PURPOSE. The City of San Leandro Rent Review Board (Board) <br />consists of five members comprised of two tenants, two landlords that own rental property in <br />San Leandro and one individual that is neither a tenant nor a landlord. The Board is currently <br />required to have one landlord member reside in the City of San Leandro. <br />The Board has had a vacancy for one landlord board member since Spring 2013. Staff <br />has not received any applications from any potential landlord board members that reside in <br />the City of San Leandro despite diligent outreach efforts. The City desires to permit both <br />landlord Rent Review Board Members to reside outside the City of San Leandro because the <br />Rent Review Board can operate more effectively without vacant positions and the goals of the <br />Rent Review Ordinance can still be met with two landlords that do not reside in the City of San <br />Leandro but are still qualified to serve the purposes of the Rent Review Ordinance. <br />SECTION 2. AMENDMENT OF CODE. Section 1-3-1400 shall be amended in its <br />entirety to read as follows: <br />The Rent Review Board shall consist of five (5) members. Two (2) members of the <br />Board shall be tenants that rent residential property in San Leandro, two (2) members shall be <br />landlords that own rental property in San Leandro, and one member shall be a San Leandro <br />resident that is neither a tenant nor a landlord. <br />SECTION 3.SEVERABILITY.
