Fair Rents, Fair Bills: Understanding Rent & Utility Regulations

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH 12PM

Join us for a learning session about San José’s Rent Stabilization Program and possible updates to the city’s rules on how utilities are billed in rental housing (known as Ratio Utility Billing Services, or RUBS).

We’ll break down:

  • What rent stabilization means
  • How RUBS works
  • And what these proposed changes could mean for renters and housing providers

You’ll also learn how to share your feedback and get involved as the city considers these updates and how it can impact you.

The purpose of this meeting is for City staff to present the City Council with information on the Plan Bay Area and Regional Housing Needs Allocation processes. In the study session memo linked below, staff writes that the Planned Development Areas for Mountain View generally overlap with where the city has been planning for new homes, but they believe that the likely proposed number of new homes will be unrealistic for the city.

City documents for the meeting can be found here.
