Answer B: Single-family homes where the owner occupies the property and provides proper notice of exemption

AB 1482 exempts owner-occupied single-family homes (where the owner lives in one of no more than two units), condos sold separately, and certain other properties — provided the owner gives written notice of the exemption in the lease. The act covers most multi-family residential properties over 15 years old not already subject to local rent control.
