CASE 1046 - 941 Shorepoint Ct., Apt. F231 No Committee review. Prior to the RRAC hearing, the tenant and landlord agreed to a rent increase between 0-5%, effective August 1, 2018. 7-I. CASE 1048 - 941 Shorepoint Ct., Apt. F307 Tenant: Carol Barrette Landlord: Katie Edwards Proposed rent increases: Month-to-month option: $686.00 (30.5%) Lease option: $109.00 (4.8%) Effective August 1, 2018 Ms. Barrette informed the Committee that she had lived in her apartment for about two years. She said her mother was ill and she may need to stay with her at some point in the near future, but was unsure when. As a result, she needed the flexibility a month-to- month lease offers. She said that the month-to-month rent increase offer provided by the landlords seemed excessive and would present a financial burden for her. Member Murray restated Ms. Barrette's situation and asked what she thought a fair rent increase offer would be. Ms. Barrette said she thought a 4% ($109) rent increase offer was fair. Ms. Edwards said she understands and sympathizes with Ms. Barrette's situation. She proposed a $217 (9.9%) increase for a month-to-month agreement. She explained that month-to-month agreements create uncertainty and increased costs for housing providers. Member Murray confirmed that the rent increase offer presented by Ms. Edwards would increase the rent from $2,199 to $2,416 per month. Ms. Barrette stated that she had to pay utilities in addition to rent. After hesitating for a moment, she said she would be able to pay Ms. Edwards' proposed increase.

RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee/2018-07-02.pdf,4 | RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-07-02 | 4 | Approved Minutes July 2, 2018 Vice Chair Sullivan-Sariñana asked Ms. Barrette to confirm that she found Ms. Edwards' proposed increase acceptable. Ms. Barrette said that she would rather not pay that much of an increase. Vice Chair Sullivan-Sariñana clarified his question, asking her if she was able to pay the increase. Ms. Barrette said she would be able to pay it, as she would probably only be there a couple more months. Chair Cambra restated that she would be okay paying this increase if she were to stay in the unit only two months, but asked if it would be okay if she had to stay longer, as she had previously stated she was not sure how long she would have to stay. Ms. Barrette said that the longer she had to pay the increase the harder it would be for her. She expressed skepticism about why the management would have increased expenses by providing her a month-to-month lease, as she was already an in-place tenant, and thought the newly proposed increase was still excessive considering that she was already in-place. Member Murray clarified what Ms. Barrette was currently paying - $2,199 rent, plus $50 pet rent, plus garbage, water, water heating, and an administrative fee, all of which come out to several hundred dollars in addition to the rent. Ms. Edwards asked the Committee why they were questioning Ms. Barrette's original statement that she would be fine with the $217 (9.9%) increase. Chair Cambra explained that attending the public hearing and discussing a rent increase could cause pressure on the parties, so the Committee wanted to ensure that the tenant could genuinely afford the increase, and explore the issue in greater detail. He alluded to the fact that she said she could afford the proposed increase for two months, but that may be different if it were raised to that level for six months. Member Murray added that the goal of the hearing was to have the parties come to agreements that would work long-term, and not rush people into making agreements that may later unravel. Ms. Barrette added that she … | RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee/2018-07-02.pdf |

F309 Tenants: Emily Abad & Courtane Stanton Landlord: Katie Edwards Proposed rent increases: Month-to-month option: $694.00 (31.2%) Lease option: $111.00 (5.0%) Effective August 1, 2018 No Committee review.

G110 Tenant: Deborah Golay Landlord: Katie Edwards Proposed rent increases: Month-to-month option: $521.00 (31.2%) Lease option: $83.00 (5.0%) Effective August 1, 2018 No Committee review. The tenant did not appear at the hearing. The rent increase will go into effect as proposed, with both the month-to-month and lease options available to the tenant. 8. PUBLIC COMMENT, NON-AGENDA ITEMS, NO. 2. a. Stewart Chen congratulated the Committee on its high success rate in resolving cases. He expressed a possible need for more outreach to the Chinese-speaking community about the Rent Stabilization Program and RRAC rent review process. 9. MATTERS INITIATED Program staff reminded the Committee they are scheduled to vote on a Chair and Vice Chair. As there was a member absent the Committee expressed reservations about voting. Motion and second to table the vote to the next regular meeting on August 6, 2018 (Murray and Sullivan-Sariñana). Motion passed 4-0. City Attorney staff added that the vote also served to suspend the rules that the annual vote for Chair and Vice Chair would happen in July. Program staff requested Committee member confirmations of their availability for the annual training on July 23, 2018. All but Member Murray confirmed their availability for that day. Program staff informed the Committee that staff would send additional details about the annual training before that training date. Page 5 of 6 | RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee/2018-07-02.pdf |
