Every written lease or other document establishing a tenancy within the City of San Diego shall include the following notice in 12-point font or larger:

Use of this rental property as a family daycare home is protected by state law in California Health and Safety Code sections 1597.30 – 1597.622. A family daycare home is where the daycare provider lives and provides care, protection, and supervision for 14 or fewer children for periods of less than 24 hours per day while the parents or guardians are away. The property owner or manager may not refuse to rent, or refuse to allow you to use, the rental property as a family daycare home. You may be required to provide notice to the property owner or manager that you operate or plan to operate a family daycare home. The property owner or manager may require an increased security deposit. If you believe your rights under this state law have been denied, you may file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department.
