FAQ
Your unit is covered if your building was built before 1983, and there are two or more units in your building, Except if you rent a unit in a single-family home or a inium unit from the owner.
In Oakland, rent control applies for most tenants living in units built before 1983, but excludes almost all of those living in condos and single family homes, regardless of when those units were built.
Understanding Rent Control in the Bay Area If your property was built before a specific date (usually in the 1970s), it likely falls under rent control. In cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, there are strict limits on how much you can increase the rent each year.
If you live in San Francisco, you are usually covered by rent control. The major exceptions are: You live in a rental unit with a certificate of occupancy after June 13, 1979, with a few exceptions. This “new construction exemption” is the biggest exemption in San Francisco.
Fully owner-occupied units, including single family homes. Hospitals, skilled nursing, or health facilities. Non-profits or substance abuse recovery facilities. Non-profits to support the homelessness.
Specifically, HOAs can't enforce rental caps that limit rentals to less than 25% of the units, nor can they impose upfront fees to lease a property. By limiting rental caps, AB 3182 aims to increase the availability of rental housing in California.
An HOA has the authority to enforce the rules and regulations of the community using the community rules, or “bylaws and covenants.” These rules are considered “agreed upon” since homeowners approve them through board-elected representatives.
This restriction is less common but may be implemented in communities that value owner-occupancy. In California, however, Civil Code Section 4741 does not allow HOAs to prohibit or unreasonably restrict owners from renting out their homes.
What are unenforceable HOA rules? Keep you out of court. Hush up litigation. Discriminate indiscriminately. Enter your home without cause or notice. String you out on the (clothes)line. Fine you for fun. Change rules on the fly. Demand you take down your dish.
