Summary: "The California Landlord's Law Book"
As a landlord of one unit, I find this book to be perfect for my needs. Not only does the book cover all the California laws, rights, and responsibilities of landlords - but it also has a CD that contains all the possible forms you might need to use with tenants. It makes the paper work a breeze, and also suggests ways to select decent tenants.

Summary: "Very Informative- a must have for a first time landlord"
I purchased this book and ended up deciding not to rent out my property. It really gives you insight and information about your responsibilities as a landlord, things you can & can't charge for, lots of legal information etc. It also comes with the forms you will need to DIY. Highly recommended.

Summary: "Well Organized"
Really well written and organized. The book does cover the majority of what you'd want it to, and you can easily find what you're looking for if it's in there.
This book does address the legal issues I was concerned about very well. It's a good refference to have around, but a quick glance at the TOC will let you know if it covers the topic you're worried about right now.
It does not have everything you might expect though. Some forms that it lacks: rental receipts, year end statements, maintenance requests.
This book won't save you from ever having to create some of your own forms again.
