Robert Nida ,
Independent Owner
2015 SDCAA President
A
group of SDCAA members,
directors, and staff visited
Sacramento last month
to meet with legislators from San
Diego County and around the state
to talk about legislation introduced
this year that affects the rental
housing industry. We appreciate
the time state officials spent with
us and their willingness to share
their views about these issues. The
following is a brief summary of what
our volunteers do for the SDCAA and
its members during the legislative
cycle and how they, and you, can
effectively communicate with
lawmakers.
The work of our State Legislative
Committee makes our organization
more effective, but it is a major
undertaking and requires
commitment. The committee’s 10
members meet monthly to provide
our staff and Sacramento lobbyists
their analysis of bills as they are
introduced and amended. The
committee is under the leadership
of Chair Kendra Bork and Vice
Chair Christine La Marca, and it is
staffed by Molly Kirkland, Director
of Public Affairs. They work hard
to understand how the legislation
impacts property managers and
owners. The committee reviews
hundreds of proposals each year
that might affect our industry. It
receives input from our Sacramento
lobbyists at Aaron Read & Associates;
the staff, Terry McHale, Pat Moran,
and Jennifer Tannihill, provides
the committee information
on the author’s intent,
sponsors of the proposal,
amendments in the works,
and the concerns or
interests other groups have
with the proposal. The SDCAA
Committee then votes on what
position to take and communicates
the position to our lobbyists. They
then inform the author about our
position and provide information,
propose changes if appropriate,
and begin contacting members on
the legislative committee who will
vote on the proposal - if necessary,
they might publicly testify at the
committee hearing.
Several SDCAA members have asked
me how they can help influence
the outcome of these deliberations,
how to communicate, and what to
communicate with legislators. Those
who wish to assist the committee are
welcome to provide input to SDCAA
staff on legislation it is considering.
Knowledgeable input from those
who are in the industry is always
helpful and appreciated. In talking
with legislators about proposals, do
your homework on the proposal and
be succinct in stating what you like
or dislike about the proposed bill.
Be sure to know the bill number, the
name of the committee considering
it, and the date of the hearing
(Usually, the SDCAA staff provides
such information by email).
Timing is important, so try to
contact your local legislator at a time
that coincides with an upcoming
committee hearing or floor vote in
Sacramento by calling their district
or the Capitol office. The legislator’s
staff will usually take down the
information you provide, including
your name and whether you live
or work in the local district, or you
can send your message by email.
You can send your letter by fax
(facsimile). If you personally know
the legislator, try to speak to him or
her directly or make a request with
his or her staff – but be aware that
they are usually unavailable Tuesday
through Thursday because of their
committee schedule. Another option
is to speak to them if they are at an
event you attend. Many legislators
are in their district offices on Friday
and may be available to meet with
you then. Don’t be reluctant to
provide your views, whatever the
circumstances – just be accurate,
succinct, courteous, and provide
relevant information so that the
specific measure can be identified. A
few timely constituent calls from the
legislator’s district can be immensely
helpful in encouraging a particular
vote.
The most convenient way to know
which legislator(s) represents you or
your company is to visit the SDCAA’s
website, click the Legislation menu,
and select the “Who Represents me”
tab - you can find their address,
telephone number, and email
address on their website, or you can
call the SDCAA at (858) 278-8070.

From the
Executive
Director's
Desk
irst I would like thank the
presenters, the exhibitors,
attendees, and anyone else
who participated at this year’s
Education Conference and EXPO.
I would also like to congratulate
all of the Maintenance Mania
winners and competitors! Your
participation and enthusiasm
made it a spectacular event.
When we come together at
events like the EXPO, or attend
our networking and education
seminars - we build a community.
When we have community, we
have strength in numbers. Given
the present situation, we need to
act as a community to overcome
present and long term challenges
facing our industry.
In my April message, I addressed
some of the political and
regulatory, past and present,
challenges to the rental housing
industry - Well, let’s add
environmental challenges to the
list. Recent actions taken by the
Governor, State Water Board,
and the Metropolitan Water
District show the seriousness of
the state’s drought and it has
local agencies scrambling – which
means more pressure on us to
reduce our consumption. For now,
we grin and bear it because we
need to conserve water because
the drought is serious - we,
our employees, residents, and
4
| RentalOwner May 2015
properties need to use less water.
While we grudgingly comply with
the rules and hope the drought
ends soon, we need to tell the state
to get serious about increasing our
water supply and allow our water
agencies to produce more drinking
water from new sources such
as advanced water purification
and desalination. Like any
other challenge, as long we stay
informed and act early, we will
overcome adversity.
The City of San Diego’s Code
Enforcement Department provided
us with a great and timely article
titled, Code Enforcement 101, on
the most common code violations
and what to do if you are noticed
with a violation on page 6. We
have updates on page 16 regarding
how to help the state conserve
water during the drought –
don’t forget that our Water
Conservation Information Packet
and new door hanger template
about conserving water are now
available on the SDCAA’s website,
www.sdcaa.com. We have our
RRP refresher course on May 26,
and save the date for our Reverse
Trade Show on July 21. Be on the
lookout for the SDCAA decals that
we have mailed out.
As always, call us or visit our
website if you need assistance.

