Who Needs a Prepaid Rental Listing Service Bond? 

Under Section 10167.7 of the Business and Professions Code, any prepaid rental listing service in California must file a $10,000 surety bond per location with the Bureau of Real Estate. 

A PRLS includes any business that connects potential tenants with rentable residential properties for profit. 

How Does a California Prepaid Rental Listing Service Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, this type of bond creates a legal contract binding three parties: 

  1. Principal: The corporation filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The California Bureau of Real Estate requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

As the principal, you are financially responsible for conducting business according to state code. Any breaches of this contract may result in claims, which you are responsible for reimbursing.
