The report <br />does provide valuable information about the potential impacts of the initiative’s rent control provisions and <br />reflects the city’s commitment to informed decision-making. <br />However, the report focuses primarily on rent control while providing limited economic analysis of the <br />initiative’s broader regulatory requirements, including expanded just-cause eviction mandates, relocation <br />assistance requirements, right-to-return provisions, anti-harassment regulations, tenant safety plan <br />requirements and buyout restrictions. <br />These provisions apply to a much broader segment of Redwood City’s rental housing stock than rent control <br />itself, including many single-family rentals, post-1995 multifamily housing, ADUs, and affordable housing <br />communities. <br />I respectfully request that the City Council direct staff to prepare a supplemental Section 9212 report evaluating <br />the economic impacts of these non-rent-control provisions using the same analytical framework applied to rent <br />control. <br />Regards, <br />Lori Kentzell <br />CA DRE License #01394214 <br />Director of Compliance & Training <br />Prodesse Property Group <br />655 Mariners Island Blvd., #301 <br />San Mateo, CA 94404 <br />(650) 430-9963 <br />Lori.Kentzell@eprodesse.com <br />Visit our rental portal at http://residential.eprodesse.com <br />Some people who received this message don't often get email from lori.kentzell@eprodesse.com.
