Improved
Government Relations
If
your association is NOT part of the California Apartment
Association and
the National Apartment Association,
YOU ARE FLYING BLIND!!
Are
you getting good information on changes in Federal, State
and Local law that affect your business? If not, then you
are exposing yourself to needless liability. Every landlord
is responsible for complying with the law, and ignorance
is not a good defense.
While
some "associations" report what others do for
your business as their own work, we actually make a difference
by doing the "heavy lifting" on your behalf.
Government
relations represent one of the core functions of the RHO.
As a result, we are committed to keeping you plugged into
your local government affairs and state issues. We have
developed relationships in every community served by the
RHO. Policy and positions on specific issues are hammered
out in our RHO legislative committees assigned to each community.
We monitor city and county agendas for issues the can affect
your rental housing interests in Southern Alameda County.
Our staff has developed relationships with key city staff
and officials to ensure that your interests are known on
important topics.
Coordinated
efforts with CAA help us navigate the maze of state related
governmental issues. Only the RHO and the NAA and CAA Networks
can provide coordinated coverage to protect your interests
in Southern Alameda County.

Tenant
Screening Services You only get one chance to get it right!
Tenant screening is one of the most important things a landlord will ever do.
Making sure that your prospects can and will pay rent on time, be a good neighbor and take care of the property are the top three attributes EVERY tenant must possess. Making the wrong choice can cost you thousands of dollars in repairs and attorney fees.
Make good decisions!
That's why we offer a complete menu of services designed to help you review the past performance of tenants and likelihood of performance as a future tenant.
We will also provide training and counseling to help ensure that you understand how to effectively use tenant screening reports. You success is our success!
