The East Bay Rental Housing Association is committed to assisting, serving and educating local rental property owners and managers. Membership with EBRHA is an exercise in preventative maintenance--knowing the potential problems and pitfalls of rental property ownership and how to avoid costly errors with best practices--is what we are all about.
