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 Ordinance amends the Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40 to increase “just cause” eviction protections, expand the City’s rent registry, and establish a rent stabilization program. 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.
