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.

Free, online, and open to the general public, this forum will be hosted by the SV@Home Action Fund, Palo Alto Forward, and the Palo Alto Renters Association.

During this forum, candidates for Palo Alto City Council will answer questions about their plans to tackle the housing crisis. Please register today and join us for this educational event. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.

All candidates have been invited: Alex Comsa, Brian Hamachek, Lisa Forssell, Ed Lauing, Julie Lythcott-Haims, Doria Summa, and Vicki Veenker.

Our regional and statewide housing crisis is multi-layered — from housing production to renter protections, from homelessness to preserving affordable housing, and intersecting with transportation, climate change, and equity. Many policies responsible for the crisis began at the city level, and that is where solutions begin as well. Please join us to learn more about each candidate’s ideas, experiences, and plans for the future of housing in Palo Alto.

 

Live Mandarin and Spanish interpretation will be provided for this event.
