✔ How to communicate with tenants professionally
✔ When to consider a payment plan

When a tenant stops paying rent, how you respond in the first few days matters. Here's a step-by-step guide for Pleasanton area landlords on what to do — and what to avoid.

California landlords have a new law to understand in 2026.

AB 246, known as the Social Security Tenant Protection Act, creates a new eviction defense for tenants whose Social Security benefits are interrupted because of federal government delays or errors.

For rental property owners in Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Castro Valley, and San Ramon, understanding how this law affects unlawful detainer proceedings is essential for staying compliant and protecting your investment.

In this new guide, Advantage Property Management Services explains:
✔ What qualifies as a Social Security hardship
✔ When eviction proceedings must be paused
✔ What documentation tenants must provide
✔ How repayment plans work after benefits resume
✔ What landlords should document from day one

California eviction laws continue to evolve, and procedural mistakes can become expensive quickly. Staying informed is one of the best ways to reduce risk.
