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.

The Housing Department is hosting a meeting to provide information and gather your feedback on the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

On November 5, 2019, the City Council approved changes, in concept, to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and asked City Staff to do additional analysis on a few outstanding items. The Housing Department is working to:
• Finalize a draft of the updated ordinance, and develop a new program to incentivize density for small projects from 5 to 19 units,
• Extend the period of affordability, and
• Encourage innovative partnerships by exploring the minimum contribution for market-rate developers to off-site affordable developments.
City staff intends to bring the updated ordinance to the Housing and Community Development Commission in August, and City Council this fall.

This webinar is for our development community and anyone who would like to learn more about the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

If you have questions, please contact Tina Vo at tina.vo@sanjoseca.gov.
