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.

Join us to learn about a community-centered vision for healthy, democratic, cooperative housing in San José.

Community members and staff from SOMOS Mayfair will present a grassroots vision for limited equity housing cooperatives (LEHCs) in San José. Attendees will learn about a community-driven process that led us to choose LEHCs as a strategy to preserve our communities and protect against displacement, as well as an introduction to the concept of LEHCs and how they could thrive in San José. This will be an interactive virtual meeting with 3-5 presenters and a Q&A.

The event will be conducted in English with Spanish interpretation.
