Rental Registration: Pittsburg vs San Ramon

Pittsburg requires rental property owners to obtain a business license under Municipal Code Title 5 for residential rental operations. Owners must comply with California AB 1482 statewide rent cap and just-cause eviction rules, with annual disclosure of rental terms. No formal city rental registry exists, but business license compliance is mandatory.

San Ramon does not currently operate a mandatory city-wide residential rental registration program. Landlords must still obtain a City of San Ramon business license and comply with California state rental laws including AB 1482 rent cap/just cause (for qualifying properties), security deposit limits under Civil Code 1950.5, and statewide habitability standards. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) have separate registration requirements. Property owners of 3+ units should review state landlord-tenant rules carefully.
