Civic coalitions have submitted 6,395 voter signatures to the Redwood City Clerk in an effort to pressure the City Council to put a rent control resolution on the November ballot.

According to the Affordable Redwood City organization, the proposal seeks to keep the city affordable, diverse and vibrant for those who live, work or study there.

In this regard, it details that the rent control resolution:

  • Keeps Redwood City rents affordable and protects tenants from massive rent increases.
  • Provides a fair rental return for our local family landlords.
