Guide to Berkeley's Rent Stabilization Program
Date postedJanuary 1, 2025
The guide is published to help landlords, tenants, property managers, Realtors, and potential rental property owners understand how rent stabilization works in Berkeley. The information in this guide is not a substitute for legal advice. Generally, Berkeley's rent control law governs rent levels, including changes based on factors such as space, services, number of occupants, or a rental unit's condition, as well as security deposit interest and good causes to evict. The local law does not address many other aspects of landlord-tenant relationships.
On our website, go to Landlord Resources for listings of other organizations and resources for help resolving these kinds of problems.
