Agenda preview
The council will review a landlord's appeal of a $5,054 penalty for habitability violations including defective windows, mold, and electrical problems. The Rent Program issued this penalty after finding unsafe conditions in a rental unit. This represents the 17th time in the past year that rent board and tenant issues have come before the council.
Three Rent Program budget reports are scheduled: monthly reports for October and the first quarter covering July through September. The Rent Program collects fees from landlords to fund rent control enforcement and tenant assistance services. These routine financial reports track whether the program stays within budget.
The council will consider giving the Richmond Rent Board an official December recess from meetings. The board currently meets year-round without scheduled breaks. This regulation would suspend regular and special meetings during December.
