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.

This 100% affordable project proposed by Charities Housing is early in the entitlement process, but hopes to bring 103 homes to Alum Rock.

The site is located on the VTA’s Alum Rock BRT line and just a 5-minute walk to the Alum Rock & Capital Light Rail stop. The surrounding neighborhood has a library, schools, a farmers’ market, and a variety of restaurants and shops, providing easy access to amenities within walking distance for future residents.

This housing development will offer a mix of studios to 3 bedroom apartments that will soften San Jose’s housing crisis by providing deep levels of affordability for families, with home affordability ranging from 30% to 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Community meetings are expected to commence in April or May; stay tuned to learn how you can let Council know that you support this 103 unit project in an area in desperate need of affordable housing.
