Staff received direction from City Council to proceed with amendments to the Relocation Assistance and Minimum Lease Terms Ordinances and to further explore Right of Return options. The City Council paused further actions related to the Tenant Protection Ordinance Amendments in May 2024 while the status of a pending rent control ballot initiative was determined. In July 2024 the San Mateo County elections office deemed that the ballot measure had not collected sufficient signatures to proceed to the ballot. In January 2025 the City Council directed staff to resume work on the Tenant Protection Ordinance amendments. In Summer 2025, staff held two focus groups with landlord and legal aid representatives to refine the right to return policy recommendation. On November 10, 2025, the City Council approved the Tenant Protection Ordinance, which includes updated minimum lease term and relocation assistance requirements, and just cause for eviction protections. The Tenant Protection Ordinance went into effect on January 1, 2026.
