Effort to modify Mountain View rent control law heading to ballot

The Mountain View city clerk on Thursday certified that a CAA-supported measure that would make important changes to the city’s rent control law has qualified to appear on the ballot in 2020.

The measure — the Mountain View Renter, Homeowner, and Taxpayer Protection Act — aims to fix many of the unfair, costly and unworkable provisions of the city’s rent control ordinance, which was adopted as Measure V in 2016.

The measure qualified despite fierce opposition from the Mountain View Tenants Coalition that included harassment and verbal and physical altercations with volunteers collecting signatures.
