The City of San Leandro may sometimes provide information or list that let you know about rental housing units and below market rate or BMR properties that are currently available in the area. However, the City government is not in any way responsible for the following properties so it’s important that you contact the administrator of these properties directly to inquire if they are still available or not. Each of these properties demands eligibility and unique requirements to allow tenancy. Some of these requirements include age and income limits.

It is important to note that although not all properties are available at this time, owners allow you to put your name on a waiting list just so they would know who gets what the moment any of these units becomes available.
