Responding to claims of large rent increases in Alameda, the City Council recently adopted a stronger mediation program to review rises in rent.
A group of local rental property owners and renters spent many hours working with the city of Alameda to develop a program aimed at balancing the needs associated with managing rental property with the needs of renters.
Despite this collaboration and agreement, the calls for rent control in Alameda continue to grow. CAA remains strongly opposed to rent control and is working with local owners, community leaders, and the city to prevent this policy from being introduced in Alameda.
It’s critical that Alameda rental owners comply with the recently changed Alameda Rent Review Ordinance and abide by a series of good management practices to help build greater communication with residents and compliance with local laws.
CAA has created this brochure to help owners understand what’s at stake, to help them comply with the ordinance, and prevent rent control from coming to Alameda.
