State law only: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on the units AB 1482 covers. The city's mobilehome rent chapter does not reach houses or condos. An individually owned house or condo is exempt from the state cap only with the statutory exemption notice in the lease. Corporate or LLC-owned homes are capped. Newer condos near BART may qualify for the 15-year new-construction exemption, depending on the certificate-of-occupancy date.
// the rulebook
Pleasanton has no local rent cap outside its mobilehome chapter, so state law applies: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on covered units, and no cap on an individually owned house or condo when the lease carries the AB 1482 exemption notice. The city taxes rentals as a business on gross receipts, in tiers of $25 to $75 and then $0.30 per $1,000 above that. There is no registry and no local just cause; state just cause applies after 12 months, with one month's rent owed on a no-fault termination. At $4,700 for a house, an empty month costs $4,700, about $157 a day, and that is the number we manage against. Tenants come from Hacienda Business Park (Workday, Kaiser, Veeva, Roche, Oracle), the 1970s to 1990s tracts, and the newer HOA condos near BART, each association with its own rules on rentals. We file the exemption notice correctly, clear HOA approvals before move-in, keep the gross-receipts license current, and price to the employers that are actually hiring.
// what owners run into
Hacienda Business Park tenants (Workday, Kaiser, Veeva, Roche, Oracle) move on corporate calendars, not school ones. A $4,700 house priced for a relocation tenant who is not arriving costs about $157 a day while it waits.
The newer condo associations near the station restrict rentals in ways that vary building to building, from tenant registration to rental caps. We read the CC&Rs before the listing, not after an approval is denied.
Pleasanton taxes rentals on gross receipts, $25 to $75 in tiers and then $0.30 per $1,000. It is small money, but a lapsed license is the kind of paperwork gap that surfaces in a dispute.

Not for houses, condos or apartments. The city regulates mobilehome park rents only. State law applies to everything else: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on covered units, and no cap on an individually owned house or condo with the AB 1482 exemption notice in the lease.
We do not have a published Pleasanton figure. We shorten the gap by listing before move-out, running HOA approval and screening at the same time, and pricing from this month's comps rather than last year's lease. Each day saved is about $157.
