Rental calculators and checklists for California owners and renters
Work out a legal rent increase, a deposit limit, a notice date or a rental's cash flow in a minute. Every tool states the rule it applies, cites the statute and is dated, and none of them collect your information.
California Rent Increase Calculator
The most you can raise rent under California's rent cap in San Diego County, whether your home is exempt, and how much notice to give.
California Security Deposit Calculator
The most you can collect at move-in under California's one-month deposit cap, the small-landlord exception, and what counts toward the limit.
California Notice Period Calculator
Dates for 3-day notices (counting only court days), 30 or 60 day termination notices, 30 or 90 day rent increases, and entry notices.
Security Deposit Return Deadline Calculator
The 21-day deadline to return a California security deposit, plus the receipts, photos and electronic-refund rules that apply in 2026.
Can I Rent It This Way? Rental Length Rule Checker
Pick the city, what you are renting and for how long, and see whether city short-term rules, state ADU law and HOA limits allow it.
Home Sale Exclusion Timeline: Renting Before You Sell
If you move out and rent your home, see roughly when the IRS 2-of-5-year use test window closes, including the up-to-10-year military suspension.
Rental Property Cash Flow Calculator
Add up rent, vacancy, mortgage, tax, insurance, HOA dues, management and reserves to see what a rental would actually leave you each month.
Move-In and Move-Out Inspection Checklist
A printable room-by-room checklist built around California's move-in and move-out photo rules, so deposit deductions hold up.
Reviewed by Brendan McKee, Managing Broker (DRE #01882732), on October 20, 2026. These tools apply California law as of October 19, 2026, and local rules only where a tool says so. They are general information, not legal or tax advice. For the rules themselves, see the California landlord law library; for Coronado specifics, the Coronado Rental Guide.
