Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 5 Tenant Protection Impacts <br />2. Tenant Protection Impacts <br />This Chapter assesses the potential economic and financial implications of the <br />non-rent control tenant protections of the proposed Ordinance on Redwood <br />City’s housing market. These include stronger requirements related to tenant <br />evictions, relocation and right-to-return, and tenant safety plans for repairs, <br />construction or substantial renovations. Because many of these provisions are <br />event-triggered and/or may only apply in specific circumstances (e.g., depending <br />on property conditions, tenant circumstances, and owner decisions), they can be <br />more difficult to quantify in direct economic terms relative to rent stabilization. <br />This analysis therefore does not assume that every potential impact will occur in <br />every case. <br />Table 1 provides an overview of how the proposed Ordinance’s tenant protection <br />provisions, including rent stabilization, compare with the existing State (Tenant <br />Protection Act or TPA) and Redwood City (Tenant Protection Ordinance or TPO) <br />requirements. As shown, for the non-rent control provisions, the proposed <br />Ordinance would apply to more types of housing, including single family and two- <br />unit multi-family homes, deed restricted affordable housing, and some mobile <br />homes. The proposed Ordinance also provides additional requirements for unit <br />types where the TPA and / or TPO already provide some level of tenant <br />protection, as described in further detail in this chapter. <br />8.A. - Page 64 of 168 <br />74
