Does Castro Valley Have Rent Control?
Castro Valley is an
unincorporated community of Alameda County, so it has
no local rent-control ordinance of its own. Instead, rentals are governed by
California's statewide AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act) and applicable Alameda County rules:
- Annual rent increases are capped at 5% plus CPI, or 10% — whichever is lower (for covered units)
- Just-cause eviction protections apply to tenants of 12+ months.
- Security-deposit and notice rules under state law still apply
- A mandatory Rental Registry (Ch. 4-45) — register by July 31 each year or lose the right to raise rent or evic
Even without a city ordinance, an over-limit increase or an improper notice can cost thousands. ETRO Group tracks every AB 1482 requirement and handles compliance on your behalf.
