Review tenant buyout policy and direct staff to draft new law
In Plain English
The Rent Board previously created a policy requiring high oversight of agreements where landlords pay tenants to move out. The city council will decide whether to keep this policy unchanged or modify it. If approved, staff will present the policy at a future council meeting and work with lawyers to turn it into a formal city law.
