Touring the BPOA Website -- Part Three: Examining Resources

We delved into the Member Compass™ and the Content Library in our previous issues. This time, we’ll take a closer look at the Resources tab, its functions, and the content that can be found in the drop-down menu. Explore this feature to discover how it can enhance your membership experience.

To fully utilize the features of the Resources tab, hover your cursor over it to reveal the drop-down menu. Each item serves a specific function; let’s explore them one-by-one to see how they can benefit you.

Resident Application & Screening: Click this menu item to access information about Intellirent, BPOA’s partner application and screening product. From this page, you can “click to launch” into your Intellirent account, watch a playback webinar, download the BPOA-specific Member Toolkit, and read FAQs.

Renters Insurance: Here you’ll find information about Toggle®, a division of Farmers Insurance Group, offering customizable renters insurance policies at affordable rates. There are two versions of their flier, each containing a QR code, which, when scanned, will take them to the Toggle website where they can get a no-obligation quote, or purchase a policy. Promote lease compliance – print our fliers to hand out at your showings or copy & paste the flier link in your email communications with prospective renters.

Industry Partner Directory: If you’re in the market for business services, hit this menu item where you’ll find a list of our associate members. Click on any listing, and voila! Their profile unfolds, revealing everything from their address and phone number to website links and social media accounts they’ve chosen to share.

Rent Registry: This menu item takes you out of the BPOA website and over to the City’s Online Rent Registry. Nearly all Berkeley rental properties are required to register with the Rent Board with a few exemptions. If you’re uncertain about whether you’re required to register, read about Measure MM and Rental Unit Registration on the City Laws & Ordinances page.

City Laws & Ordinances: Your go-to resource for laws, ordinances, and departmental guidelines governing rental housing. Plus, easy access to key California Civil codes for rental housing. It's all here, at your fingertips!

Rental Housing Q&A: E-commerce stores aren’t the only websites with FAQs! This is where we post the answers to our members’ most commonly asked questions.

Eviction Moratorium: The Moratorium officially ended on September 1, 2023. Yet to be retired, this page will eventually be replaced by another topic relevant to our membership.
