Help Renters and Landlords Understand Rent Control, Rental Review and Rental Business Tax in Communities of the East Bay
Rent control is a system of laws, administered by a court or
a public authority, which aim to ensure the quality and affordability
of housing and tenancies on the rental market for land.
For a list of city regulations please click here
2019 Governor Newsom signed into law several bills that directly impact rental housing: New Statewide Rental Housing Laws
AB 1482 establishes statewide rent control and just-cause eviction requirements for all rental properties with the exception of single family homes and condominiums not owned by a corporation.
SB 329 prevents landlords from refusing to rent to tenants who have a Section 8 housing voucher.
AB 1110 requires landlords to give tenants a 90-day notice if their rent will be increased more than 10% during a 12-month period.
SB 644 creates a new cap on the security deposits and other protections for active-duty members of the armed forces.
Locally The 2 areas I covered here are:
