Hayward's Rental Housing Inspection Program registers and inspects rental property, explicitly including single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

The programme explicitly reaches the one-to-four-unit inventory a small buyer is likely to acquire.

Ask for the current RHIP registration, inspection result, cited repairs and any approved exemption.

California has no statewide rental-property registry

California does not impose a general statewide rental-property registration programme. City and county programmes can still require registration and inspection, and a statewide-only answer must not be read as a clean local search.

The local jurisdiction must be checked separately. The curated municipal layer in this service is explicit and partial; an address outside it inherits state statutes but no claim that its city has no programme.
