Could this Wednesday be the start of better policymaking for some, at least?

"The Pasadena Rental Housing Board will adopt regulations establishing relocation assistance and services for covered tenants — those subject to no-fault evictions or large rent increases — at their Wednesday, Sept. 27 meeting.

The regulations, proposed by board attorney Goldfarb Lipman, would apply to tenants evicted due to substantial and necessary repairs, owner move-in, government order, or the permanent withdrawal of the unit from the rental market.

Tenants who are forced to move due to large rent increases — in excess of five percent, plus the Annual General Adjustment amount landlords are permitted to increase rent by — would also be covered in the proposed regulations.

Pasadena already requires relocation assistance for some displaced tenants, but the new regulations would expand their eligibility and increase the assistance to renters."
