Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Why do I need a state issued ID to rent an apartment when I have provided them with my Passport? I am returning to the US from overseas and won't have a US address until I rent the apartment, so how can I get a state ID?

There is no legal requirement that you have a state ID. This is a requirement that your proposed landlord is making on their own. You do not have to have a physical address to get a state ID, however. You can just get a UPS Store mail box, or a USPS PO Box. Anywhere to receive mail will do.