CODE
ENFORCEMENT
101:
Residential Rental Properties
By Michael S. Richmond, Deputy Director, Code Enforcement Division, Development
A
s an owner of residential rental property, you may or may not be familiar with the Code Enforcement
Division (CED) of the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department. CED is tasked with
responding to complaints regarding a wide variety of alleged zoning, building, and housing violations
that get reported each year. CED’s main mission is: “To work in partnership with the people of San Diego
to maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment; to improve the quality of San Diego’s
neighborhoods through education, enforcement and abatement; and to respond to community concerns and
attain code compliance while maintaining high professional standards and continually seeking improvement
and innovation.”
At first glance, the enforcement process seems simple and
straight forward. After necessary property research is
completed, the case investigator conducts an inspection,
identifies violations, selects an appropriate remedy, issues
a notice or citation containing a reasonable time frame for
compliance, then returns to the property to inspect for
compliance, case closed.
However, due to the complex nature and unique
characteristics of each property, the code enforcement
process can sometimes seem daunting and overwhelming.
Many regulations come into play including the San Diego
Municipal Code, State Building Codes, and State Health
and Safety codes, to name a few. Another unique factor
applicable locally is the variety of types and ages of our
housing stock in San Diego. Many neighborhoods have
residential properties that were built in the early 1900s
which have undergone minimal transformation as to
upgrades and maintenance. This often creates a challenge
to property owners when it comes to ensuring that the
residential units they are leasing are meeting the minimum
requirements of a safe and healthy dwelling unit.

So how can you, as the
landlord, do your part to
ensure that Code Enforcement
investigators don’t come
knocking on your door?
Probably the most important
way to start is to carefully
interview, screen, and conduct
thorough background checks of
prospective tenants. Along with
your responsibility as a property
owner to repair and maintain your
unit in a safe and working manner,
the tenant shares a responsibility
to keep the unit clean, monitor
the behavior of guests, and timely
report any maintenance issues
that require repair by the owner.
Also included in the equation is
the provision of responsible onsite managers, when required,
to be responsive to any issues
requiring immediate owner
attention.
Another very important way to
avoid Code Enforcement is to
regularly inspect your rental
unit for compliance with basic
compliance items as well as
checking on how your tenant(s)
are maintaining the residence.
What are the most common
violations found when
inspecting residential rental
units?
The following list contains the
“Top Ten” most commonly found
violations found during the course
of code enforcement inspections
of rental dwelling units:
1. Missing smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors.
2. Plumbing deficiencies: lack of
water, lack of hot water, drain
line leaks, improperly installed
water heaters.
3. Electrical deficiencies:
inoperable outlet or switch,

4. Inoperable or lack of fixed

6. Non-compliant security bars

10.Double cylinder keyed egress

What should I do if I
am contacted by Code
Enforcement regarding alleged
violations at my residential
rental property?
First and foremost,
8
communication is the key to
getting resolution to any problem
and Code Enforcement is no
different. Each Code Enforcement
case is assigned to an investigator.
It is important to have an on-going
dialogue with that investigator
throughout the process. Your
cooperation with providing lawful
notice to your tenant(s) to arrange
for an inspection and being
willing to discuss any violations
observed with the investigator
is a great start. Remember that
the main goal in the process is
to achieve voluntary compliance
by correcting the violations in a
reasonable amount of time. By
achieving voluntary compliance,
you will avoid costly fines or
penalties.
What are some of the more
serious violations?
More serious cases involve
properties that contain illegally
created dwelling units, many of
which exceed allowable zoning
density. Also, when substandard
housing units are found, as
defined in California Health and
Safety Code Section 17920.3,
compliance will often require that
tenants be vacated and relocated
by the property owner while the
property is either repaired to a
habitable condition or, in some
cases, demolished. These more
egregious cases are often referred
to the Code Enforcement Unit
of the City Attorney’s Office for
prosecution.

