FIND OUT NOW
Major legal changes are coming that could impact your rental properties. Are you ready?
The 2025 legislative session is bringing new laws that could make evictions harder, limit rent increases, restrict tenant screening, and regula
At Ironclad Property Management, we help landlords stay ahead of these changes to protect their investments and maximize returns. Here's what’s coming and how to prepare.
Eviction Laws Are Changing
No-Fault Evictions – New restrictions could make removing tenants more difficult, even when leases end.
Just Cause Protections – Proposals to require landlords to prove a valid reason for eviction, adding legal hurdles.
- Payment System Protection – If a landlord’s online system fails, evictions for nonpayment may be prohibited.
What this means for you: Evictions may take longer and become more expensive. Make sure your lease agreements are airtight and document all tenant interactions to protect yourself.
Squatters & Unauthorized Occupants
Faster Removal Process – New laws aim to allow police to remove squatters without court proceedings.
Stronger Legal Definitions – Legislators are clarifying the difference between squatters and unauthorized tenants.
What this means for you: These laws may help you regain control of your property faster, but staying compliant is key. Ensure your leases outline clear terms for unauthorized occupants.
Tenant Screening Restrictions
Criminal History Checks – Some proposals allow landlords to review records, while others aim to restrict access after a set period.
Sealing of Eviction Records – Certain eviction records could be hidden from landlord review.
What this means for you: You may face new challenges in screening tenants. Avoid high-risk renters by working with a property management team that uses legal but effective screening methods.
Rent Control & Fair Rent Commissions
Annual Rent Increase Caps – Lawmakers are considering restrictions on how much landlords can raise rent per year.
Fair Rent Oversight – Every municipality may be required to have a commission regulating rental rates.
What this means for you: Your ability to adjust rent based on market conditions may be limited. Plan long-term pricing strategies now to avoid financial strain later.
Short-Term Rental Restrictions
New Tax & Registration Requirements – Proposed laws would require all short-term rentals to be registered and taxed.
Stricter Safety Regulations – Short-term rental owners may be required to meet new compliance standards.
What this means for you: If you own short-term rentals, these laws could impact profitability. Consider whether long-term leasing may be a better strategy in the coming years.
What You Should Do Now
Review and update your lease agreements to ensure compliance.
Implement stricter tenant screening processes.
Have a plan in place for evictions under new laws.
Evaluate your rental pricing strategy in case of rent control measures.
If you own short-term rentals, determine if they will remain profitable under new regulations. The best way to protect yourself is to stay ahead of the curve.
