Draft ordinance to replace rent control laws with new affordable housing rules
In Plain English
Richmond currently has rent control laws that limit rent increases and require landlords to show cause before evicting tenants. The city wants to replace these protections with a different set of affordable housing rules. If approved, the city attorney drafts the new ordinance for voters to decide in November 2020.
