Pasadena Housing Providers

On June 26th, the Pasadena Rental Housing Board refused to consider the PHP's 5 points that the City Council unanimously recommended they review.


They never intended to treat our requests seriously: the chair of the Board's subcommitee for Charter changes called us a "shadowy" group trying to "bypass" the process, and the Chair of the Rental Board continued to spread false claims about small landlords.


The Rental Board has acted in bad faith to prevent voters from having their say.


So now, we need to return to the City Council on Monday July 8. Our goal is to remind Council members that they are ultimately accountable to us...the tax paying voters who elected them. 


Please try to attend, email (Subject Line: Council Meeting Agenda Item #15) or dial in. Remind the City Council members that we have made reasonable proposals for the November ballot and the Board refuses to allow voters to decide. Remember: ELECTED OFFICIALS WORK FOR US!


Monday, July 8th Agenda Item #15:


Public Meeting: 5:30 P.M.

Council Chamber, Pasadena City Hall

100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249


 Active Computer Dial In



We ask for:

  1. Exempt all Single Family Homes, Condos and Co-Opts, and small time providers with buildings of 4 or fewer units. Specifically protecting all separately alienable properties, and those with specifically permitted ADU's. We simply cannot afford $37,000 relocation fees to move into our own property. 
  2. Adjust the structure of the PRHB to specifically include multi-family landlords. This will add to the depth of knowledge and experience on the Board and reduce the risk of legal challenges to its decisions. 
  3. Similar to Oakland and Santa Monica, split the rental registry fee between tenants and landlords. There is currently no incentive for the Rent Board to keep the fee at a reasonable level, there is no skin in the game for the tenants who benefit from Measure H and zero incentive to encourage cost efficient spending by the board. 
  4. We ask the City Council to prohibit a further expansion of rent control should Costa Hawkins be repealed (Prop. 33) by protecting separately alienable properties. 


Please join us to defend your property rights from activists who have said they want "cancel rent" and "convert rental properties to public housing".


Thank you,
