The Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board hopes to amend the existing rent stabilization ordinance in November to enshrine rights to form tenant unions and once again attempt to eliminate a carve-out for golden duplexes.
Golden duplexes are owner-occupied units in Berkeley where a tenant lives in the adjoining unit.
The act also enshrines the right to form tenant associations, meaning tenants can demand that a landlord meet with their tenant union and negotiate over grievances.
