In its first meeting, the Pasadena Rental Housing Board will hold a planning discussion regarding the Board’s structure and a possible approach to begin organizational work of the Board.
The Board will also form ad hoc committees to the Board structure, a work plan, staffing and an initial budget, technology requirements and a community outreach plan.
The Board is scheduled to meet at 5 p.m. on May 24 at the Robinson Park Recreation Center.
In November, 54% of the voters passed Measure H.
The law requires local landlords to roll back rents to May 2021 rates.
It also limits local rent adjustments annually to 75% of the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for multifamily rental units built before February 1, 1995, and prohibits evictions from rental units, except for just cause evictions based on 11 criteria.
Pasadena City Charter Article XVIII requires the creation of a Rental Housing Board, which is responsible for the implementation of the Board.
It is anticipated that the Pasadena Rental Housing Board will be sworn in, set a regular meeting date and time, and begin deliberations on an initial work plan to implement the Pasadena Fair & Equitable Housing Charter Amendment (PFEHCA).
The 13 member Board is composed of seven tenant members, one from each Council district, four at-large members that may reside in any council district, as well as two alternate members, one for the tenant group and one for the at-large group.
The meeting is open to the public.
Meeting agendas, minutes, and additional information about the Board will be posted online at the Rental Housing Board Commission webpage.
