State law 8.8% through Dec 31, 2026. From Jan 1, 2027: the lower of 3% or 65% of CPI, with base rent set at the rent in effect Jul 1, 2025. A 24-hour line, licensed vendors, your approval threshold, and the vendor's invoice with nothing added.
Repairs are where owner money leaks and tenant goodwill is won or lost. We run a 24-hour maintenance line, send licensed and insured vendors, and bill you exactly what the vendor billed us. You set a dollar threshold in the management agreement; below it we fix the problem, above it we call you with a quote. Habitability issues, no heat, no hot water, water coming in, go first, because in the East Bay a habitability complaint is also an eviction defense and in Oakland grounds for a tenant petition to the Rent Adjustment Program.
The full picture for owners is on the San Leandro page; the service on its own is described under maintenance.

Yes, if they are licensed where the law requires it and carry insurance. We will add them to the vendor list for your property and dispatch to them first. If they do not respond within the window a repair needs, we send our vendor and tell you.
The line is answered around the clock. Loss of heat, hot water or water service, an active leak, a lockout, a sewer backup and a safety hazard are dispatched the same day, usually within hours. We tell you by text or email as soon as a vendor is assigned.
The tenant, where the lease and the facts support it. We document the cause with photos and the vendor's report, bill the tenant, and if it is unpaid at move-out it comes from the deposit with an itemized statement. Ordinary wear is the owner's cost under California law and we will tell you when something is wear rather than damage.
