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.

Happy Housers is our bimonthly happy hour where we engage elected officials, city/county staff, community members, and advocates in a relaxed setting to mix, mingle, and discuss prevalent housing topics in a laid-back setting. Each Happy Housers features an honored guest who’s making waves in the housing community. We welcome you to enjoy some food and libations! Members get a drink on us!

This Happy Housers we welcome Fahad Qurashi, South Bay Director at TechEquity Collaborative. The TechEquity Collaborative is a startup organization that educates and activates tech workers who think the Bay Area’s tech-driven economy can and should work for everyone. They believe the tech industry can be a force for broad-based opportunity rather than displacement and inequality. They focus on two issue areas: housing and workforce & labor. And they activate our community in three ways: awareness-raising, creating volunteer opportunities, and advocacy campaigns.

We hope you can join us! Remember: Members get a drink on us!
