Landlord Gateway

Centralizing information for landlords to navigate the City’s property management resources.

About

The Landlord Gateway Program centralizes resources to help both current and prospective landlords navigate the City’s processes, requirements, and guidance through a single location.

Using the Gateway, landlords can learn how to:

  • Obtain a rental license and start renting their property.
  • Maintain their existing rental license and access services for licensed landlords.
  • Participate in affordable housing programs to access a regular income, incentives, and resources.

The Gateway includes housing-related services and resources from 16 City departments and agencies to help landlords manage rental properties and tenants to stay current with rent.
