Landlords must register all rental units with the Rent Program (see Section 6-58.55, Alameda Municipal Code). By now, all rental units should have been registered. If you have an unregistered property, please contact the Rent Program immediately.
The 2024-2025 annual program fee is now due. If the fee is not paid before September 1, 2024, a 10% late penalty will be applied with an additional 10% to be added each successive month until a maximum penalty of 60% has been reached. If you have unpaid fees, please log in to your Rent Registry account to pay by credit card or e-check, or contact the Rent Program.

Landlords of units subject to rent control are required to register new tenancies within 30 days of the start date. Landlords may log in to their registry accounts to report a new tenancy or to report a rent increase. See the user guide for more information.
Beginning this year, before payment of the annual fee is due, landlords of registered fully regulated properties are required to review, verify, and submit annual registration in the Rent Registry. Landlords will also have an opportunity to apply for any new exemptions from the annual fee, and certify that vacant units will remain vacant. Notices are mailed to all landlords when this period begins. Landlords will also receive a mailed invoice with the amount owed based on current information in the registry.
