Moratorium on Oakland Rent Control Exemption Extended
A moratorium on what some are calling a loophole to Oakland’s rent control ordinances is being extended another six months as city officials figure out a permanent solution.
Before the moratorium, the exemption allowed landlords to raise rents after making repairs to their property.
City Council members voted Tuesday for the extension, which will go into effect after the original moratorium — passed in November — expires. It is scheduled for a final reading April 17.
