Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, check the Berkeley rent board website for actual laws etc. I believe if your name is actually on the lease, you are protected by rent control the same way as the original tenants. What a lot of landlords (like mine) do is deliberately avoid adding new housemates to the lease, basically treating them as subletters who then aren't protected by rent control. See: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/Rent_Stabilization_Board/Home/G... > The new roommates are considered subtenants of the original occupants as long as they do not sign a lease or rental agreement with the landlord > Thus, a landlord may implement a vacancy increase (i.e., establish a new initial rent) by giving 30 days' written notice if (1) there has been a complete turnover of original occupants; (2) none of the remaining occupants lawfully resided in the unit before January 1, 1996; (3) none of the remaining occupants has signed a lease or rental agreement with the landlord |
