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.

When it comes to housing reform, we have seen major reboots to housing policies and programs over the past few years. Despite major progress, are we focusing too much on “fixing the bugs” and not achieving critical updates to the underlying system?

This panel will take a deep dive into how statewide legislation has changed the housing landscape since 2017, what has been the impact on the ground from landmark housing bills like SB 35, and what to expect in 2020.
This event is part of ULI SF’s Housing the Bay Initiative, culminating in our 3rd annual Housing the Bay Summit on June 2nd.
