Castro Valley is the fifth most populous unincorporated census-designated place in California. Located near the San Francisco Bay Area, Castro Valley was first known for its large chicken ranches. As industry and business steadily increased in the area, Castro Valley gradually transformed into a bedroom community, with most of its residents commuting to other cities in the area to work during the day.

An owner of rental properties in Castro Valley and other surrounding cities was found to have defrauded his past tenants out of almost $200,000 between 1999 and 2007. The landlord was found to have made up damage claims to apartments in order to keep his former tenants’ security deposits. Additionally, the jury found that the landlord must pay $5.5 million in punitive damages to the former tenants, including those in Castro Valley. The lawyer for the landlord is hopeful that the judge presiding over the case will reduce the punitive damage award in accordance with the US Supreme Court law that states that punitive damages cannot be more than ten times the actual damages.
