Subcommittee meeting focusing on enhancing tenant housing security, including adoption of rent control/just cause eviction protections in Pasadena.

In our service area, a disproportionate number of African American houseolds rent their dwellings.  Because landlords may:

1. Charge any rent they wish,
2. Raise rents as often as once every 30 to 60 days (after the initial written lease term has been reached) and/or
3. Evict tenants for no reason,

tenants are extremely insecure in their housing.  Because so many families/households of color have been and are subject to permanent displacement, the Committee will be focusing on enhancing housing security for tenant households.
