The division described a six-phase implementation plan (research and stakeholder input; adopting regulations; building internal procedures; outreach and education; owner submittals; and staff processing). \"We have completed the first 3, and the last 3 are all in progress,\" a Rent Stabilization Division staff member said.

Key numbers and deadlines: for properties with more than 20 units the division reported a 100% submission response for the first submittal period, representing 9,027 of 12,754 fully covered units. The next submittal deadlines include Sept. 30 for properties with 6'20 units and Dec. 31 for properties with 1'5 units. Staff said they have processed and notified tenants for 3,208 units (52 properties) in the >20 unit category; 6'20 unit properties show 28.5% of properties responding (745 units) and 1'5 unit properties show about 11% of expected submittals to date (122 units).

Staff described extensive outreach and customer-service steps: landlord workshops, targeted mailings and postcards, pre-addressed return envelopes, targeted emails, phone calls, web resources, FAQs and 15 forms and templates to streamline submissions. The division also runs weekly landlord help centers and tenant help centers on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

On processing and tenant review: staff said submitted petitions are reviewed for accuracy, anonymous tenant workbooks are produced when needed, and staff prefill notice forms to reduce the burden on landlords. Staff estimated the overall petition-process work could be finalized by September 2026.

Committee members asked about prioritization and owner types. Member Hislop asked for a breakdown of owners who filed in the >20-unit category to better understand ownership patterns; staff agreed to provide that information. Vice Chair Cox asked whether smaller properties tend to wait until deadlines; staff said filings are trickling in but that a high-touch outreach push was planned in the weeks before the Sept. 30 deadline. Member Keating and others asked whether tenants had disputed landlord submittals; staff said tenant disputes have been rare and cited two early resubmissions to correct miscategorized bill types or unit counts.

A member of the public, Philip Cosby, asked whether tenants in larger properties continue to receive RUBS (ratio-utility-billing system) charges during processing; staff confirmed RUBS charges continue until a petition is finalized and any required notice periods are completed.

Ending: staff confirmed continued updates to the committee and reiterated outreach plans to reach nonresponsive properties ahead of forthcoming deadlines.","Staff briefed the committee on the multi-phase implementation of the one-time utility adjustment petition process required by CSFRA. Properties with more than 20 units achieved 100% submissions (9,027 units); smaller properties have lower submission rates.

Staff said the changes parallel recent edits to the CSFRA regulations and are intended to \"clean up, clarify, and update the regulations.\" The package formalizes a staff authority provision to allow minor, nonsubstantive administrative amendments to MHRSO regulations (with notice on the RHC consent calendar), adds defined petition terms used throughout the regulations and corrects the prior definition of the term rent rollback to match how the regulation uses it.

The staff presentation noted prior council-level amendments to the MHRSO in June 2022 and March 2025 and said the regulation updates reflect those ordinance changes.

A motion to adopt the amendments was made by Member Brown, seconded by Shercox; the motion passed unanimously.

Ending: staff recommended continuing an administrative review of additional MHRSO chapters and providing further updates to the committee as edits are prepared for review.","The Rental Housing Committee unanimously adopted amendments to MHRSO regulations (chapters 1 and 2) to add staff authority for minor administrative updates, define petition types for mobile-home regimes, and correct the definition of 'rent rollback.'",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6479614,"Rental Housing Committee adopts amendments to Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act regulations",813,1791000,2604000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693240-da91b509d074fb38b574a413d02affa1&start=1791&end=2604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693240-da91b509d074fb38b574a413d02affa1/thumbnail_1791000.jpg","/articles/6479614/Mountain-View/Santa-Clara-County/California/Rental-Housing-Committee-adopts-amendments-to-Community-Stabilization-and-Fair-Rent-Act-regulations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479614-11b27168343fbc06781768823ddb558f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770504890&Signature=S5fUMij7ydF1ZCBdv~18X78~j09TayEv8PK3UMbkId8qHdFZpLMdiQc9OgX4s8L8TugmsROpphCuiXriBCYpR1SfG4FK8n4kpAWpcN9TafGrWE1EZn8mFZWTy-g2LUqy-wLc4T96w274CBs6FPLSbzHZenxSHZ5Ds7mWstAJkniETkl-0SA8nRSs4Gb9lFThpMUPPuQhOtXpAU4dnGB5AWJWKqfkMkz5DMkcLjeK7JY3ruc~-lhG~cGxj9V-s~NNYx0r~V8lqxhOeJzV~P3kyW1XgA-bM1PsZdulKhHo9H1ZQcrIexyMF45Iybiahwr9-0g2ZvFXJeuio1WtTa-AKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rental Housing Committee on Aug. 28 voted to adopt amendments to the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act regulations, approving changes to chapter 1 (purpose), chapter 2 (definitions) and chapter 3 (code of conduct).

Staff said the amendments are intended to \"clean up, clarify, and update the regulations and improve the CSFRA regulations as a tool for implementation, administration, and enforcement of the CSFRA.\" The package includes a new section giving staff limited authority to make minor, nonsubstantive regulatory amendments to improve clarity and streamline administration.

Why it matters: the changes add precise definitions for covered rental units (including treatment of units receiving housing-assistance payments), add defined petition types (rent increase/decrease, specified capital-improvement, joint petitions and one-time utility adjustment petitions), and revise meeting-adjournment and conduct language in chapter 3 to better reflect Brown Act requirements.

