Concord's recently implemented tenant protection program faces renewed debate as councilmember Pablo Benavente is accused of favoring property owners over tenants. This program, which began in April, includes strict regulations like a 3% rent increase cap and improved eviction protections. Benavente, in his early term, has requested a review of these policies to address voter concerns about rent caps and single-family home rentals. His intent is to balance interests from both sides of the housing debate, reinforcing his commitment to serve all constituents.
I truly believe that is leadership - trying to find that balance and hear everybody. I owe it to the people who voted for me.
Concord's complex set of regulations for renters took effect in April, increasing "just cause" eviction protections to most of the city's tenants.
