Place ballot measure to repeal rent control and eviction protection laws
In Plain English
Richmond currently has laws that limit rent increases and require landlords to show good cause before evicting tenants. If approved, voters decide in November 2020 whether to eliminate these protections and replace them with different affordable housing rules. The change would affect all rental properties in the city.