During deliberations Vice Chair Cox read a staff Q&A into the record about recourse if a committee member disagrees with a staff-made minor amendment; staff clarified minor amendments will be placed on the consent calendar and any member may pull the item for discussion. \"If a member of the RHC disagrees with a minor amendment by staff, they would be able to pull the item from the consent calendar per the usual process and open a discussion,\" the staff response said, as read by Vice Chair Cox.

A motion to adopt the amendments was made by Member Hislop and seconded by Member Brown; the motion passed unanimously.

Ending: staff said the recommended administrative review will continue in coming months, with additional chapter amendments to be brought forward for committee review.","The committee voted unanimously to adopt amendments to CSFRA regulations (chapters 1, 2 and 3) to clarify definitions, add staff authority for minor administrative amendments, define petition types and update meeting conduct language to reflect Brown Act requirements.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6479619,"Mountain View rent-stabilization staff: 3,369 public inquiries, housing help centers assist 230 tenant households in FY24–25",797,506000,1303000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693240-da91b509d074fb38b574a413d02affa1&start=506&end=1303","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693240-da91b509d074fb38b574a413d02affa1/thumbnail_506000.jpg","/articles/6479619/Mountain-View/Santa-Clara-County/California/Mountain-View-rent-stabilization-staff-3369-public-inquiries-housing-help-centers-assist-230-tenant-households-in-FY2425","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479619-389111b57dfc87e3ecd0322de11fcf8b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770504890&Signature=my2KGt5kbAlYOxLpFWYsJyAckKWBN~gmCzKEhFPzpLpichM9Lc1eFsl7AAFugroosetD4MntvDq465CEei555Ig3Wry-OwgEyKropmmK2h2RBxHPbiZHmjZu4HU3XEa7qKC9F7xPIHKr4mrfWH7g8yfUBJGpMzRo1Uy5dzsh5kZR0NaqDw-5qqxZM0M2TK5uIkCrVSE1SRqqb0pfkwfKoTg9Dy2TNMSA6Nbal3JesnhZGifoP4B6Nc1hyDLCytnkYpbU31J0BNtK1wv4ST5SaUhtlbHU0ljtbdgzS9310xN2HIC1F4Cy4TypKTLC7SwKjCCJE4MjPbK9TCPpVa7K-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff from the Rent Stabilization Division presented the committee with its fiscal year 2024'25 activity report on Aug. 28, reporting 3,369 inquiries from the public and detailed outreach, mediation and housing-help statistics.

The report, delivered by a Rent Stabilization Division staff member, said the division logged approximately 1,100 phone calls, 1,678 emails, 473 walk-in visitors and 117 scheduled appointments in the year. \"You'll see here we responded to 3,369 inquiries from the public,\" the staff member said. About half of inquiries came from tenants and half from landlords; 12% of inquiries were in Spanish.

The nut graf: the report outlines the division's workload and service levels and shows high compliance on registration and fee payment for covered properties while also flagging market trends that could affect affordability.

In outreach and education, the division said it hosted 44 workshops with 318 participants (824 YouTube views), 50 virtual office-hour sessions with 99 participants, and took part in 109 outreach events reaching 3,639 people. The division maintains two housing help centers: a weekly landlord center (43 sessions, 68 landlords assisted) and a tenant help center held roughly twice monthly (22 sessions, 230 tenant households assisted). \"48% of the people who attended the Housing Help Center required assistance in a language other than English,\" staff reported; 83% of tenant households assisted reported annual household incomes under $55,000.

On enforcement and notices, staff said the division recorded 1,075 termination notices and 1,026 failure-to-pay-rent notices during the year; 569 unique households received failure-to-pay notices. The division also tracked 21 eviction-withdrawn notices and two owner-move-in notices.

Registration and market metrics: staff reported 682 fully covered properties representing 12,753 units and 12 partially covered properties representing 1,686 units. \"96% of our properties are registered compared to 95% last year, and 96% have paid their rental housing fees,\" the staff member said. The report put average market rent for fully covered units at about $2,894 and overall vacancy for fully covered units at 4% (partially covered units 3.2%; newly built units 14.6%).

Committee members commended parts of the report. Vice Chair Cox said the registration and fee-payment rates were improvements: \"96% is the best that we've seen yet, I think.\" Member Balch cautioned that zero specified-capital-improvement petitions is a warning sign about long-term property maintenance: \"that means that landlords are not seeing it worthwhile to really look after the long term condition of their property.\"

Staff also reported on mobile-home parks: Mountain View has six parks totaling 1,130 spaces; 100% of parks have registered and paid the rental-space fees. The division said it received 18 mobile-home inquiries in the year and no MHRSO petitions or no-fault evictions in FY24'25.

Ending: staff closed by inviting committee questions; members asked follow-up about specific notice categories and outreach steps. The committee moved on to regulatory amendment items later in the meeting.","Staff presented the Rent Stabilization Division's FY24'25 activity report showing 3,369 public inquiries, high registration and fee-payment rates for covered properties, extensive outreach and mediation work, and rising market rents. Committee members praised outreach and raised concerns about capital improvement petitions and vacancy trends.","actionData","errors"]
