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.

On June 7, residents across the Bay Area will head to the voting booth. Instead of blindly facing a slew of complex measures in the ballot box, take advantage of the rigorous process that SPUR uses to develop the Voter Guide and join our policy staff in a beloved annual tradition as they explain the ballot and the organization’s stance on each measure. We’ll split up into groups to provide insight and answers about the ballots for San Francisco, San José and Oakland, and though we normally enjoy these discussions with a beer in hand, we’re hosting this session virtually this year, making this Ballots and Brews a BYOB affair.
