Businesses that charge a fee in advance to provide rental property listings must get a surety bond as part of their licensing and compliance obligations.

How the Prepaid Rental Listing Service Bond Works
The California surety bond involves three parties:
- Principal: Prepaid rental listing service business (you)
- Obligee: California Department of Real Estate
- Surety: Bonding company
If a consumer files a valid claim due to misconduct, such as providing false listings or failing to deliver promised services, the surety may compensate the affected party. You are then responsible for reimbursing the surety for any paid claims.
