The City of Concord is now accepting rent adjustment petitions. Petitions will be heard before a Hearing Officer during a rent adjustment hearing as part of Concord’s greater Residential Tenant Protection Program that went into effect earlier this year.
If you are a residential property owner requesting an upward adjustment in rent due to a fair return on investment claim, or you are a residential tenant requesting a downward adjustment in rent due to receiving a rent increase that is not in compliance with the Ordinance, you can now submit a petition for a rent adjustment.
For more information or to make an appointment with Rent Program staff, please visit the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause for Eviction web page.
According to the City of Concord, Tenant/Owner Petitions include:
Tenant Petitions
A tenant may file a petition to adjust the rent to its lawful level if the tenant:
- believes the owner has increased rent above the allowable level,
- has received two or more rent increases in a 12 month period,
- has experienced a decrease in housing services (a service initially provided has been taken away or a space is no longer functional), or
- received a rent increase while property owner has not registered rental property or paid Rent Registry fees
Owner Petitions
An owner may file a petition to adjust the rent to a level in excess of the allowable increase if they believe they are not receiving a fair return on their investment. See 19.40.050(a) for requirements to file a fair return petition
