Updated: November 9, 2016
\n<\/em>This article has been updated to reveal the current results from the 2016 election.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Find out which cities are voting to change the rental market in their area on November 8th.<\/span><\/p>\n

On November 8th, five Bay Area cities will vote on new rent control proposals: Alameda, Burlingame, San Mateo, Mountain View and Richmond. Oakland voters will also consider strengthening the city\u2019s existing rent control and eviction protections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the measures each city will be voting on come election day. <\/span><\/h3>\n

Alameda, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure L1 – Passed with 55 percent of the vote. <\/em><\/strong>However, L1 was dependent on Measure M1 passing which\u00a0<\/em>did not.<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/span>A yes vote is a vote in favor of the city’s proposed rent control ordinance that would (1) require mediation for any annual rent increases more than 5 percent, (2) limit the reasons for eviction, and (3) require landlords to pay for relocation when ending certain leases, thereby competing with Measure M (see below). – Source, <\/span>Ballotpedia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Measure M1 – Failed with 66 percent voting no.<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/span>A yes vote is a vote in favor of amending the city charter to create an elected Rent Control Board, provide certain limits for rent increase and termination reasons, and impose fees in the event of certain tenancy terminations, thereby competing with Measure L. -Source, <\/span>Ballotpedia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Berkeley, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure AA – Passed with 70 percent of the vote.<\/em><\/strong>
\nProhibiting owner move-in evictions of families with school-aged children during the academic year and increasing the relocation assistance for owner move-ins to $15,000. Source, <\/span>The Daily Californian<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Burlingame, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure R<\/strong> (Rent Stabilization Initiative) – Failed with 67.4%<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/span>A yes vote is a vote in favor of repealing a previous city measure in Burlingame, prohibiting rent control and establishing a rent control commission and policies, including limiting annual rent increases to between 1 percent and 4 percent. -Source, <\/span>Ballotpedia<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>City of Burlingame<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

San Mateo, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure Q – Failed with 60.9% voting no.<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/span>A yes vote is a vote in favor of establishing a rent control commission and policies, including allowing annual rent increases equal to the Consumer Price Index increase and limiting annual rent increases to between 1 percent and 4 percent, which could be compounded in subsequent years with no single increase of more than 8 percent. – Source, <\/span>Ballotpedia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Mountain View, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure V – Passed with 53.44% voting yes.<\/em><\/strong>
\nMeasure V stipulates that rent increases must be based on the Consumer Price Index of the Bay Area; the range of permitted increase would be a minimum of 2 percent and a maximum of 5 percent in any year. The logic here, tenants advocates say, is to ensure that any rent increases be linked to the rising income levels of tenants.- Source, <\/span>Mountain View Voice<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Richmond, CA<\/h4>\n

Measure L – Passed with 64% voting yes.<\/em>
\n<\/strong>A proposed City of Richmond ordinance to establish rent control, a rent board, and just cause for eviction requirements in the City of Richmond. \u00a0Additionally, The ordinance requires relocation payments to be made under certain circumstances in an amount to be determined by the City Council through a Relocation Ordinance to be adopted by the Council. Source, <\/span>City of Richmond<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Oakland, CA<\/h4>\n

Oakland\u2019s current Rent Ordinance limits rent increases to 2% for all units that are covered by the ordinance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Measure JJ – Passed with 74% voting yes.<\/em>
\n<\/strong>Measure JJ would impose new regulations limiting landlord’s\u2019 ability to increase rents and expand just-cause eviction protections. Measure JJ would expand Oakland\u2019s Just-Cause Eviction ordinance, originally passed by ballot measure in 2002, to include all units built before 1996. Additionally, a landlord would need to request approval from the City for a rent increase above the cost of living adjustment. – Source, <\/span>Oakland Chamber of Commerce<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on the ballot for November 8, 2016 election concerning affordable housing.<\/h3>\n

According to Axiometrics<\/a>,\u00a0the are\u00a012 jurisdictions with measures that, if passed, would authorize General Obligation Bonds or other forms of financing to build or renovate affordable housing for low- to middle-income households, the homeless, veterans and disabled people. Passage would, in most cases, increase the property-tax rate in the community, which would affect all property owners, including those with apartments and student housing.<\/p>\n

Among those with such initiatives on the ballot are Los Angeles; San Diego; Seattle; Portland, OR; Baltimore; Asheville and Greensboro, NC; Orange County, CA; Alameda County, CA (Oakland); Santa Clara County, CA (San Jose); San Mateo County, CA (in the Bay Area); and Eagle County, CO (in northwest Colorado).<\/p>\n

Why are rent control laws significant? (even if you live in another city)<\/span><\/h3>\n

While the concept of rent control and rent stabilization is familiar, it has remained a relatively quiet subject, especially in California. <\/span><\/p>\n

The more rent stabilization and rent control topics appear in the news the greater potential effect it has on landlords nationwide. Any rental property owner should be aware of the measures that are being presented to city government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept of rent control, once found mostly in large cities, is spreading to the Bay Area\u2019s suburbs, even though virtually every economist thinks it\u2019s a bad idea<\/em>. – Kathleen Pender, San Francisco Chronicle<\/a><\/p>\n

The best protection a landlord can take to prevent rent control legislation is to avoid huge rent increases that gather media attention and displace families. Every rental property owner should be able to select his rental rate, to cover property expenses, pay taxes, keep up with inflation, and make a profit.<\/p>\n

The trick to increasing rental rates without making enemies, is to do them regularly. Try increasing rent via regular, small \u00a0rent increases in their lease agreement. Small annual rent increases, like $10-$50\/year, allow you to keep up with market rates and avoid a huge rent increase every 5 years that has the potential to displace the current resident. <\/span><\/p>\n

If a lease agreement includes the language that a routine 1-5% rent increase will take place every year, allows your tenant to decide on the affordability of the property prior to moving in and allows them to budget for a rent increase for 12-months.<\/span><\/p>\n