President's
Column

Fjellestad Properties, Inc.
T
he new post-recession
realities in the San Diego
region will include housing
shifts during the balance of this
decade. Perhaps things will return
to the way it has always been
for Independent Rental Owners.
Certainly we have experienced
pent–up rental demand and short
supply of rentals in the past. We
have been through our share of
economic cycles. It’s nothing new
for us to receive unsolicited offers
by brokers to list and/or actual
offers to purchase by hungry
investors.
However informed we are by local
history, if we stop at what we
know from the past we miss the
real differences in this next cycle
that spell a marketing opportunity
depending upon how we choose
to conduct our rental business.
Indeed, for an entire array of
businesses that are related or
supported by this essential
rental housing part of the local
economy we need to connect
some important pieces of data;
understand the details behind
the current housing behaviors;
and what can legitimately be
predicted about rental ownership
and operation. Then we can
strategically plan our marketing
advantage.
Readers of this publication will
want to study and understand
the stats that come from the
semi-annual vacancy survey.
The San Diego region is home
to 1.1m households; nearly half
of which are rental households.
There are neighborhoods that are
predominately rental housing and
many zip codes report rental rates
that have increased substantially
during the last decade and are

projected to grow at twice this
pace in the next 5 years. For more

Also take note that the majority
of this essential rental housing
stock is over 40 years old. Since
it cannot be replaced it must be
renewed and repositioned in
the rental market place. Let me
quote Roger Showley’s recent UT
article on “Housing sustainability
in action” – “Meadowbrook
Apartments in San Diego’s Skyline
neighborhood touts a community
garden, granite countertops,
computer lab, solar energy system
and the latest in playground
equipment. And yet this 448-unit
low-income housing project on
22 acres is more than 40 years
old”. Rental property renewal will
become standard because it makes
financial sense given the positive
rental trends.

comes back but then take other
steps to invest toward retirement
goals. In a separate lifestyle
decision more boomers are
becoming “renters by choice.”
Instead, there will be more rental
ownership as an investment
strategy for a growing portion of
the aging generation that realizes
that even a couple of rental homes
can build their net worth while
providing additional retirement
income.
Local residents are increasingly
alarmed about their largest
household expense. Therefore,
they will definitely be a)
frustrated by rent increases and
b) demanding as rental customers.
So, it is imperative that the “status
quo” be replaced with “best
practices” for operating rental
property including: technological
integration, investment in human
capital, modern marketing, and
customer relations. These are all
welcome changes in an industry
badly in need of a paradigm shift. We need to prove
to our customers that our credentials, training,
oversight and offsite support are in place giving them
confidence that “their home which is central to their
lifestyle” is at the core of our “business plan”.
There is only one path forward. It is through a
gauntlet of consumer protection and thorny customer
relations. Our renters will not stand by during a
property improvement that impairs or makes their
life less convenient without your acknowledgement
and compensation. Paying rent is going to be paid
in a last minute, secure fashion that suits the rental
customers, not your custom. Lack of communication
on an unresolved issue will not be tolerated. If your
ownership does not include being a full time operator
with business hours it will not be your renter that is
inconvenienced or feeling discriminated against.
The real estate industry has traditionally been
dominated by the real estate transactional value
of buying income property and holding it for
price appreciation allowing the investor to trade
up. Property operations are necessary between
transactions creating a need to manage; mostly by
controlling expense and vacancy. The millennial
vision is one of an ongoing competitive business
providing an essential bundle of product and services
by professionals that are supported by management
systems and technologies.
I see the next 5 years as a renaissance of the
independent rental owner as an essential housing
provider and a savvy business owner in the local
community. This is an intelligent investor that is
building wealth and providing for retirement in a
practical way. The tired public notion of “landlords”
taking advantage of captive “tenants” will be replaced
with entrepreneurial leadership that attracts a
community encouragement for private investments
in improved housing and new life for established
neighborhoods.

