FHA in CA prevents a lot of "Do this or I evict you" actions by housing providers. For instance: You cannot evict a tenant if they choose not to have renters' insurance (one my old apartment complex tried to use).

Usually rental agreements are "common sense" rules that most anyone would not disagree with. Some examples would be:

- No disorderly or violent behavior on the property.
- No public drunkenness.
- No drug use on the property.
- Respectful use of communal areas.

Etc.

What has necessitated the need for a rental agreement? Keep in mind the legalities... A person has more rights living in one of your properties than you do as the owner of said property... In CA.
