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.

This past year, we’ve seen tech giants getting involved in the political realm more explicitly. Just this year, Uber, Lyft, and Postmates poured $200 million into their Prop 22 campaign. Other companies, like Coinbase, banned politics in their workplace. With a growing affordability crisis in the Bay Area and beyond, many of us are wondering, what should be the role of tech companies in politics?

Join us on Thursday, December 10th at noon as we discuss how tech companies have engaged in political issues—or not. We’ll talk with Assemblymember David Chiu, Pantheon’s CEO Zack Rosen, Blend’s Head of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Ulysses J. Smith, and Kurt Nelson, Senior Software Engineer at Uber and author of the op-ed I’m a software engineer at Uber and I’m voting against Prop 22.

Agenda:

  • Webinar kicks off at 12:00 PM
  • Panel discussion begins at 12:05 PM
  • Q&A from attendees from 12:40-1:00 PM
