Speak During Public Comment at San Leandro Council Regarding Proposed Rent Registry

This proposed ordinance is the last item on the agenda for the council meeting on Monday, March 17th at 7:00pm.

Please attend this meeting and speak out during public comment on agenda item 10.b against this proposed ordinance:

The City of San Leandro’s proposed ordinance to establish a mandatory rent registry for rental housing providers is an unnecessary and burdensome requirement. Rental data can already be accessed through existing channels, including business licenses, the county assessor's office, and title companies, making an additional registry redundant. Forcing rental owners to submit information to the city creates administrative inefficiencies and adds unnecessary compliance costs without demonstrating clear benefits. Instead of imposing new regulations, the city should leverage existing data sources to gather rental market insights while respecting the privacy and operational concerns of rental housing providers.

Agenda Item 10.b

First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of San Leandro City Council Amending San Leandro Municipal Code to Add Chapter 4-45 Rental Registry and Direction from City Council on Other Housing Protections.
