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 severity of California’s housing crisis calls for urgent political and community action. But the complexity of the crisis means that we can’t just continue to undertake the same approaches that have been previously attempted — it instead requires a radical reimagining of the state’s entire housing ecosystem. Two recent reports, SPUR’s Housing the Region and Housing California and California Housing Partnership’s California’s Roadmap Home, seek to do exactly that. Together, these comprehensive plans advocate for a future where the housing crisis is not just mitigated, but resolved. Join the reports’ authors for a discussion about their recommendations and what must be done to implement them.
