Given <br />the staff transition and training, the City retained ECHO Housing to continue to provide administrative <br />support for the Rent Review Program. <br />Analysis <br />In prior Rent Review Program Evaluation Reports there was an analysis of asking rents in the San <br />Leandro market. This analysis was based on data from RealFacts, a company that compiled rental <br />market data. Since the last evaluation report was published, this company is no longer in operation. <br />Staff is researching replacement data services and has not found an equivalent one to date. Given that, <br />staff does not have an analysis of rental market data for these periods, but will hopefully have it for the <br />next annual report. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·City’s Municipal Code: Title IV, Chapter 32, Article 5, section 4-32-500 requires that an annual <br />review of the Rent Review Program be prepared by the Rent Review Board (Board) for the City <br />Council. <br />Previous Actions <br />·The Rent Review Ordinance was adopted in April 2001. The Municipal Code was amended in <br />March 2002, October 2003, July 2005, and March 2015. The Rent Review Ordinance was most <br />recently amended in March 2016. <br />·The Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance was adopted in September 2017. Implementation <br />began in October 2017. <br />Board/Commission Review and Actions <br />·Rent Review Board Hearing: At the August 28, 2018 meeting the Rent Review Board reviewed <br />the two Annual Rent Review Program Evaluations and requested that City staff forward the <br />evaluations to City Council for review and approval. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachments to Related Legislative File <br />·Rent Review Program Evaluation for July 2016 - June 2017 <br />·Rent Review Program Evaluation for July 2017 - June 2018 <br />PREPARED BY: Maryann Sargent, Senior Housing Specialist, Community Development Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/11/2018
