Transparent Pricing
How Much Does Property Management Cost in
San Jose?
Most San Jose 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.
Does San Jose Have Rent Control?
Yes — San Jose is one of the few Bay Area cities with its own rent control, and two ordinances apply on top of state law:
- Apartment Rent Ordinance (ARO): caps annual increases at 5% for apartments in buildings of 3+ units first rented before September 7, 1979 (~38,000 units citywide)
- Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO): requires just cause for eviction in 3+ unit buildings (13 specified reasons)
- Units not covered by the ARO fall under California's AB 1482 (5% + CPI, max 10%; just cause after 12 months)
The ARO excludes single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes, and post-1979 units — knowing exactly which rules apply to your property is critical. ETRO Group tracks it all on your behalf.
