Rohnert Park rent appeals board sets 2025 annual adjustment at 1.9%
Summary
The Rent Appeals Board approved a 1.9% annual General Adjustment for rent‑controlled mobile‑home spaces, effective Feb. 1, 2025; the vote was 4–0 with one member excused.
The Rohnert Park Rent Appeals Board voted on Oct. 3, 2024 to set the 2025 annual General Adjustment (AG) for rent‑controlled mobile‑home spaces at 1.9 percent, a measure staff said is tied to the Consumer Price Index and the city ordinance cap. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote, four in favor and one excused.
Housing Division staffer Jenna summarized the formula used under the city’s mobile‑home park ordinance, saying, "the annual General adjustment or AG is another way of the allowable rent increase ... it uses the Consumer Price Index ... with a maximum cap at 4%." Staff presented CPI year‑over‑year figures and explained the ordinance prescribes the calculation method and rounding rules used to arrive at the 1.9% figure.
Under the ordinance adopted when rent control was placed on mobile‑home park spaces, the AG is set each October and applied to eligible month‑to‑month spaces beginning on Feb. 1 of the following year. Jenna told the board the calculation compares August CPI values year‑over‑year, applies the ordinance adjustments, and then enforces the 4% cap where applicable.
The motion to adopt Resolution 2024‑25 followed no substantive public comment and no board questions after the presentation. The board recorded its vote as Vice Chair Kirby: yes; Chair Raymond: yes; Board Member Taylor: yes; Board Member Davis: yes. The measure passed 4–0 with one board member excused.
The AG adopted by the board will be reflected in the standard notices provided to park owners and residents and take effect on or after Feb. 1, 2025.
