Transparent Pricing
How Much Does Property Management Cost in Hayward?
Most Hayward managers charge 8–12% of collected rent monthly, a tenant-placement fee of 50–100% of one month's rent, and a lease-renewal fee around $200. ETRO Group uses a tiered model and an exclusive Loyalty Program for reduced rates — so you only pay for the service level you need.
Do Hayward Landlords Have to Follow Rent Control?
Yes — and this is where local expertise matters most. Hayward's Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RRSO) caps annual rent increases and requires an annual rent review fee. On top of that, California's AB 1482 rent cap, just-cause eviction rules, and security-deposit limits all apply. A single misstep can cost thousands. ETRO Group tracks every requirement and handles compliance on your behalf — so your Hayward rental stays protected.
