Sunnyvale, plainly read.

Cherry Chase consistently leads retention metrics. 3-plus year tenancies are common and we have a few properties with the same families since 2019. Heritage District (walkable downtown) leases fastest, often within 10 days, with the tradeoff being slightly higher turnover.

Sunnyvale's applicant pool is the most international we work with. Roughly 30% of placements we make here are tenants on H-1B or other employment-based visas, often relocating to the Bay Area for the first time. That cohort requires more documentation work upfront but is unusually stable once placed.

Our 14 Sunnyvale doors have an average lease-up of 14 days, but the range is wide. 8 days for well-priced Cherry Chase homes near schools, up to 22 days for the harder-to-position inventory near El Camino. Repricing on day seven matters here.

Sunnyvale is the kind of market where volume and operational discipline matter. We invested in a dedicated South Bay portfolio manager partly to handle the day-to-day rhythm of a city with this many active doors and this many simultaneously moving applications.

AB 1482 state cap; no local rent control. I track the effective rent cap per property and apply it at renewal. That includes the required tenant notices, deposit handling under California Civil Code §1950.5, and any local timing requirements that apply.
