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 Bay Area is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country but, unfortunately, a surplus of policy recommendations, new construction methods, progressive leadership, the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for greater equity and an acceleration in housing production over the past decade haven’t moved the needle to any considerable degree. Why has that been the case, and what can be done? What strategies and policies have proven to be effective, and what barriers stand in the way of solutions and real change? Join us to discuss what it will take to make major strides forward in creating a Bay Area that is affordable to everyone.

Co-presented by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.