conservation measures
• Mayor Fulconer releases new budget and
proposal to go after bad landlords
• City of El Cajon's incentive program on 5%
discount on delayed sewer billings
State and MWD issue tidal wave of
new water conservation measures
The Governor, state water agencies, and the
Metropolitan Water District approved new water
conservations measures for San Diego water agencies
and their customers. The measures not only require
water agencies to reduce water usage, but the region
will receive less water than previously promised.
Governor Jerry Brown signed Executive Order B-2915 requiring all water agencies statewide and their
customers to decrease their water consumption by 25
percent of 2013 levels. The executive order came one
12
day after the governor signed a $1.1 billion legislative
package that issues bonds for water projects and
grants emergency funding to communities affected
by the drought.
The executive order asks state and local water
agencies to launch a new initiative to replace 50
million square feet of turf with drought tolerant
landscaping; commercial, industrial and institutional
properties need to immediately reduce potable
water use by 25 percent, and water agencies need
to implement ordinances that increase water
efficiency standards for new and existing landscapes.
Newly constructed homes and
buildings will be prohibited from
using potable water for outdoor
irrigation, and bans the use of
potable water for ornamental turf
on public street medians. Water
agencies must change their rate
structure and adopt penalties
and surcharges to maximize
water conservation. At the same
time, the Governor’s order gives
priority review and approval
of infrastructure projects and
programs that increase local water
supplies, and suspends California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
review for certain actions.
The State Water Resources Control
Board (SWRCB) issued water
reduction targets to each water
district statewide. Most of the
water districts in the San Diego
region receive the reduction
target of 25 percent or the
maximum of 35 percent – only
a few cities like San Diego and
Oceanside received a 20 percent
reduction.
In response to the Governor’s
order, the Metropolitan Water
District (MWD) Board of Directors
voted to reduce water deliveries
by 15 percent to all of its water
agency members – which includes
the San Diego County Water
Authority and its members. If
the drought continues, the MWD
might withhold more water
which could pose a serious
challenge to properties that have
adopted indoor and outdoor
water efficiency technology and
techniques.
SDCAA members can find the
latest information on the water
use restrictions in their area by
visiting SDCAA’s webpage at www.
sdcaa.com, by clicking on the
‘Local Issues’ tab under Legislation
- members can also download
the SDCAA Water Conservation
Information Packet, and print
door hangers to share with their
residents.
The SDCAA strongly encourages
member to conserve water, and
pass along the information with
your employees and residents.
Mayor Faulconer
releases new budget
and proposal to go after
bad landlords
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer
released his proposed $3.2 billion
city budget for FY 2015-16 on April
13. The budget asks for expanding
operation hours for city recreation
centers and libraries, and paving
1,000 miles of roads over the
next five years. The city predicts
the city’s revenue will rise from
property taxes, and transient
occupancy taxes - the mayor
13
also proposes to update nine
community plans.
Also in the Mayor’s budget is
the addition of four new code
enforcement officers to tackle
problem landlords. Responding
to recent news articles about a
landlord who faced numerous
complaints from his tenants
regarding substandard housing
and habitability issues, Faulconer
promised that he would target
problem landlords who are not
complying with local and state
law. The new officers will be sent
out to investigate complaints
– cost for the positions will be
$333,891. If the Council's Budget &
Government Efficiency Committee
approves the proposal, it will be
voted on by the full council this
June. Again, the SDCAA strongly
encourages owners and property
managers to comply with city
codes and statewide habitability
standards.

City of El Cajon’s
incentive program on
5% discount on delayed
sewer billings
Since mid-2013, the City of El
Cajon was inconsistent with
sending sewer on time bills to
their customers. The billing
provider under contract with El
Cajon was not prepared to handle
the task and as a result, the City
amassed a serious backlog of
sewer billings to its customers. El
Cajon is resolving the issue and
has been mailing the delayed
sewer bills to customers to get up
to speed. The City is encouraging
their customers to pay their
delayed sewer bills in full as soon
as possible using a new incentive.
El Cajon is currently offering a
one-time financial incentive to
all of its customers to get their
past due sewer billings paid in
full. Customers that have received
all of their delayed sewer billings
and pay the total balance within
30 days may contact the city and
request a 5% discount on the total
delayed charges. City customers
can email the City at jornelas@

