What is California law for allowing secondary dwelling units in R1 zoning?

This isn't actually a question of California law, but of county and municipal law.  Zoning ordinances are not created by the state, but by governments at their most local.  So you're talking about a board of township supervisors, a borough council, or some other equivalent body.  This question not only varies from state to state but from county to county within a state, and from municipality to municipality within a county.  To make matters even more complicated, exactly what constitutes R1 zoning varies widely.  Without knowing *exactly* where you live, this question is impossible to answer.

I know in San Bernardino County, right next door, the presumption for first degree burg is the low term in prison.\n\nThe person's lawyer will have more info than anyone on Yahoo answers will be able to give you.

Check with the city hall for information about that. Each places has it own guide lines on rental property.

You'll find the requirements in the California Vehicle Code, section 22511.8, et. seq.\n\nBoston's answer is, I'm sure, correct as to what San Francisco wants, but it's only part of the story...the City has to the right to further define how their disabled stalls are established, and that's what that is.  The reason there's no blue mentioned is because of section 22511.8...it mandates the blue, and the City of San Francisco didn't see the need to repeat that in their ordinance.  \n\nSo the *requirements* are contained in the Vehicle Code section I cited above.  If you follow them, you are creating a legally enforceable parking space.  Each individual city or county can enact an ordinance that allows for more posting, different widths, etc., but a failure to adhere to them will not make the otherwise properly created stall any less legal.

California Civil Code Section 1946 provides:\n"1946.  A hiring of real property, for a term not specified by the\nparties, is deemed to be renewed as stated in Section 1945, at the\nend of the term implied by law unless one of the parties gives\nwritten notice to the other of his intention to terminate the same,\nat least as long before the expiration thereof as the term of the\nhiring itself, not exceeding 30 days; provided, however, that as to\ntenancies from month to month either of the parties may terminate the\nsame by giving at least 30 days' written notice thereof at any time\nand the rent shall be due and payable to and including the date of\ntermination.  It shall be competent for the parties to provide by an\nagreement at the time such tenancy is created that a notice of the\nintention to terminate the same may be given at any time not less\nthan seven days before the expiration of the term thereof.  The\nnotice herein required shall be given in the manner prescribed in\nSection 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by sending a copy by\ncertified or registered mail addressed to the other party.  In\naddition, the lessee may give such notice by sending a copy by\ncertified or registered mail addressed to the agent of the lessor to\nwhom the lessee has paid the rent for the month prior to the date of\nsuch notice or by delivering a copy to the agent personally."\n\nBasically it means that if you are a month to month tenant, your tenancy can be terminated at any time on 30 days notice.

Look in the CA business and professions code.

You need pictures. I would call a real estate attorney and see if they can help. Sometimes when you mention the law they change their tune.

it depends on your county.  A great book would be one of the Nolo Press books on tenant rights.  Nolo Press is based in California and they have several specialized books on California laws geared for individuals who need basic legal information but don't want to hire a lawyer.

That is not quite what the law says.\n\nIn actual fact it is that no more than three unrelated people are allowed to occupy one dwelling unit, regardless of the number of bedrooms, unless the landlord has a “Rooming House License.” \n\nSo people can live together, but only if the landlord has the correct kind of renting license.  Or, if the people are joint owners of the house and are not paying rent, they can also live together.

in general in cal, you can agree to anything, unless the law says ou can't.\nwith such a general question it is dificult to get specific.\nthe bay area counties are among the most restrictive in ca, and rent control is a fact of life, where the rest of the state is more relaxed.\ncontact the local board of realtors for better info.

Check your county, for much of California the time frame is 21 days.  If it is over that, you can sue for treble damages (3 times the amount due).  Did you all move out at the same time?  The rules might be different if some of you are staying and some going, to your landlord the unit would then still be occupied.\n\nA good book for your would be the Nolo Press series on Landlord and Tenant laws, check any bookstore reference section.  Nolo Press writes legal guides and the company is based in California.

Usually their are written into the deed restrictions. Besides getting rid of the association can lead to a less desirable neighborhood.

I'm sorry, I missed part 1... but let me try here...\n\nMold is a real problem for apartment complexs, but it's really not the problem of the AG, maybe the health department.\n\nThere has been an awful lot of attention given to this problem in commercial real estate over the past 4 years.  A number of lawsuits still persist and their have been initiatives to come up with a standard resolution.\n\nWhat I'd recommend is that you search for mold commercial real estate rulings.  This will give you a little more.  Add Idaho to the search phrase to see if there have been initiatives in your state.\n\nYou may want to seek the advice of a RE or Cival attorney.

Probably yes. If you're in that position, you should read through the court paperwork to see what it says.\n\nYour state probably has a web site where you can get more info. The link below has info for CA
