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.

With California’s desirable climate, diverse economy and many of the nation’s top colleges, the state continues to experience strong housing demand; however, housing construction is constrained by regulatory barriers, high costs, and fewer public resources. While California’s housing challenges may appear to be overwhelming, California’s Housing Future:
Challenges and Opportunities provides the data and analysis to describe the problem and frame the discussion surrounding solutions. The final Statewide Housing Assessment describes California’s housing
challenges, provides a Housing Action Plan with a set of strategies that should be implemented immediately to address these challenges, and includes a set of long-term recommendations to continue progress into the future.
