FAQ Topic: Rentals

I am a tenant in Colma and am having trouble with my landlord not being responsive to maintenance issues. Who can I contact?

Since the Town of Colma is a small town, we do not have a housing department to assist in these matters. The San Mateo County Department of Housing can assist you with landlord/tenant disputes. You may also visit our Community Resources page for additional information on housing.

Can I rent a room in my residence?

Yes. The Town of Colma does not have any rental restrictions. However, if you are only renting or leasing the home, renting a room may likely be a violation of your lease or rental agreement, so you will want to check the agreement and the property owner.

Can I rent my entire property?

Yes. The Town of Colma does not have any rental restrictions.

What are my tenant rights?
