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.

As national and global leaders continue to enact exclusionary policies and create discourse that divides by othering: How do we make meaning of the current moment and global climate we are in? How do we build an economy that fosters wellbeing for all in this time? How do we forge ahead and understand pathways towards making progress, together and toward a future of belonging without othering? Join us on March 24 for a live webinar where we hope to answer these questions and more. Othering & Belonging Institute Director john a. powell will be joined by researchers and leaders in the fields of authoritarian populism, democracy, belonging economies, and community building. 

Panelists will also address Frequently Asked Questions collected in our survey, which is still open for your submissions.
