East Bay Property Management
Trusted East Bay Property Management Since 2005
We are a licensed East Bay property management brokerage — not a franchise, not a call center. Since 2005, we’ve managed 600+ rental units across Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and the greater East Bay for owners who want expert compliance management, reliable leasing, and a team that actually picks up the phone.
One thing we hear consistently from owners who come to us after managing elsewhere: the East Bay’s layered rent control and just cause eviction rules aren’t something you want to navigate alone. We deal with AB 1482 exemptions, Oakland’s Just Cause ordinance, Berkeley’s Rent Stabilization Program, and Alameda County eviction timelines every week. That operational depth is what we offer.

📹 This Week’s Landlord Briefing — July 2026
California’s wildfire non-renewal moratorium has expired and the FAIR Plan is raising rates 29.1% this October. This video breaks down what changed, the satellite-driven cure notices we’re seeing across our own portfolio, and what East Bay rental property owners should do before their next renewal.

Full-Service Property Management in the East Bay
Most East Bay landlords don’t lose money on bad tenants — they lose it on paperwork. A missed pre-move-out inspection voids your right to dispute deductions. A 3-day notice with the wrong date gets a case dismissed. An unacknowledged repair request becomes a documented habitability complaint. We’ve been managing these compliance details across Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville since 2005 — and we’ve been navigating rules like Oakland’s Just Cause Ordinance and Berkeley’s Rent Stabilization Program since before most of them existed. The owners who come to us after trying it alone usually say the same thing: they didn’t know what they didn’t know.

- Leasing & Tenant Screening — Verified income, credit, rental history, and fair housing compliant screening for every applicant
- Maintenance Coordination — Timestamped work orders and documented responses protect your position in any dispute
- Monthly Financial Reporting — Itemized owner statements via AppFolio, direct deposit, and year-end reporting
- Risk Mitigation — Professional screening, compliance and lease enforcement reduce your liability
East Bay Property Management — City by City
Oakland’s RAP registration alone has cost self-managing landlords their right to collect rent increases they were legally entitled to — because they missed the annual filing. Berkeley’s Rent Stabilization Program operates on a different calendar entirely. Emeryville’s just cause protections apply to units that AB 1482 doesn’t cover. These aren’t edge cases — they’re the baseline in every city we operate in, every week.
We currently manage properties across Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Richmond, Albany, and El Cerrito. Each market has its own ordinances, filing deadlines, and allowable increase schedules. We track all of them.
We also manage properties in Alameda, Pinole, Hercules, San Pablo, and El Sobrante. Contact us to discuss your property’s specific city ordinances and whether local rent control applies.
