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.

On August 27th, 2025, SV@Home held our August Policy In Action (PIA): “Housing Policy to Pay Attention to Right Now in Sacramento.” This was a timely legislative update with Leslie Rodriguez, Partner at California Strategies, LLC and Board Chair of the SV@Home Action Fund, and special guest CA Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens, District 26. Watch the recording to learn about what’s happening in Sacramento in 2025, and what it means for affordable housing in Silicon Valley. View the slides here.


SV@Home’s Policy in Action @ Home series (PIA) is a monthly, informal discussion convening Housers to engage on hot housing topics. Every month, we select a topic or current event, bring in an expert to give a brief presentation or interview, and then open up the discussion to ask questions, float new ideas, and identify potential areas for shared action.

SV@Home strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email events@siliconvalleyathome.org
