Renter Protections Process
Renter protections are broadly defined. They can include programs like the City’s Rental Housing Code program, which regulates rental properties in the city by creating minimum habitability standards. Renter protections can also include anti-discrimination protections like the ones found in Eugene’s Human Rights Code. They can even include rent stabilization and limitations on no-cause evictions like those found in SB 608 (2019). The recommendations for renter protections made by the Housing Policy Board are focused on: 1) Protecting renters and vulnerable populations and 2) Preventing displacement.
