The Rent Program has published its Annual Report with data for the 2024 calendar year.
The report details a year of increased public engagement, expanded enforcement of the Rent Ordinance, and key policy initiatives as the Rent Program completed its second full year as a division of the City Attorney’s Office. The annual report details Rent Program activities during 2024 and presents data on cases, submissions, registration, and Alameda’s rental market.
In 2024 the Rent Program successfully launched its first drive to collect annual registration statements for all fully regulated rental units in the city. As of January 1, 2025, the Rent Program had received registration for more than 80% of properties and fee payments for 86% of properties.
Under the Rent Ordinance, Landlords who have not submitted an annual registration statement or paid program fees are not eligible to increase rent for any unit on the property in question. Program staff continues to work with landlords to help them come into compliance. In the first quarter of 2025, landlords registered an additional 70 properties and paid more than $130,000 in outstanding fees. Landlords or tenants with questions about a property’s status may contact program staff at 510-747-7520 or rentprogram@alamedaca.gov.
