2.HH. POLICIES TO STRENGTHEN RENTERS' ACCESS TO HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES [J. ERICKSON, S. SHYNE, Y. QUARKER, A. LOVANO]:
SUBJECT: The City Council will consider directing staff and the City Attorney to research and analyze policies to strengthen renters' access to housing opportunities.
RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Direct staff and the City Attorney to research and analyze policies to strengthen renters' access to housing opportunities; and 2) If the research determines that Municipal Code amendments are appropriate and defensible, return to City Council with the results of the analysis and an ordinance for further consideration.
I support efforts by the City to improve renters' access to housing by restricting intrusive demands by landlords for information on prospective tenants' credit history, participation in rental assistance programs, and baseless eviction proceedings for use in evaluation of rental applications.
