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.

In 2022, a California full-time worker needs to earn an hourly wage of $39.01 on average to afford a modest, two-bedroom rental home and $31.18 to afford a modest, one-bedroom rental home. Here in the Bay Area, those numbers are much higher. As the country faces record rent increases and rising evictions, it is more important than ever to make meaningful and long-lasting structural changes to ensure renters with the lowest incomes have stable and affordable homes.
