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.

Please join the City of Milpitas’s second Housing Element Community Workshop. The Housing Element is part of the City’s General Plan. Its purpose is to facilitate the production of a variety of housing types, at different income levels, to accommodate all households and family types. Cities are required by state law to update their Housing Element every eight years, and the City of Milpitas is now updating its Housing Element to plan for the City’s projected housing needs during the next eight years between 2023 and 2031.

This workshop is an opportunity to learn about the Housing Element and provide your thoughts and ideas on potential new housing locations and programs to meet the City’s housing needs and eliminate constraints to its housing production and preservation.

The workshop will be virtual, largely interactive, and offer live interpretation in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin.

The workshop will be an opportunity to:

  • Learn about the Housing Element Update progress made to date, including the key housing issues identified through previous community engagement and the housing needs and constrained identified through analysis; and
  • Provide your thoughts and ideas on the following topics:
    • Potential new housing locations,
    • Existing housing programs, and
    • Proposed new housing programs.
