What happened
The council established rent control and just cause eviction protections for tenants in a 4-1 vote, with Nat Bates voting no. The new law caps annual rent increases and requires landlords to show valid reasons before evicting tenants. Tom Butt and Vinay Pimplé were absent from the meeting.
The 32-minute meeting was unusually brief, with only one major agenda item addressed.
