landlord has contracted to sell the rental unit to another person who intends to reside in it for at least a full year after the tenancy ends.

A fixed-term rental agreement expires automatically at the end of the term unless the terms of the agreement provide otherwise. At the expiration of the fixed-term rental agreement, the tenant is expected to renew the rental agreement (with the landlord’s consent) or move out if the tenancy is not covered by just cause for eviction protections.

The Tenant Protection Act covers all tenancies where the tenant has resided at the rental unit for more than 12 months or 24 months if an adult tenant has been added to the rental agreement in the last 12 months. If the tenancy is subject to just cause for eviction protections, the tenancy continues on a month-to-month basis at the end of the rental term and will continue until either the tenant gives notice of move-out or the landlord has a valid reason under the law to terminate the tenancy. Most fixed-term rental agreements do not require a tenant to notify their landlord at the expiration of their rental agreement that they do not intend to renew.
8 If the tenant does not have just cause eviction protections and continues living in the rental unit after the rental agreement expires, the landlord has two options. The landlord can proceed with an eviction or treat the tenant as a holdover tenant. If the landlord accepts rent after the end of the term, the tenant automatically becomes a holdover tenant and can continue legally to occupy the rental unit. The new tenancy will be a periodic tenancy, and the length of tenancy will be based on the length of time between rent payments. With the exception of the rental term, which is now a periodic tenancy, all other provisions of the rental agreement will remain in effect.

Tenant Protection Act of 2019
The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (“Tenant Protection Act”) (AB 1482) establishes limitations on rent increases and requires just cause for terminating certain tenancies.

The Tenant Protection Act is complex and the following serves as an overview of its just cause termination of tenancy provisions. Generally, properties covered by the just cause requirement are rental units in complexes with two or more units and the complex is at least 15 years old and are not already covered by local just cause protections. Regardless of age, a duplex in which the owner occupies a unit is exempt, as are many, but not all, single-family homes and condominiums. The law specifies two types of just causes that a landlord can cite as grounds for terminating a tenancy – “at fault” and “no fault” causes.

At fault cause can be any of the following:
• Failure to pay rent;
• Violating a material term of the rental agreement, often allowing the violation to go uncorrected after written notice to correct;
• Subletting or assigning the property in violation of the rental agreement; • Refusing to renew a rental agreement on similar terms to an expiring one; • Refusing to allow the owner to enter the property when authorized; • Maintaining a nuisance or committing waste on the property; • Using the property for criminal or unlawful purposes; • Failure of an employee or agent to vacate housing provided in connection with their duties following termination from those duties; or • Failing to deliver possession of the property after providing the tenant with written notice or agreement to do so.
9 No fault cause would be any of the following:
• Removing the unit from the rental market;
• The owner’s intent to occupy the unit for themselves or their family members (exceptions may apply for mobilehome leases);
• The owner complying with an ordinance or government order to vacate the premises; or
• The owner’s intent to demolish or substantially remodel the premises.

In situations where the reason for at fault cause can be cured, the owner is required to give the tenant notice and an opportunity to resolve the problem. If the violation is not resolved, a three-day notice terminating the tenancy may be served. No fault terminations require the landlord to either pay the tenant one month’s rent to assist with relocation or forgive their last month’s rent. In addition to limitations as to property type, just cause under the Tenant Protection Act applies only under certain conditions of tenure of the tenants. It applies if a tenancy has been in place for 12 months or more. However, if any adult is added to occupancy in the unit before any tenant has resided there for 24 months, then the protection does not apply until all tenants have resided in the unit for 12 months or any tenant has resided there continuously for 24 months.

Refund of Security Deposits
California law specifies procedures that the landlord must follow for refunding, using, and accounting for tenants’ security deposits. A rental agreement can never state that a security deposit is “nonrefundable. California law specifically allows the landlord to use a tenant’s security deposit for four purposes:
• For unpaid rent;
• For cleaning the rental unit when the tenant moves out, but only to make the unit as clean as it was when the tenant first moved in, exclusive of normal wear and tear;
• For repair of damages, other than normal wear and tear, caused by the tenant or the tenant’s guests; and
• If the rental agreement allows it, for the cost of restoring or replacing furniture, furnishings, or other items of personal property (including keys), other than because of normal wear and tear.
10 Under California law, your landlord has 21 days from the date that you moved out to:
• Send you a full refund of your security deposit; or
• Mail or personally deliver to you an itemized statement that lists the amounts of any deductions from your security deposit and the reasons for the deductions, together with a refund of any amounts not deducted. • Mail, email, provide an online link to, or provide a computer flash drive with photographs taken of the unit after the tenant moves out, but before any repairs or cleanings occur, as well as photographs of the unit after any repairs or cleanings are performed if any deductions from the tenant’s security deposit are made.

Resolving Problems
Talk With Your Landlord
Communication is the key to avoiding and resolving most problems. Both parties should remember that each has the duty to deal with the other fairly and in good faith.
