Working with the San Francisco Rent Board Reduces Your Risk

Your property management team at Gordon Property Management works closely with the San Francisco Rent Board and we follow the local and state legislation carefully to ensure you’re both protected and profitable.

The Rent Board takes a lot of the guesswork out of your rental increases by sharing exactly the amount you can raise your rent from year to year. They provide a lot of other valuable resources as well, helping us to help you maintain a compliant and comfortable home for your tenants.

With help from the Rent Board, we’re able to reduce your liability and risk by understanding how much you can raise the rent, what the interest is on the security deposits we’ve collected for your property, and how additional requirements and referendums impact the management of your property.

Managing Your Rental Increases to Maximize Profitability

Rent control doesn’t mean you can’t increase your rent at all.

The San Francisco Rent Board sets the amount that you can raise your rents every year, and it doesn’t go any higher than seven percent per year.

You can petition to raise it more if you can document that there are increased operating expenses which make the increase necessary. You might also own a property that’s exempt from this law – however it would also have to be exempt from the statewide rent control law as well.

At Gordon Property Management, we will analyze the market, take a close look at your competitors, and make a recommendation for how much you should raise the rent at least renewal time. We typically negotiate successfully with your tenants, and our retention rates are high.

We can help you when you’re not sure how to manage rent control with your own San Francisco investment. If you’re not already working with us, get in touch and we can tell you:

Whether your property is covered by local or state rent control
How to establish the fair rental value for your home
How much of a rental increase is permitted by the Rent Board
What you can do to increase the value of your property

These folks are as good as property managers get! Responsive, personable, and professional. They are constantly keeping in touch with the rental market and, most importantly, up-to-date on ever changing laws regarding rentals (state and local). Having managed my own properties (up to 37 units) and then using another property management company, I am very lucky to now have a long time relationship with Gordon Property Management. I can sleep at night knowing GPM is taking care of my tenants, my property, and me!
