Concord City Council to adopt rent stabilization, just cause eviction rules
CONCORD, CA (Feb. 27, 2024) — At its meeting on Tuesday, March 5, the Concord City Council is scheduled to consider the adoption of an ordinance on rent stabilization and just cause for eviction, which it officially introduced on Feb. 13.
The ordinance would amend Concord’s municipal code on residential tenant protection program and increase the “just cause” eviction protections, as well as expand the City’s rent registry and establish a rent stabilization program.
If approved by a majority vote, this ordinance would take effect 30 days after final adoption, on April 4, 2024.
In January 2023, the Council expressed its desire to protect the tenant community from displacement. Since then, it has held seven public meetings on this topic and has heard from dozens of property owners and tenants.
