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.

Through advocacy, leadership development, communications, and public education, we create the environment — the public support, the data and research, the technical capacity, and the funding resources — that enable affordable housing and housing justice in Silicon Valley. Our work has supported the development of tens of thousands of affordable homes, with more in the pipeline. The policies we’ve advanced across Santa Clara County have helped additional tens of thousands of families stay in their homes. And yet, hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors still struggle to maintain their housing and are at risk of losing their homes. There is still much work to do.
