ORDINANCE Draft Administrative Regulations, Draft Fair Rate of Return Appeal Guidelines and the Appeal Form PUBLIC COMMENT EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 24 Public comment is now open on draft Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO) regulations and guidelines through Friday, April 24. The City of Redwood City adopted the TPO in 2025, and it became effective January 1, 2026. The TPO includes requirements for minimum lease terms, just-cause for eviction protections, and tenant relocation assistance. More information about the TPO can be found at www.RedwoodCity.org/TPO. Administrative Regulations To assist with the effective administration of the TPO, the City has developed draft Administrative Regulations that outline procedures for implementation and enforcement of the TPO. Fair Rate of Return Appeal Guidelines and Appeal Form When a tenancy is terminated due to a substantial remodel, landlords must offer the displaced tenant(s) the right to return at the same rental rate that was in effect when the tenancy was terminated plus any increases allowed by State law. However, if a landlord believes they cannot obtain a fair rate of return under these conditions, they may file an appeal with the City. To support the appeal process, the City has developed draft Fair Rate of Return Appeal Guidelines and Appeal Form. Public Comment Period Members of the public are invited to provide comments on the draft Administrative Regulations, Fair Rate of Return Appeal Guidelines and Appeal Form through Friday, April 24.