The 2015
Drought:
How to help our State save
water while protecting your
bottom line.
By Marc Treitler, JD/MBA, Conservice Utility Management and
Billing
I
So what is an owner to do? The answer may come
in the form of a practice that the City of San Diego
has been on the forefront of-making tenants
responsible for water usage. Not only will this
protect your bottom line from rate increases,
it will promote significant conservation. As
detailed below, when a tenant pays for
water, he uses up to 39% less. This type
of decrease in water consumption
may prove significant enough to
protect your property from
penalties and increased
rates that are likely to be
imposed on buildings that
are not able to conserve.
Promoting conservation
by making tenants
responsible for water

t seems that you cannot watch the news these days without hearing about
California’s drought, the measures the State is taking to combat it and the
increased costs your property may be facing. The State, and most local
cities and water providers, have or are in the process of implementing water
restrictions that will affect your property. These range from restrictions on
irrigation, car washing, fountains, etc. You may be limited in watering
landscaping on certain days of the week and at certain times of the day.
Unless we see the skies open up with rain, these restrictions are only
going to increase. A current list of City enforced water restrictions
can be found at www.sandiego.gov/water/conservation/
drought/prohibitions.shtml
costs is almost universally lauded
as a significant conservation
tool. Government agencies
across the country have studied
this phenomenon and have
concluded that submetering (and
other forms of billing) result
in unmatched conservation
benefits. For example, citing
water conservation as an effective
response to rising water shortage
risks, the EPA acknowledged
submetering as an “effective but
little-used tool to support water
conservation” (EPA, 2003). In
addition, the EPA noted, “the use
of submeters to measure water
consumption is a necessary prerequisite to achieving full cost and
conservation pricing” (EPA, 2003).
Written by Industrial Economics,
Incorporated for the National
Apartment Association and the
National Multi-Housing Council,
the study “Submetering, Rubs, and
Water Conservation” provides that
tenants who pay for the will use
less, reporting that submetered
properties used 18-39 percent less
water than those properties that
billed water service in rent.
San Diego fully adopted
this approach in 2010 when
it approved the San Diego
Submetering Ordinance.
Recognizing that almost 50
percent of the city’s population
live in multi-family or mixeduse buildings that are not
separately metered, the
Submetering Ordinance requires
the submetering of all new
construction post June 1, 2010.
California is not far behind as the
legislature is now attempting to
mandate water submeters on new
construction (see Senate Bill 7).
If you your property is located
in San Diego and was built
in the last five years, you
most likely have already
implemented one of
the most powerful
tools in
conserving

all across the City have
implemented allocation billing
programs, commonly known
as “Rubs.” Rubs programs
have proven to significantly
reduce consumption.
• Rubs programs are legal and
very common throughout San
Diego and surrounding areas.
• Common allocation methods
are occupancy count and
square footage. Under an
occupancy rubs method, for
example, tenants pay for water
and sewer costs based on the
number of occupants in their
units compared to the number
of occupants at the property.
The less water all tenants use,
the lower the costs should be
for all units.
• Although you can currently
use any reasonable allocation
method agreed to by your
tenants, it is important to note
that methods solely based
on square footage have been
banned in Texas and other
areas. Occupancy based rubs
method have therefore become
much more common in our
City.
• Knowing that their actions
can lower their water bill,
tenants are much more likely
to take shorter showers,
combine laundry loads and
notify management of leaks
or running toilets (which will
also help you with long term
maintenance issues). The
NAA/NMHC study referenced
demonstrated that rubs
properties use up to 27%
less than properties where
tenants do not pay for water.
Note, such savings have NOT
been found in flat rate billing
programs and such programs
are often discouraged. A
tenant needs to know that
his consumption behavior
can affect his bill (and this
connection is missing with flat
rate billing programs).
As you can see, almost all
properties can utilize some sort of
water billing program. The next
question you should ask is “how do
I implement such a program?” The
good news is tens of thousands of
units in San Diego already use such
programs, some of which have
been in place for over 20 years.
To implement your own program,
here are some tips to keep in
mind:
• For submetering, you will need
to use California type approved
submeters and a licensed
Service Agency to install the
meters.
• Almost all newly constructed
apartments in San Diego will

be required to install water
submeters (and the State is
likely to follow).
Any billing program should
be described specifically in
the lease and agreed to by the
tenant.
The water bill should contain
specific items that are required
by the State and the City.
Get your staff and residents
excited about the programshare the conservation
benefits and consider
rewarding behavior.
Consider implementing a
utility management program
where your utility billing
company will pay, audit
and monitor all bills at your
properties. This data can
often be used to identify leaks
or other anomalies at your
property. One property was
recently able to identify leaks
and running toilets with this
type of program and reduced
consumption by 45%-with a
combination of conservation
from the tenant billing
program and the repairs.
There are dozens of companies
that specialize in utility billing
in San Diego and can ensure
that the guidelines listed
above are followed. Many of
these service providers have
in-house attorneys to guide
you through the process

