Check if a San Francisco property is subject to rent control
How It Works
This tool determines rent control status using the following criteria:
Criteria Used
Construction Date: Properties built on or before June 13, 1979 are generally rent controlled
Property Type: Multi-unit buildings (apartments, duplexes) vs. single-family homes
Condominium Status: Condominiums are typically exempt from rent control
Number of Units: Single-family homes and condos have different rules than multi-unit buildings
Limitations: Does not account for many exemptions including conversions after 1996, substantial renovations, government-financed housing, Costa-Hawkins exemptions, and other special cases
