The Marin County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday afternoon will consider adopting a  just-cause eviction ordinance and other measures to address the area’s housing issues.

At the Feb. 9 meeting, county supervisors are expected to provide staff with next steps in creating policies to prevent the displacement of existing residents and to preserve housing affordability in unincorporated areas. A just-cause eviction measure is among the options being considered.

This kind of ordinance would require rental owners to prove “cause” in court or, in some cases, before a political body every time they need to remove a problem resident.

The California Apartment Association’s North Coast Division and the Marin Income Property Association urge rental property owners to attend and speak out against the just-cause approach.

This portion of the meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in supervisors’ chambers at the county administration building in San Rafael.
