How this works in Pleasanton

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.

Cap
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.
Just cause
State just cause only, after 12 months of tenancy. No city ordinance.
Fees and filings
City business license on gross receipts: $25 to $75 tiers, then $0.30 per $1,000. No registry and no rent-program fee.

Maintenance in Pleasanton: questions owners ask

Is there rent control in Pleasanton?

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.

How long does a $4,700 house sit empty between tenants?

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.

Can I use my own handyman or plumber?

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.

How fast do you respond to an emergency?

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.

Who pays for a repair the tenant caused?

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.
