Votes at a glance: March 18 Richmond Rent Board
Summary
At its March 18 meeting the Richmond Rent Board approved the consent calendar, moved two agenda items to April 15, and adopted a substitute motion directing staff to develop policy options on exemptions for subsidized units (yes 3, abstain 2).
The Rent Board took several procedural and substantive actions at its March 18 meeting.
- Consent calendar: Approved unanimously.
- Agenda change: The board voted unanimously to continue agenda items I1 and I2 to the April 15 regular meeting; any public speakers for those items were moved to April 15.
- Item H1 (Regulations 202/204; Resolution 19-01): The board adopted a substitute motion directing staff to develop policy options regarding exemptions for governmentally subsidized units — including an option to rescind the exemptions — to provide monthly updates, and to return to the regular September 2026 meeting for a final vote. The substitute motion passed 3–0 with two abstentions (Board members Espinosa and Willis). The substitute motion also directs staff to review Resolution 19-01 and bring back any properties with potential 5% increase violations for earlier consideration.
None of the board’s actions at this meeting changed existing regulations; the H1 vote authorized staff work and a timeline for future board consideration.
