An effort at rent stabilization and just cause for eviction in the East Bay city of Concord has been suspended only days after it was adopted by the City Council. The rent stabilization ordinance came to a halt when the city clerk received information about plans for a petition to place this issue on the November ballot.The plan adopted by the Concord City Council just last week would impose a rent stabilization on multifamily rental complexes of two or more units, built before February1995.
A Concord resident who maintains East Bay rental properties says this ordinance has done more to divide Concord residents than support tenants."At the end of the last council meeting regarding this issue, the mayor sat up there in his position in front of his placard, and said "I told you guys eight years ago when this was on the ballot and didn't pass, when the city did it, it would be worse for the homeowners, and now it is.'" Randolph Hopkins told KTVU.
