Local Rules to Know (We’ll Guide You)
Santa Clara County cities—especially San José—have renter protections you should know. We help you follow them and plan renewals with care.
- San José Apartment Rent Ordinance (ARO): Many rent-stabilized apartments are limited to one 5% increase every 12 months. Learn more on the city site: San José ARO overview.
- California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act): Most covered homes are capped at 5% + CPI (max 10%) per year and have “just cause” rules. Read the state guide: California OAG: Tenant Protection Act.
- Verify licenses anytime: You can confirm any California real estate license on the state lookup: DRE License Check.
Note: Laws change. We keep owners updated and will point you to the right page if rules shift for your property type or city.
Why Owners Pick a Local, Hands-On Team
- Speed: Same-day updates on showings, apps, and repairs. Emergencies are 24/7.
- Clarity: You always know rent status, expenses, and next steps.
- Protection: Documented condition, fair-housing aware marketing, and careful vendor work.
- Performance mindset: Smart pricing and renewals help cut vacancy and turnover costs.
Examples You Can Picture
Sunnyvale single-family: You want steady rent and long-term tenants. We price to today’s market, list with pro photos, and screen for fit. We plan a soft renewal at month 10 and watch notice periods so you’re never surprised.
San José duplex: One side is vacant. We sequence touch-ups, set rent to match demand, and fill fast. The occupied side gets a mid-lease check and a clear maintenance plan so renewals go smoothly.
Palo Alto condo: HOA rules are tight. We log every rule up front, set tenant expectations, and keep communication simple so you stay compliant and stress-free.
