OAKLAND — For the next six months, Oakland landlords won’t be able to raise rents on properties under rent control after making repairs to them.
Oakland and San Francisco are the only two cities in the state which have “substantial rehabilitation exemptions” to rent stabilization ordinances, according to the report supporting the moratorium proposed by City Council members Dan Kalb and Rebecca Kaplan. Council members voted Tuesday to impose the moratorium on granting the exemptions.