THE

Affairs, NAA
more! The House actually passed
a solution to one of the toughest
issues they have avoided for years
– the Medicare payment standard
for doctors – and it appears the
Senate will follow suit in just a few
weeks.
I
know you are as shocked as
I am at the behavior of our
Congress before they left for
their spring break recess. Just
when you thought they could do
nothing more to surprise us, to
stop us in our tracks, to make us
question all that we know and
thought we understood about
our legislative process, they do
something crazy. They actually
brought up, debated and voted
on legislation! But wait, there’s
I’m reminded of the scene from
“A Few Good Men” where Tom
Cruise, an attorney who prefers to
negotiate plea agreements rather
than actually try cases, steps into
where his clients will be tried and
says, “So this is what a courtroom
looks like!” There are members of
Congress who really don’t know
what the legislative process is
supposed to look like since it’s
never actually been used during
their tenure. Let’s hope this is
the start of a new normal for our
political leaders.
The apartment industry also
benefitted from this great
awakening in the political process.
Two bills of significant importance
were passed by one of the two
chambers; critical steps toward
ultimately becoming law. In
the House, the “Tenant Income
Verification Relief Act of 2015”
was passed under suspension
of the rules, meaning that the
support was so strong that only
a voice vote was necessary. This
legislation would reduce the
administrative burden under the
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
program by requiring income
verification every three years
instead of annually for voucher
holders who are on fixed incomes.
Miraculously, this bill has the
support of both property owners
and tenant activists and we hope
that an equally quick path can be
found in the Senate.
In the Senate, the “Energy
Efficiency Improvement Act”
(also known as “Tenant Star”)
passed the Senate by voice vote
at the very end of a marathon
debate on the federal budget and
immediately before the chamber
adjourned for the spring break
recess. This legislation directs
the EPA to create an incentive
similar to its Energy Star program
for use by tenants in commercial
real estate. This marks the first
time the issue of split incentives
in energy efficiency between
building owners and tenants has
been addressed.
The 2015 NAA Capitol Conference
also took place this past month
and the apartment industry once
again showed its power and broke
all previous records for lobby
day participation. Four hundred
21
owners, operators, property
managers, C-suite executives,
suppliers and affiliate staff
stormed the Hill and lobbied
Congress on enhancements to
the Section 8 program, reform
of the nation’s tax system and
needed federal leadership on
immigration. An estimated 250
to 300 Congressional offices were
visited over the course of the day
which is an impressive show of
force for any industry.
It’s worth noting that the Tenant
Income Verification Relief Act
mentioned above and passed by
the House was a specific bill on
which the apartment industry
lobbied during the Capitol
Conference. Grassroots advocacy
works!
Of course, we will wait to see if
this new found collegiality leads
to other legislative successes
for the Congress. There are
plenty of hills left to climb, some
symbolic, some substantive. For
example, the House and Senate
Republicans will have to reconcile
the differences between their two
budget blueprints. The budget has
no force of law but does guide the
activities of the appropriations
committees and so issues like
how much to spend on defense
versus how much to sacrifice to
the national debt reduction gods
will be at the forefront. On the
other hand, the nation’s debt
limit is a real thing. We actually
reached our borrowing limit in
early March, but the Treasury
Department has several measures
it can take to keep us afloat for
several more months. Still, this
cannot go on forever and Congress
will have to increase that limit
at some point in the very near
future.
22
One issue with a firm deadline
is the Highway Trust Fund. This
is the pot of money that is used
to pay for federal and state
infrastructure – roads, bridges,
rail, ports and a lot more – and
it runs out on May 31. Congress
needs to agree on how to
replenish the fund – increase the
gas tax, place a one-time levy on
untaxed foreign earnings or as
part of broader tax reform. It also
needs to find a way to get a longterm deal in place to increase
the certainty in the system. This
will not be easy and will be the
next major test of the ability of
Congressional leaders to thread
the needle and move critical
legislation that the country
desperately needs. They will
almost certainly face challenges
from those in the GOP who are
drawing a hard line on any federal
government spending.

