Free rental housing workshops for landlords and tenants

January 23, 2025

Calendar with a text box that states: Mark your calendars, the City of Hayward is hosting FREE educational workshops for tenants and landlords

The City of Hayward is partnering with nonprofits Echo Housing and Project Sentinel to offer a series of informative free rental housing workshops for both landlords and tenants. 

The workshops—which will be held on select Saturdays in February, March, April, May and June at the downtown Hayward Public Library—will cover essential topics such as tenant and landlord rights, evictions, repairs and habitability, rent increases, the Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance and its petition process. 

Whether you're a landlord seeking to understand your obligations or a tenant wanting to know your rights, these workshops provide valuable information on fair and respectful housing practices. 

Join us to gain the knowledge you need to navigate your rights and responsibilities in the rental market. Topics covered will vary workshop to workshop.
