Executive Summary: The proposed Ordinance amends the Rent Review Ordinance (RRO) to: (1) update the methodology for establishing the Rent Review Program (Program) Administration Fee; and (2) revises notice requirements for residential rent increases to conform with state law.
The RRO authorizes the City to recover all expenditures for the administration of the Program by collecting a per-rental unit fee from residential landlords. The purpose of this staff report is to recommend that the City Council adopt a per-unit fee of $16.00 for FY 2024/25, for full cost-recovery of administering the RRO.
The ordinance was introduced by the City Council at its January 7, 2025 meeting. The ordinance is now before the Council for adoption.
