Rent Control Ballot Measure Considered in Oakland!

Rent Control Ballot Measure Considered in Oakland!

On May 24 at 1pm, the Oakland City Council's Community and Economic Development Committee will consider placing a measure on the November ballot that would extend rent control to owner-occupied duplexes and triplexes. The proposed measure was written by tenant activists and includes a slew of punitive provisions including: Extending rent control and Just Cause for Eviction protections to owner-occupied duplexes and triplexes Limiting rent increases to 60% of CPI Eliminating the existing tenant complaint driven system, instead requiring landlords to petition for all increases above CPI Creating an independent Rent Board and giving tenants four out of the seven seats Eliminating rent control exemptions for substantially rehabilitated units Eliminating illegal use and failure to renew a similar lease as just causes for eviction OBAR urges you to reach out to Mayor Schaaf and the City Council to tell them that this measure will not address Oakland's affordability crisis. It will simply punish the small property owners who are already being squeezed out of Oakland. Please also attend the committee meeting on May 24 to show support for property rights in Oakland. Contact Deputy Government Affairs Director Aly Bonde with questions at aly@theobaor.org. ​ What: Rent control ballot measure committee meeting When: Tuesday, May 24 at 1pm Where: Oakland City Council Chamber, 3rd floor at 1 Frank H.

Possible Eviction History Changes in Oakland!

Possible Eviction History Changes in Oakland!

​Protect Your Access To Applicants Eviction History Call now or lose your rights at a huge cost!   How would you like to inherit repeat non-payers of rent because of a "hiding" law that prevents you, the owner, from knowing the specifics of an applicant's rental history when running credit reports? AB 2819 (Chiu) will permanently hide all unlawful detainer (court eviction) actions, unless the wronged rental property owner files a judgment in court within 60 days for outstanding monies owed. If the owner does not take this action within 60 days, the repeat non-payer will move into the rental without the owner knowing their history. Sometimes owners don't file a judgment for outstanding monies. Sometimes they just want possession of their unit because the situation has been so stressful and draining. This bill unfairly places ALL costs, burdens, and responsibilities for ensuring public notice of tenant defaults on the property owner with a specific time limit. If you choose not to file within 60 days, the resident gets their poor rental history wiped clean. Call Your Assembly Member Now If you live, work, own or manage a property in Alameda or Contra Costa counties, please call your Assembly Member as soon as possible and ask him or her to VOTE NO on AB 2819 (Chiu) when it is taken up on the floor. Please call on or before May 15, 2016! Here are the simple steps:             ·  Call the Senator's office listed below ·  When the call is answered, identify yourself and state that you are a member of the                East Bay Rental Housing Association ·  State that you live, work, own OR manage residential rental property in the City of                  _______ ·  State you are calling to ask the Legislator to VOTE NO on AB 2819 (Chiu) ·  Thank the Assembly Member's staff for taking your call. That's it!
