Small Multi-Unit management, in Palo Alto
Small multi-unit buildings are where most Bay Area landlords start — and where the compliance rules bite hardest for their size. We handle leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and the rent-control and just-cause rules that apply even to a single small building, so your duplex or fourplex runs like a professionally managed asset.
In Palo Alto that means premium single-family and multifamily, often owned by out-of-area and international investors — managed by a local team that knows AB 1482 and Palo Alto's rental regulations. The Housing Guild has managed Bay Area rental property since 1977; whether you live near your Palo Alto property or across the country, we run it as a professionally managed asset.
What we handle
Right-sized fees
A management fee structure built for 2–4 unit buildings, not padded like a big-agency contract.
Tenant placement
Marketing, showings, screening, and lease execution to fill vacancies fast with well-qualified renters.
Compliance cover
SF Rent Ordinance, just-cause eviction, and AB 1482 rules that catch small owners off guard — handled for you.
One point of contact
No more 11pm plumbing calls. We field tenant issues and only escalate what actually needs your decision.
