Is there rent control in the City of Alameda?
No. The City does have a Rent Review Advisory Committee that reviews and mediates substantial rent increases. The volunteer Committee members (3 landlords, 3 tenants and 1 homeowner) are appointed by the Mayor and City Council to provide a neutral forum. The process starts when a tenant files a Rental Increase Complaint Form. This form can be completed on-line. Please print and mail to the address indicated on the form. If you have problems opening or printing the form, please call 749-5800 to request a Rental Increase Complaint form, or send an E-mail.
