We’re proud to announce the official release of the Alameda County Housing Provider Resource Center (ACHPRC) Rental Housing Provider Handbook, a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide designed specifically for rental property owners in unincorporated Alameda County.

This handbook offers clear, practical guidance on key aspects of property management, including:

  • Rental agreements and legal notices

  • Habitability standards and maintenance

  • Security deposits and rent increases

  • Tenant complaints and conflict resolution

  • Common challenges like hoarding, nuisances, and inspections

Whether you’re an experienced housing provider or just starting out, this handbook is designed to help you stay compliant, protect your investment, and foster more stable, respectful rental relationships.

We extend our sincere thanks to Krista Gilbransen, whose leadership and expertise were instrumental in compiling this comprehensive guide. Her thoughtful work reflects the real challenges faced by local housing providers and brings together best practices with plain-language clarity.

At ACHPRC, our mission is to educate, support, and connect rental property owners with the tools and resources they need to succeed. This handbook is a key part of that commitment.
