Landlords of CSFRA-covered units must register with the Mountain View Rental Housing Committee and pay an annual per-unit fee. Registration is required before collecting rent or serving notices.
Under the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act, owners of covered rental units in Mountain View must register each unit annually with the Rental Housing Committee (RHC) and pay a per-unit regulatory fee. The fee funds administration of rent stabilization and just-cause enforcement. Owners must also file initial rent registration statements identifying the base rent, tenancy start date, and any housing services included. Failure to register can bar the landlord from imposing annual rent increases, pursuing unlawful detainer actions, or banking unused increases. Non-covered rentals (single-family homes, post-1995 multi-family, accessory dwelling units) are not required to register, but landlords should confirm status with the RHC before relying on an exemption. Registration is done through the RHC online portal.
