UPDATE: CONCORD Rent Stabilization
& Just Cause for Eviction

Concord City Council adopted an amended Residential Tenant Protection Program that went into effect on April 19, 2024.

The goal of the new regulations is to stabilize the community and minimize displacement of residents, while also allowing property owners to make a fair return on their investments.
