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.

For many, it’s hard to understand why it takes so long to get housing and especially affordable housing built. Silicon Valley at Home (SV@Home) demystifies this process through a four-part series on the financing of affordable housing, organized in conjunction with the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG), SPUR San Jose, and the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley.