Water Conservation
By National Water & Power Services (NWP), Inc.
S
ome of our most basic expenditures have skyrocketed over the past few years, including water
charges. In the past decade alone, water rates have doubled across the country. According
to the American Water Works Association, the charges for 1,000 gallons of water have
increased yearly by almost 5 percent. It is important that property and portfolio managers as well as
apartment residents understand the importance of water and what they can do to conserve it.
Residents can easily
change their
comes
a
lower their water usage without having to drastically
habits with just a few easy steps. In addition, when it
to saving
money on your water bill, there are
few
things that can be done, both on
the part of portfolio managers and
property owners themselves.
© Sashazamarasha | Dreamstime.com
For Portfolio Managers and
Property Managers:
1. Make sure that the
properties you own are in
compliance with the most
efficient water conservation
methods and technologies.
By investing in more
energy efficient technology
(water heaters, shower
heads, etc.) on your properties,
you'll be able to save money on
utilities charges and do your part to
conserve both water and energy.
38
2.
Inform your apartment
residents of energy efficient
practices that are in keeping with
local energy codes. By educating
your residents of energy standards
and enforcing these standards,
you'll be able to increase awareness
of conservation efforts on a more
fundamental level, thereby saving your business
money in the long run.
3. Adapt energy efficiency
in every aspect of your
business. When looking into
maintenance providers,
contractors, etc., use
companies that use energy
efficient practices. For
instance, using landscaping
companies that practice
xeriscaping (using native
plants that require minimal
watering and are more
resistant to pests) can cut
energy costs and benefit the
surrounding environment
on several levels.
For Apartment Residents:
1. Leaky toilets, pipes,
or faucets can waste a
significant amount of water
and money. Make sure to do
three simply tests regularly:
3. Run water less.
• Run dishwashers only
when they are fully
loaded.
• Do not leave faucets
running when shaving or
brushing teeth.
• Take showers instead of
baths.
• Install flow restrictors in
all of your faucets.
By abiding by these practices,
not only will you and your
residents be able to lower their
monthly bills, but you'll be able
to do your part to protect one of
Earth's most critical resources.

New Water Heater
Regulations for
Southern California
By Susan Adams, ASAP Drain and Plumbing
M
ore stringent energy efficiency standards for
residential hot water heaters have just taken
effect. All DHW heaters manufactured for use in the
United States after April 16, 2015 must meet new U.S.
Department of Energy requirements. So they actually
apply throughout the country.
What does that mean for me?
For the next few months, nothing; it will take that
long before existing inventories are sold. After
that, if you need a new heater you can expect
to pay a bit more (actually a lot more if you're
replacing an electric unit) and you may have
trouble accommodating a bigger unit because
of it's thicker insulation. If you're on a tight
budget and need a replacement, now is
the time. But remember you'll be trading
lower up-front costs for higher energy
bills for years to come.
Let's look at the requirements, and
discuss some options that you have for
after the new regulations have taken
effect and old inventories are gone.
High Efficiency Water Heater
Regulations
Water heater efficiency improvements
are just a part of a broader heatingperformance law with significant longterm economic and ecological benefits.
Over the next 30 years they are projected
to deliver $10 billion in energy savings and
keep 164 million tons of carbon dioxide
out of the air. Plus there will be reductions
in mercury and nitrogen oxide emissions.
40
All together it's the equivalent to
taking some 46 million cars off the
road. But you keep your car!
For many people the changes will
be minor. If your current heater
has a tank smaller than 55 gallons
a replacement will have more
insulation and be a few inches
taller and a few inches wider. For
these smaller heaters initial costs
are expected to increase 15 to 35%.
For units with 55 gallon and
larger tanks the required
changes go much further. Gas
fired heaters must incorporate
a special condensing tank, at a
significant extra cost. Replacing
an electric heater requires a
whole new technology. Nearly
all existing electric DHW heaters
use electric resistance -- a simple
element similar to the burner on
an electric stove. Electric water
heaters manufactured after April
16, 2015 must use heat pump
technology. That's a bit like an
air-conditioner run backwards,
and can cut electricity use in half
or even more. But heat pump
units can cost as much as three
times more.
You'll still have plenty of hot
water, and if you're able to go
below a 55 gallon tank your cost
savings could be very significant.
Tankless Water Heaters
Another option is to get rid of
the tank completely. A tankless
water heater heats water only
as you use it and is very small.
They're often installed right at
the point of use so you get instant
hot water without waiting for it to
run from the heater through your
pipes. They can often cut energy
use in half. Gas-fired tankless
water heaters have lower energy
costs but require special venting
as part of their installation and
require annual maintenance.
Electric units have relatively low
installation costs and negligible
maintenance costs.
If your current water is in a small
closet or outdoor locker and
barely fits, your biggest expense
may actually be "remodeling" to
accommodate a larger heater.
Limited Space?
Here are a couple of options if
your main difficulty is limited
space.
• Reduce the tank size and use a
higher-output burner.
• Reduce the tank size, set the
thermostat higher, and install
a mixing valve for safety
against scalding.

