Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board

The Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board is a local government body in Berkeley, California, that oversees rent control regulations to protect tenants from excessive rent increases and unfair eviction practices. Its main goals are to ensure stable housing for residents and to maintain affordable rents in the community. The Board handles disputes between landlords and tenants, enforces rent control laws, and helps educate the public on their rights and responsibilities regarding rental housing. This is part of Berkeley's broader efforts to address housing affordability and prevent homelessness.
