Palo Alto's municipal code already includes a rent registry. Unfortunately the City never fully implemented it. It is impossible to really understand what it's like to rent in Palo Alto, or to develop strong public policy without a clear understanding of the data about the number of rental units, the current rent rates, and what housing services are offered. A rent registry would do this!

We are committed to convening organizations and service providers that can help renters in Palo Alto navigate their relationship and rights with their landlord.

We have a zero tolerance policy for tenant harassment.

The average rent in Palo Alto is almost $3,000 per month. With median home prices at $3 Million in the city, subsidized affordable housing is the only way we'll see new neighbors at all income levels.
