California Real Estate Law presents a comprehensive overview of the laws that affect real estate transactions and the real estate profession in California. It serves as a textbook for community college and continuing education courses, and it's also a useful reference book for anyone interested in real estate. The first two chapters provide an introduction to law, the legal system, and the dispute resolution process. These are followed by chapters addressing specific subjects such as agency law, transfer of title, the rights and duties of landowners, fair housing, and landlord-tenant law. The book is written in a clear, straightforward style. There are examples and exercises based on actual court cases, sidebars that present interesting information about legal issues and related topics, and a variety of study aids, including outlines, summaries, terminology sections, chapter quizzes with answers and explanations, and a glossary of real estate terms.
