Fixing Measure H

In 2022, Measure H won the votes of well-intentioned people who wanted to protect renters. However, out of the 42 pages of the ballot measure, only TWO were about rent control. The rest created a huge bureaucracy run by a biased rent board with a built-in supermajority of tenants, and punished good landlords for keeping rents at reasonable levels. 

​

We have carried out multiple professional surveys of Pasadena voters to find out what needs to be fixed. Our ballot measure will:

​

• Maintain existing rent controls, and guarantee eviction protections that start on day one of a lease.

• Establish a balanced rent board with equal representation of tenants and housing providers.

• Cap the rapidly increasing rent registry fee, which has risen from $91 to $238 in just three years.

• Consolidate the Rent Stabilization Department into City’s Housing Department to improve efficiency and save millions of dollars.

• Rebalance rules for single-family homes, condos and ADUs, to preserve existing tenant protections while restoring rental supply.

• Allow voters to revisit and refine the system in 2038.
