Oakland Mun. Code Chapter 8.22 § 8.22.760
Filing move out agreements with city (Oakland Rent Adjustment Program and Just Cause for Eviction Ordinances)
Operative Text
The owner shall file a copy of the move out agreement with the rent adjustment program no sooner than the twenty-fifth (25 th ) and no later than the forty-fifth (45 th ) day after service of the executed move out agreement. This filing requirement does not apply to move out agreements rescinded by the tenant pursuant to Section 8.22.750 .
Under Oakland Mun. Code § 8.22.760, once a move-out agreement has been signed and served, the property owner is required to submit a copy of that agreement to Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program within a specific window — no earlier than the 25th day and no later than the 45th day after service. This filing obligation does not apply if the tenant has exercised their right to rescind the agreement under Section 8.22.750. The rule creates a mandatory administrative record of move-out agreements within the city's rent regulation system.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Oakland Mun. Code § 8.22.760 places the filing obligation squarely on the owner, so compliant operators typically track the exact date the executed move-out agreement was served and calendar both the earliest permissible filing date (day 25) and the deadline (day 45). Submitting the agreement to the Rent Adjustment Program within that window — and retaining proof of submission — is the standard practice for meeting this requirement. Operators also generally confirm whether the tenant has rescinded the agreement under Section 8.22.750 before proceeding, since a rescinded agreement is exempt from the filing requirement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 8.22.760, your landlord carries the responsibility of filing any executed move-out agreement with Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program between the 25th and 45th day after service — this is not the tenant's obligation. If you rescinded the move-out agreement under Section 8.22.750, the filing requirement does not apply to that agreement. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to comply with this filing rule may consider contacting the Oakland Rent Adjustment Program directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
