Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Landlords must provide stove and fridge

Beginning January 1, 2026, for any lease you sign, amend, or extend on or after that date, the landlord must provide a working stove and refrigerator. Each must be safe to use; a recalled unit does not count. You and the landlord may agree at signing that you bring and maintain your own fridge, but the lease must include a checkbox that explains this choice. You can change your mind with 30 days written notice, and the landlord must install a fridge at the end of those 30 days. The landlord cannot make tenancy depend on you providing a fridge and does not have to fix a fridge you own.

Fix recalled stoves and fridges in 30 days

If your stove or fridge is recalled and the landlord gets notice, the landlord must repair or replace it within 30 days. This keeps cooking and food storage safer and working.

Repair rights and energy help remain

This law does not take away your repair remedies under Civil Code Section 1942. You can still use those tools to get fixes. It also does not block tenants or owners from getting utility energy-saving help for heating or hot water systems. Program rules still decide if you qualify and how much help you get.

Some rentals exempt from appliance rules

The stove and fridge rules do not apply to some housing. Exempt units include permanent supportive housing, some single-room occupancy units, residential hotels, and units with shared kitchens, like assisted living. If your unit is exempt, the landlord does not have to provide these appliances.
