Our experience has been very positive. Jason and his staff are responsive to issues and concerns, communicate regularly with me, as the property owner, and send monthly and year end reports that make tax time less stressful!
In recent years I’ve moved away from the Bay Area so having the daily assistance of All East Bay Properties to monitor and manage my real estate assets has made a huge difference!!
They didn’t give me any discounts on my rent (although they probably should) so this is from the heart.
Very quick and efficient service whenever something’s broken/leaking etc. No 3 week period, no pointing fingers – just get it done.
Specific shoutout to Gabriel who was doing some repairs at our place and did an amazing job!
With that said, I wanted to take the time to recognize and express gratitude to Brian, who took time to respond (in detail) to my inquiry about one of their properties that was fraudulently posted on Craigslist. I appreciated the time he took to explain things which definitively confirmed my initial suspicions. Additionally, when I was having trouble connecting with a live person each time I called the office number, he was quick to provide me with a contact number for an agent (CiCi) who was responsible for the property I was trying to see (even though it was not his area). He showed great professionalism and attention to detail, and for that, I am grateful.
I was glad to see how responsive CiCi was when I reached out, given how challenging it had been to get a hold of someone. On top of that, she was quick to get me in for a timely viewing. I found her to be very helpful, friendly and also very knowledgeable. I really appreciated the time and attention she provided me.
Overall, my experience with All East Bay Properties was a positive one given the assistance that I received from these two individuals.
Over the years, Jason has gone above and beyond—for example, setting up the AppFolio Owner Portal at no cost to owners. I have been so impressed with his professionalism and management skills that my extended family members now also rely on him to manage their properties.
I highly and wholeheartedly recommend All East Bay Properties to anyone seeking a reliable, responsive, and trustworthy property management company.

Of course nothing is free, but the cost is fair and at my age I’ve learned that free time and peace of mind are worth paying a fair price for.
Jason and his staff have also helped me navigate through some of Oaklands somewhat confusing regulations when they arise.
I really appreciate Jason and his Staff for simplifying my life and helping me enjoy my retirement.

- The Real Cost of Non-Compliance: What Bay Area Landlords Risk in 2026Many California landlords assume compliance issues only become expensive when something “goes wrong.” In reality, some of the most costly mistakes happen quietly—through outdated procedures, invalid notices, or technical missteps that invalidate otherwise reasonable actions.In the Bay Area, rental laws are enforced strictly, and intent doesn’t matter nearly as much as execution. A Berkeley landlord owing $344 in registration fees can face $1,720 in penalties within 18 months simply by missing the July 1 deadline. Oakland landlords who weren’t tracking ordinance changes permanently lost banked rent increases on January 1, 2026—potentially $30,000-36,000 per year for a 10-unit building. And statewide, a simple calculation error under AB 1482 can trigger treble damages, turning a $1,440 overcharge into $10,000-20,000+ in total exposure.The surprising reality: penalties don’t require bad behavior or tenant harm. Invalid notices are treated as if they never existed. Missing deadlines triggers penalties that double every six months. And collecting rent slightly above the allowable cap creates escalating legal exposure.This article breaks down the real cost of non-compliance in 2026 and explains why staying current with laws, leases, and procedures isn’t about overreacting—it’s about protecting your income, your time, and your peace of mind.
- Do Your Lease Agreements Still Comply with 2026 California Rental Laws?Outdated lease language is one of the most common hidden compliance risks for Bay Area landlords. Laws change frequently in California, and local ordinances in Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville layer additional requirements on top of state rules. A lease that was perfectly compliant just a few years ago may now conflict with updated rent control caps, security deposit limits, or just-cause eviction requirements. Many landlords don’t discover these problems until a notice is challenged or a dispute escalates. In 2026, relying on an old lease template can quietly put you out of compliance. Learn which outdated clauses we see most often, when leases must be updated, and how professional property managers keep rental agreements current with evolving California and local rental laws.
- 2026 California Property Management Law ChangesCalifornia rental laws continue to evolve in 2026, with stricter Bay Area regulations adding complexity for landlords. From updated rent caps and notice requirements to Oakland’s registration mandates and Berkeley’s relocation assistance adjustments, compliance mistakes can cost thousands. This guide breaks down statewide changes, city-specific requirements for Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville, and includes a compliance checklist to help property owners start the year right. Whether you self-manage or work with professionals, understanding these rules is essential to protecting your rental investment.
- Christmas Tree Safety for East Bay Rentals | Fire PreventionThinking about putting up a real Christmas tree in your East Bay rental this holiday season? Before you start decorating, make sure your tree is safe and lease-friendly! From fire safety tips and proper watering to light placement and end-of-season disposal, our guide helps tenants and landlords enjoy the holidays without any hazards.
- Can Landlords Ban Holiday Lights in California?Dreaming of decking your balcony with festive lights this holiday season? If you’re renting in California, you might want to check your lease first. Unlike some tenant protections, California law doesn’t guarantee renters the right to hang holiday decorations on balconies or building exteriors—meaning your landlord can legally say “no” if it’s written in your rental agreement. But don’t let that dampen your holiday spirit! Understanding why landlords restrict decorations (safety codes, structural concerns, HOA rules, and liability) can help you navigate the conversation. Many landlords will work with responsible tenants who propose damage-free installation methods and follow electrical safety standards. In this guide, we break down California’s balcony decoration laws, fire safety requirements, HOA restrictions, and give you practical tips for spreading holiday cheer while respecting your lease. Whether you’re hanging twinkling lights or a simple wreath, learn how to stay legal, safe, and festive this season.

