East Bay Rental Housing Association (EBRHA) Information

Founded in 1939, the East Bay Rental Housing Association (EBRHA) is a full-service nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fair, safe and well-maintained residential rental housing that is compliant with local ordinances and state/federal laws. We offer our rental property owner and manager members city-specific and timely education, one-on-one property management advice, free rental forms, networking opportunities, and advocacy at the state and local level. EBRHA supports our members, neighbors and local businesses with community improvement and sustainability initiatives. Our 1,500+ members own and manage over 20,000 rental units—including apartments, condominiums, duplexes and single-family homes—in over 25 cities throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties. They range in size from small investors with just one property to large property management companies that own or manage hundreds of units. In addition, EBRHA has over 100 vendor members to help serve your needs, including attorneys, plumbers, painters and other service providers in more than 60 business classifications. EBRHA is an affiliate of the National Apartment Association (NAA), America’s leading advocate for quality rental housing, and CalRHA, California’s largest group of rental property owners associations. NAA’s mission is to serve the interests of multifamily housing owners, managers, developers and suppliers and maintain a high level of professionalism in the multifamily housing industry to better serve the rental housing needs of the public. CalRHA provides timely grassroots mobilization for the purpose of advocating at the state level and contributing to change in the multifamily housing industry.
