🔗Rent Increases in the East Bay: What Landlords Can (and Cannot) Do in 2026

If you own rental property in the East Bay, raising rent in 2026 involves a lot more than picking a number. In this video, we break down California’s statewide AB 1482 rent cap law — and how Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, and Emeryville each layer their own, often stricter, rules on top of it.
We cover the current allowable increase rates for each city, annual registration requirements, and why notice timing can make or break a compliant rent increase.

This is the first in our March series on Rent Control and Rent Increases in the East Bay. Each post goes deeper on a specific city — with everything you need to stay compliant in 2026.

Rental Ads & Language That Create Liability

🔗Fair Housing Starts Before the Application: Rental Ads & Language That Create Liability

Your rental ad is already legal communication — and your fair housing liability starts the moment you publish it.

Most Bay Area landlords assume fair housing risk begins when applications arrive. It doesn’t. Under Section 804(c) of the Fair Housing Act, the ad itself can be the violation — before a single person applies, before you screen anyone, before you make any decision at all.

In this video, Emery breaks down the specific phrases that create liability, explains why ESA requests are routinely mishandled, and covers why casual comments during showings are the most common source of violations landlords never see coming.

🔗Fair Housing Protected Classes in California: What Landlords Often Miss

One casual question during a property showing cost an Oakland landlord over $15,000.
In this video, we break down California’s 20+ fair housing protected classes — far
beyond the 7 in federal law — and show you exactly where landlords get into trouble.

We cover:
✅ Federal vs. California vs. Bay Area protected classes
✅ The #1 violation: Source of Income (Section 8, SSDI, SSI and more)
✅ Familial status — why “quiet building” language is a red flag
✅ Disability & ESAs — emotional support animals are NOT pets under the law
✅ Immigration status — even casual small talk creates legal exposure
✅ How to build a screening process that actually protects you

Whether you’re a landlord in Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, or anywhere in the
East Bay — this video will help you understand the rules and screen tenants
confidently and consistently.
