Navigating Berkeley Rentals: Expert Insights with Attorney Ben Holl
Avoiding the pitfalls, traps, and challenges of Berkeley's legal landscape
Join us at our April 24th member meeting, where special guest speaker Ben Holl, the author of BPOA’s lease and addenda, breaks down key updates to the 2025 lease, including how Measure BB impacts lease renewals, extensions, and tenant rights.
Beyond just policy updates, Ben will highlight landlords' common mistakes and how to avoid them. As he puts it:
"A lot of the problems I run into come from errors that are avoidable with a bit more attention."
Topics Covered:
✔ Automatic Lease Renewal – How it works within the Measure BB framework and how members can utilize this option in the BPOA lease
✔ Best Practices for Negotiating Lease Extensions
✔ Understanding Tenancy Transition – How accepting rent after lease expiration without an extension automatically triggers a month-to-month tenancy
✔ Tenant Rights & Month-to-Month Tenancies – What owners need to know about tenant rights to transition and how transparent they must be about this option
✔ Common Landlord Pitfalls – Practical strategies to avoid costly legal mistakes and ensure compliance
