Mountain View to hold special meeting on rent regs

The Mountain View City Council on Tuesday, Dec. 1, will hold a special meeting to consider rent regulations.

The hearing, set for 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 500 Castro St., follows a study session last month where council members expressed opposition to rent control, just-cause eviction, and a moratorium on rent increases.

The threat of onerous policies in Mountain View remains, however.

This past Sunday, for example, tenant advocates in Mountain View held a rally calling for rent control.

The City Council, though, continues to work with the community and its local housing providers to find other ways address housing concerns, including requiring leases and offering mediation to help resolve disputes between rental owners and residents.
