Concord City Council Vote on JCE + Rent Control

Owners/landlords in Concord now facing grave threats to property rights

Just Cause Eviction and Rent Control have been contentious issues in Concord politics for nearly a decade. Now, final votes on a housing ordinance are imminent and will likely drive rental property investors out of the city completely.

While the public comment period has closed on this issue, please voice your opposition today to JCE and Rent Control via email and it will be included in the public record. Simply copy and paste the email addresses after clicking “Read More”. The City Council will continue its discussion on these issues on Tuesday, October 10th at 6pm in the Concord City Council Chambers.
