Landlords with rent-controlled units will pay $207 per unit, while those with partially covered units pay $100 and subsidized units pay $50. These costs are typically passed on to tenants through higher rents. The measure passed with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with only Thomas Butt dissenting. This continues the council's strong pattern of approving budget measures, though Butt has occasionally opposed such items in the past.
