...Title

Extension of the Residential Eviction Moratorium, Consideration of a Rent Freeze and Exploration of Solutions for the Rental Community Impacted by COVID-19.

...Recommendations

As recommended by the Rules and Open Government Committee on April 8, 2020:

(a) Adopt a resolution extending the temporary moratorium to May 31, 2020 on evictions due to nonpayment of rent for residential tenants where the failure to pay rent results from income loss resulting from COVID-19.

(b) Direct the City Attorney to draft an Urgency Ordinance and Companion Ordinance placing a temporary rent freeze on all new rent increases for rent stabilized apartments and mobile homes to be considered at the April 21, 2020 Council Meeting.

(c) Discuss a convening of stakeholders representing landlords and tenants to explore alternative solutions to address the needs of our rental community impacted by COVID-19.
