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.

ln light of the tragic workplace shooting in San Jose on 5/26, this event has been postponed to June. Registrants wilI be contacted with the new date and time as soon as possible.

This event is hosted by SV@Home, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, and Greenbelt Alliance as part of Affordable Housing Month 2021. 

Bring your friends and join fellow housers as we kick off the Housing Element process in Santa Clara County!

Every eight years, the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process is used to assign each city and county in California their “fair share” of new housing units to build. The RHNA process is critical because it requires all cities and counties to plan for the housing needs of their residents, regardless of income, in an effort to plan for future growth and ease the Bay Area’s acute housing crisis.

Now each city must create Housing Elements, the cities’ detailed plan for where and how all these new housing units will be built in the next eight years. It’s hugely important for housing advocates to get involved, to make sure plans are fair and feasible! Learn more about how to get involved and connect with the grassroots organizations that are leading the charge.
