Background At the February 9, 2023, HRC meeting, the commission considered the recommendations of an ad hoc subcommittee (Vice Chair Eberle & Commissioner Kraus) responding to a Council referral to examine current city rental protections. A series of eight renter recommendations were considered and passed by the Commission (Attachment). Discussion Upon review of the renter protection recommendations after the HRC meeting, city staff felt that there was a lack of clarity in HRC Recommendation #6 in regards to the statement “not owned by corporations” and what it modified in the recommendation. The ad hoc subcommittee revisited the recommendation and in reviewing Palo Alto Municipal Code 9.68.035 determined that the phrase “not owned by corporations” should be struck. Recommendation Passed on February 9, 2023: Recommend to Council to expand the City-wide relocation assistance to multi-unit buildings with less than 10 units, not owned by corporations. Not including duplexes where one unit is owner occupied. Action at this meeting The commission is being asked to review and take action on a revision of the following recommendation with the revised text shown as crossed out. Proposed Modified Recommendation: Council to expand the City-wide relocation assistance to multi- unit buildings with less than 10 units, not owned by corporations. Not including duplexes where one unit is owner occupied. 1 Packet Pg. 6 Rental Protection Recommendations from the Human Relations Commission to the City Council, voted and passed by the Human Relations Commission at their meeting on 2/9/2023: 1. Council to direct PAMP and Project Sentinel to increase community outreach regarding the availability of the non-binding Palo Alto Mediation Program. Although the program is highly effective for landlord/tenant dispute resolution, it could benefit from greater community awareness. The HRC recommends that PAMP and Project Sentinel set up information sessions at the city libraries periodically; and that staff update local online communities – particularly on Nextdoor. 2. Council to direct staff to explore ways to ensure that all rental leases issued to renters in the City of Palo Alto include the City’s Mandatory Response Clause. 3. Council authorizes that the proposed Rental Survey Program move aggressively forward with the necessary funding and staffing. 4. Council to direct staff to expand outreach and consider penalties for landlords who fail to register all their properties. These penalties can be affected by an amendment of the City’s Mandatory Response Clause ordinance or as part of the new Rental Survey Program. 5. Council to patch the gaps left by California State law AB14824: 1) Cover renters who have lived in their units less than one year; 2) Include eviction protection to units that are single-family homes not owned by a corporation. 6. Council to expand the City-wide relocation assistance to multi-unit buildings with less than 10 units, not owned by corporations. Not including duplexes where one unit is owner occupied. 7. Recommends that Council proceed with a Fair Chance Ordinance. The HRC agrees with the PTC in limiting landlords’ ability to inquire about an applicant’s criminal history and the development of a Fair Chance Ordinance. Two cities have passed such over the past two years – Berkeley and Oakland; are considered ‘best practice ordinances.’ No one has taken leadership in Santa Clara County. 8. Recommends that Council the recommends the implementation of a ‘Proactive Rental Inspection Programs.’ These are powerful renter protection tools, and are being explored by neighboring jurisdictions.
