Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

No, each state has its own set of laws that govern landlord-tenant relationships. There is no uniform code for these matters.

Not only are each state's laws different, there are local ordinances within each state that may be different from the state-wide law.

Each State has its own laws. In addition, there are federal laws that apply to rental housing (e.g. non-discrimination based on race). But for the overwhelming majority of matters, it is State law that applies in this context.

There is probably more similarity if you are concerned about interpretation of a written lease, as the principles of contract law are pretty well accepted, but even that is a very broad, and unreliable, generalization.
