Rent Board
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR LANDLORDS
San Francisco landlords require a license before imposing annual and cumulative rent increases on tenants in accordance with the city’s rent control laws. To obtain or renew a license, landlords must report certain information about their residential units in the San Francisco Housing Inventory each year. Landlords can submit their Housing Inventory information to the Rent Board in several ways, but are strongly encouraged to complete the process online at portal.sfrb.org. Once the system accepts the submission, a rent increase license will be automatically generated and made available. Landlords can also submit a paper Housing Inventory form to 25 Van Ness Ave., Suite 320, San Francisco, CA 94102 or to rentboard.inventory@sfgov.org. Assistance is available by calling 311 or emailing rentboard.inventory@sfgov.org. Visit sf.gov/rentboard for more information.
