## California Real Estate and Cash Buyer Regulations Reference

### Licensing

### Foreclosure Law
California Civil Code 2924 governs nonjudicial foreclosures. After a Notice of Default, the borrower has 90 days before a Notice of Trustee Sale can be recorded, then 21 days before the auction. A pre-foreclosure cash sale must fund and record before the trustee sale to halt the proceeding.

### Probate Law
California Probate Code Sections 10400-10592 govern the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA). When the court grants full authority under IAEA, an executor or administrator can sell real property without court supervision, provided proper notice is given to heirs.

### Tenant Protections
California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019) applies to most residential rental properties in San Jose with a 5% plus CPI annual rent increase cap. San Jose's Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (San Jose Ordinance No. 30008) requires just cause for eviction of qualifying tenants.

### Property Tax
California Proposition 13 limits the assessed value increase to 2% per year until a change of ownership. Santa Clara County's effective property tax rate is approximately 1.1% of assessed value annually (SCC Assessor, sccassessor.org).
