Applications open through June 6 for rent stabilization work group

By

The application deadline has been extended through June 6 for renters, property owners and developers to serve on a new rent stabilization work group. The work group is charged with recommending a policy framework and analysis for the City Council on a City policy regulating rent amounts for private residential property.
 

On April 14, the City Council adopted a resolution creating the work group.

We expect that the work group will begin convening in July and meet twice a month for up to two hours throughout 2022. The substantial work is expected to be inside the regularly scheduled meetings, planned to be held in person.

Fill out the application on the City website by June 6.
