Approve cost-sharing agreement where Rent Board administers city housing laws
In Plain English
The city charges the Rent Board $2.3 million in overhead costs since 2016, which the board says makes collaboration difficult. If approved, the Rent Board takes over enforcing 5 city housing laws in exchange for waiving these charges. The city helps collect unpaid fees from landlords and keeps 10% of collections.
