The Rent Control Board is composed of five elected members, often referred to as Commissioners. Like City Council members, they are elected officials who have full-time jobs in addition to their Board responsibilities. The Commissioners do not have offices in City Hall. To communicate with the Board, you may contact the Board Secretary at (310) 458-8751 or send a letter to the Commissioners at the Rent Control office.
Commissioners receive and read all letters addressed to them. If a letter asks the Board to act on a particular matter, the letter may be placed on the weekly agenda. Otherwise the letter is sent to the Board along with Board meeting materials for them to review.
Highlights
About Board Meetings: The Board usually meets one or two times per month on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Board meetings are open to the public and are broadcast on the City’s cable TV station. The meetings are held in Council Chambers in City Hall. The agenda is posted in the hall outside the Rent Control office and staff reports are available for review prior to the meeting at the public counter. Staff reports for public hearings or periodic reports are also available.
The Board encourages residents of the City to attend Board meetings, particularly when a public hearing is scheduled so the Commissioners have an opportunity to hear comments on proposed regulations and programs.
Rent Control Board Services: Rent Control staff administer the day-to-day operations of the agency. Rent Control staff can:
- Answer questions about Rent Control Law;
- Provide information about rent controlled properties;
- Advise how much rent may be collected for any specific rent controlled unit;
- Provide information about and referrals to other services in the community;
- Hold hearings regarding individual rent decreases or increases, rent overcharges, rent levels and amenities, and tenant(s) not in occupancy.
Upcoming Meetings: March 18, 2010, April 8, 2010
