San Leandro’s rent-stabilization ordinance changed the landlord math

In February 2026 the City of San Leandro adopted a Residential Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction ordinance (Ordinance 2026-001) that takes effect January 1, 2027 and covers roughly 7,700 rental units inside the city. For many small landlords it meaningfully changes the economics of holding a rental:

• Annual rent increases are capped at the lower of 3% or 65% of CPI on covered units.
• A mandatory rental registry (Chapter 4-45): covered properties must be registered and fees kept current to preserve the right to raise rent and pursue just-cause evictions.
• Just Cause Eviction protections limit the grounds for ending a tenancy.
• Tenant relocation payments may apply for covered no-fault situations.
• A baseline rent date that can affect rents already set.

This is general information; confirm the current requirements with the City of San Leandro or an attorney, since the program is still being implemented. The practical effect for many owners: holding a tenant-occupied San Leandro rental now carries more cost, paperwork, and restriction — which is exactly why a clean, direct sale can make sense.

Selling with tenants in place: what a direct sale means

You do not have to evict your tenants or pay relocation to sell to us. In a direct sale:

• Your tenants stay in place through closing.
• The buyer takes on the existing lease and the landlord obligations at transfer.
• No eviction proceedings and no no-fault relocation payment are required from you.
• The registry, rent-cap, and just-cause compliance going forward become the buyer’s responsibility, not yours.
• Closing runs through a licensed Bay Area title company, which documents the transfer cleanly.
