The Santa Barbara City Council on Tuesday decided against pursuing a rent control policy, opting instead to examine alternative approaches to the city’s housing shortage.
Santa Barbara will now take a closer look at policies including enhanced mediation and rental inspections. The council also wants a task force to study a potential just-cause eviction ordinance, however, council members expressed reservations about the policy.
