State law only: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on the units AB 1482 covers. 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. With rents falling, the cap is rarely the binding number here anyway.
// the rulebook
Livermore has no local rent cap, no registry and no local just-cause ordinance, so state law alone governs: 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. Whether the city requires a business license for a single rental house is something we confirm with the city at onboarding. The market is softer than the rest of the Tri-Valley: a house rents for $3,600 and apartments are down 10% year over year, so a listing priced from last year's lease will sit. Tenants come from Lawrence Livermore and Sandia, the 1960s to 1990s tracts, and the wine-country edge on the south side. Vacancy on a $3,600 house runs $120 a day, which is the number to manage against when rents are falling. We write the exemption notice, price from this month's comps rather than last year's, screen to the lab and employer base, and keep the house leased through a soft stretch.
// what owners run into
Apartments are down 10% year over year and a house rents for $3,600. An owner who lists at the 2025 rent in a falling market trades a few hundred dollars a month for weeks of vacancy at $120 a day.
Lawrence Livermore and Sandia supply much of the renter demand, and 71% of homes are owner-occupied, so the pool is narrower than Dublin's. Screening and pricing have to match the people who are actually moving here.
Much of the stock is 1960s to 1990s tract housing. Deferred paint, flooring and fixtures show in photos and cost days on market, and at $3,600 a month every week empty is about $840.

No. Livermore has no cap, registry or local just cause. State law applies: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on covered units, and no cap on an individually owned house or condo if the lease carries the AB 1482 exemption notice.
We do not have a published Livermore figure, and with apartments down 10% year over year the honest answer is longer than it was. We price from this month's comps, list before move-out, and get the repairs done before photos. At $3,600 a month, each day saved is about $120.
We have not verified Livermore's requirement for a single rental house, so we confirm it with the city at onboarding and file whatever applies. There is no registry and no rent-program fee.
Typical East Bay management runs 6 to 10% of collected rent plus a leasing fee of half to one month's rent. Our full schedule is on the fees page.
