MORE BUREAUCRACY
- Rent Stabilization Board
- Hearing officers
- Rental registry
More Bureaucracy. More Cost. Fewer Choices.
The City’s proposal could create a permanent rent control program with rent caps, a 2025 base rent, petition hearings, a Rent Stabilization Board, hearing officers, a rental registry, new registration fees, new enforcement rules and new legal exposure for small housing providers.
MORE COST
- Registration fees
- Compliance
- Administration
FEWER CHOICES
- More pressure on Santa Barbara’s already limited rental housing market
Small Providers, Not Wall Street
We represent the small businesses and local providers who keep our community running. Unlike large corporate entities, we are not moving toward permanent rent control. We are focused on real affordability and the common sense solutions our neighbors need to thrive.

Rent Control Sounds Simple. The Consequences Are Not.
Adopting a permanent rent control program will not lower insurance costs or reduce maintenance expenses. It will create more rules for the people who provide rental housing, making it harder for small local providers to stay in business and harder for residents to find affordable homes.
