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.
