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.

Future of Sunnyhills

The Sunnyhills Neighborhood Association is hosting a virtual presentation and discussion about the future of Sunnyhills Apartments and other HUD-subsidized housing on Saturday, May 7, at 8:30 a.m.

The owner of Sunnyhills Apartments has threatened to opt out of its HUD Section 8 contract in February 2023. Although current Sunnyhills tenants are protected by enhanced vouchers, after they leave, the 149 HUD-subsidized apartments in the complex could revert to market rate.

Bridgett Simmons from the National Housing Law Project and Sunnyhills community members will discuss what ‘s happening and what options might be available at the event, co-sponsored by SV@Home as part of Affordable Housing Month.

RSVP to info@sunnyhillsneighborhood.org by Friday, May 6, for the Zoom link.
