Chula Vista Council Hears Report on Changes to Tenant Protection Ordinance
This past Tuesday, December 12, the Chula Vista City Council heard a report from city staff on the Tenant Protection Ordinance and changes that are necessary to comply with state law. The report also included data on no-fault termination notices. To date, the city has only received 28 notices about no-fault termination of tenancy. There have also been no fines for noncompliance this far. As part of the report, city staff stated, in addition to changes required by SB 567, they will be making clarifications to the penalty portion of the ordinance to better define minor and major infractions and the associated penalties. SCRHA will stay engaged in the amendment process. Changes are expected to be presented to Council in February.