May is Bike Month –
Do Your Tenants Need
a Place for Their Bikes
to Call Home?
By Kyle Carscaden, BikeSD.org
A
s SDCAA executive director, Alan Pentico, wrote in the March 2015 issue, San Diego's rental market is
shaping up to be very strong in 2015. On the heels of all this good news is the change that is shaping
the entire apartment industry as
cities around the state and country adopt
policies to reduce waste and water use.
Part of remaining on the cutting edge and
being attractive to the quickly evolving
rental market is capturing and embracing
the reality that the transportation sector
is also changing. Gone are the days when
all tenants only needed a safe and secure
place to park their vehicle. Now tenants
are tapping into the transportation toolbox
for many of their needs and this toolbox
includes vehicles, transit, car-sharing
services, on-demand rideshare as well as
bicycles. And with the latter tool, highquality bicycle parking.
In San Diego, there are many changes that
have come about over the last three years
that has been unprecedented in San Diego's
history. Regionally and city-wide, leaders
have been embracing the bicycle as a travel
choice for quick trips as well as exercise
and exploration. Living in one of the most
beautiful regions in the world, it's almost a
sin to not experience San Diego's beauty in
the most fulfilling way possible - a bicycle.
One facet of this shift in changing attitude is
brought on by demographic and economic
45
changes that hasn't been fully
embraced or capitalized upon by
the apartment industry and, that
is investing in high-quality bicycle
parking. And the market is ripe for
picking.
There is a premium cost to living
in Southern California, and San
Diego culture is based around
active living and it's worth tapping
into San Diego residents' natural
predilection for active living to
invest in high-quality bicycle
parking to elevate and distinguish
yourself from other buildings
by providing added amenities
for minimal investment but one
that results in a much higher
added value and return as well as
goodwill.
Tenants don't want to store their
bicycles in their apartments (or
on their balconies) when space
46
is at a premium. But there is
value in providing an amenity
and even charging a premium on
the bicycle storage space while
distinguishing and differentiating
yourself from your competition.
BikeSD does free consultations to
help apartment buildings to get
the proper bike parking facilities
and racks. Quality bicycle parking
is a desired amenity among a
tremendous amount of renters
in the San Diego region. And it's
worth tapping into this market.
If your building needs its old bike
parking replaced or you need a
price quote on installing new bike
parking, don't hesitate to reach
out to me at [email protected].

Legal
Questions and Answers
By Todd A. Brisco, Todd A. Brisco & Associates, A Professional Corporation
Q
that?
Can I increase a
security deposit after
the resident has been
in the unit for two
years? How do I do
A
Yes, the landlord may
provide a 30 Day Notice
of Change of Terms
of Tenancy stating
the security deposit is increased
to the new amount. Now there
are exceptions. As for example,
the resident must not be in the
middle of their lease term. If the
resident is on a month-to-month
agreement, the landlord simply
provides a 30 day written notice.
Remember that the maximum
security deposit (adding all
48
security deposits together) a
landlord may charge is two
times the monthly rent for an
unfurnished apartment or 3 times
maximum the monthly rent for a
furnished apartment.
Q
What is considered
regular wear and
tear for carpets? The
carpet had been in
the unit for five years
prior to the current tenants, but
it was in great condition, now
it is full of stains, can I charge
the full costs since I will need to
replace the carepet?
A
No, you will not be able
to charge the outgoing
residents the full
replacement cost of the carpet.
You may not obtain a windfall. If
the prior residents maintained
the carpet in great condition
that is great for them and you.
If they would have stayed you
might still see some life in that
carpet. Five years is typically the
life, expectancy of carpet. But I
would check with your carpet
vendor and ask them for the
life expectancy of the particular
brand and model of the installed
carpet. If the life expectancy is 5
years, then the usefulness of the
carpet has met its life. You will
not be able to charge the outgoing
residents for the new carpet. If
the life expectancy is 7 years, and
the carpet cannot be cleaned but
must be replaced, you may then
charge the outgoing residents for an additional
2 years of carpet life. That is, you may charge
the outgoing residents 29% of the cost of the
damaged carpet. You had expected to obtain
another 2 years worth of life of the carpet...
The answers to the above questions are
general in nature. Each case has specific facts
that may result in a different answer. Please
consult an attorney if you need specific legal
advice. Todd Brisco is an attorney who handles
landlord tenant matters on behalf of landlords
