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.

If approved, 1265 Montecito Ave. will bring a new 100% affordable multifamily development to Mountain View consisting of one 5-story building with 4-stories of 82 residential apartments above a one-story parking structure with common areas. Charities Housing’s project is 0.5 miles from transit making it eligible for a AB 1763 density bonus.

The project is working towards 2022 entitlements with a planned mix of units restricted to families making between 25% to 60% area median income (AMI), including units available for ELI families, veterans, and rapid rehousing. On-site services and amenities will include a Community Room available to the public, gardens and common areas, resident services, private storage, bicycle parking, and a food pantry.

To make this project a reality, the City will need to approve a General Plan Amendment to convert the property from CN to R-4 which involves several meetings open to the public; join SV@Home in telling the City Council that you support this opportunity for new affordable homes in Mountain View!
