Run a Stronger Property Management Business

Your portfolio crosses city lines. So do the rules.

Every city can set its own rules on rent, evictions, inspections and fees. A rule that applies in one city may not apply a few miles away.

One missed change can put your company, your clients and your management contracts at risk. SCRHA tracks the rules so your team doesn’t have to.

Advocacy that protects your clients and your business

SCRHA represents rental housing professionals at all levels of government. As you work to protect your clients' investment; we work to help ensure that operating rental housing doesn't become more complicated. 

City of San Diego Residential Tenant Utility Fee Ordinance: SCRHA worked closely with the author's office to ensure that rental housing providers were not prohibited from charging for utilities and passing through third-party administrative costs.

Lemon Grove Tenant Protection Ordinance: SCRHA engaged with local property owners and participated in hearings and workshops for months to ensure that the local ordinance closely mirrored state law, saving housing providers from additional relocation payments and more.

Statewide Legislative Advocacy: Each year the state legislature proposes dozens of bill that can negatively impact rental housing providers. In 2026, SCRHA helped stop numerous problematic bills and worked to vastly improve others. 

Right now, we’re working on Transparency & Fee Limit Ordinances in both the City and County of San Diego, which will affect property owners, managers, and suppliers of certain services, by limiting screening options, banning certain fees.
