Own Rentals Outside Berkeley? Find the Right Affiliate for Local Support

Posted By: BPOA Master Landlord Best Practices,

As a BPOA member, you're already connected to Berkeley's trusted resource for rental housing education, compliance guidance, and advocacy. However, if you also own or manage rental property outside of Berkeley, BPOA’s support does not extend to those areas — and neither does access to tools like Click & Lease.

For those properties, you'll need to join the appropriate local affiliate of the National Apartment Association (NAA). These organizations provide region-specific guidance, legal updates, events, and support services tailored to the cities and counties they serve.

Below are Some active NAA affiliates in California:
