Agenda preview

The council will consider changes to four rent board regulations that would clarify procedures and extend decision timelines for housing disputes. The Rent Program is asking for more time to make decisions on cases between landlords and tenants, while also clarifying that both sides need a preponderance of evidence to win their cases.

The council will also receive the monthly financial report for the Rent Program through August 2025. This report tracks whether fees collected from landlords generate enough revenue to cover the costs of enforcing rent control laws.

Both items focus on the city's rent control system, a topic that has appeared on 14 agendas in the past year, most recently in August.
