Amend 5 rent control regulations to clarify procedures and extend timelines
In Plain English
The city's rent control program currently has unclear rules for evidence requirements and hearing procedures. These changes clarify when landlords must prove their case, allow decisions without full hearings when facts are undisputed, and give hearing officers 30 extra days to decide cases. The changes also extend deadlines for mailing notices to tenants and landlords.
