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 public sector does not wait for water to be provided to homes and businesses, it actively intervenes to ensure that it happens. Can we treat housing similarly by pivoting the role of the government in the provision of homes? Considering housing to be essential infrastructure — an essential need for humans to thrive — could drastically change the way that it gets delivered. Join a panel of state legislators and policy leaders as they discuss this concept for the first program in our new “Housing the Region” series.
