No income tax is due from non-residents of California on retirement income sourced in California since Federal Law prohibits states from taxing such income.

NO, you correct that the federal law prohibits ANY state form taxing pension income of non-residents, even if the pension was earned in the state.

Before the Source Tax Law that took effect on January 10, 1996, California was one of the states that had maintained a source tax on pension earned in the state.

Can California tax your pers retirement income if you are a non-resident but have California rental income?

You do Not enter your pension income on a California nonresident tax return. If the rental income is your only CA sourced income then that is what you report on the CA nonresident tax return.