- Thanksgiving Guest Rules for Oakland RentalsPop quiz, East Bay renters: What’s scarier than burnt turkey? Getting a lease violation notice the week after Thanksgiving because Aunt Carol stayed too long in your Berkeley apartment. Overnight family stayovers are a top trigger for landlord complaints in Oakland and Emeryville rentals, often resulting in violations for noise, overcrowding, or unauthorized occupants. Most rental agreements in the East Bay specifically limit guest stays to 7-14 consecutive days—and exceeding these limits can put your lease at risk. All East Bay Properties shares essential guest policy rules every Oakland renter needs to know, plus expert scripts for getting landlord approval and damage prevention strategies that protect your security deposit. Whether you’re a tenant navigating holiday hosting or a landlord managing guest policies, we’re here to help.
- How to Cook Turkey in an ApartmentSearching for how to cook turkey in apartment kitchens this Thanksgiving? Before you consider deep-frying, you need to know this: it’s banned in most California rental properties due to serious fire hazards. California fire codes restrict open-flame cooking devices in multi-family housing, and violating these rules could result in fines, lease violations, or even eviction. But don’t panic—your holiday feast can still be amazing! This comprehensive guide shows California apartment renters exactly how to cook turkey in apartment ovens safely and deliciously. We cover everything from fire safety regulations and lease restrictions to four proven methods for roasting perfect turkey in small kitchens. Whether you have a tiny NYC-style oven or a standard apartment range, you’ll discover oven-roasted techniques, electric roaster options, and space-saving alternatives like bone-in turkey breast. Plus, learn your rights as a California tenant and what to do if you receive fire safety violation notices. Cook a memorable Thanksgiving dinner without risking your security deposit or your neighbors’ safety!
- California Landlord Entry LawsSince 1975, California landlord entry laws under Civil Code §1954 have protected tenant privacy by requiring 24-hour written notice before entry—except for true emergencies. But as one tenant discovered when her landlord walked in unannounced during a Zoom call, knowing your rights is crucial. This comprehensive guide explores the evolution of California’s entry laws, breaks down when the 24-hour rule doesn’t apply, examines real court cases like the landmark Dromy v. Lukovsky decision, and tackles modern complications like smart locks and Ring doorbells. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner or just want to understand your privacy rights, we’ve got you covered.
