Leasing in Oakland, California, creates havoc for inexperienced owners. Oakland has. "Just Cause" rental ordinance to protect tenants against unlawful evictions. I get calls weekly from owners discussing this subject matter. Leasing in Oakland is all about procedures, being patient, and making sure you updated on the new forms for rental housing. It is not rocket science at all. Let's start backward and work our way forward to help you. Everything we discuss in this series would be about walking back to come forward. Rent Adjustment Program is run and created by Oakland City Government. You should familiarize yourself with this form as it will be your bible of sorts for the rental business. There are three variations of this form in English, Chinese and Spanish. Your tenants' new(New Move-ins) should always get this notice, and you should have them sign it. What if you have current tenants that have never signed the RAP Notice? Use common sense, explain the importance of knowing their rights, and inform people. Tell your property management company to do their job and ask your property manager if they have the updated forms in use or not. The goal is not evicting people; the goal is compliance, a safe place to live, and providing tenants' professional services. A smart property management firm will handle this for you with ease. It advises tenants of their rights. It is similar to a person's Miranda Rights.

I recently ran into a new wave of squatters. If you don’t know what squatters are, please refer to a past article I wrote titled “ How to Evict Squatters .” I was hired to sell a house on 64th Avenue, in Oakland, and to my surprise I was successful evicting the squatters. However, I say that with much hesitation—here’s why! On the day of the eviction, instead of finding only a few squatters, my team encountered some new variables. Instead of one group of squatters, we encountered 9 people consisting of 2 separate groups and 8 pit bulls at the residence.
Recently, we did an eviction in Oakland dealing with squatters, on the day of the eviction, most inexperienced people are unprepared to deal with the uncontrolled variables of stressful evictions. First of the all, the mindset is that you might feel sorry for evicting someone. I don’t know why especially if your property is not making you any money; and tenant(s) has stopped paying rent. Or this person is a “Squatter” hell bent on manipulating the laws while costing you thousands of dollars. Most evictions could be negotiated however people tend to stop communicating with said landlords. Or they just plain get ornery thinking they’re a looser and the owner is a super-rich billionaire devoid of any emotions. Most landlords are modern day people living paycheck to paycheck like others. On the day of the eviction, the sheriff will only give you minimum help at best, they expect you to be professional, on time and prepared to take possession of the property of the day of eviction. Here’s a few quick tips to help you if you decide to go it alone on the day of Eviction: Hire a professional locksmith on the day of eviction. Expect to spend minimum $200 for the time of the locksmith and if he needs to rekey the place you might spend extra. Be prepared for unruly tenants or squatters that will try to fight you in some cases, get unruly and verbally abuse you. Be ready to give the sheriff any information regarding eviction to help their safety. For example, if tenant has been acting strangely, weird or volatile. The sheriff needs this information for their safety and yours. Don’t take it personal. Don’t respond to potential verbal abuse from evicted tenants Performing an eviction is a smart move for a landlord that has tried to work out an amicable outcome before even arising to this outcome.
