On Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 10 and 11, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Concord’s Housing Division will host in-person training sessions for property owners of Concord rental properties to provide guidance on the City’s new Rent Registry program and how to register rental units.
Space is limited to 50 participants per session and registration is highly recommended. Register here.
A recording of the training will be posted on the Housing Rent Registry website after the training sessions.
During the training, staff will provide a presentation on how to register rental units. Property owners may bring their laptops and follow along to familiarize themselves with the system; however, this is not required for the training. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
After the meeting, if property owners feel they would benefit from additional City staff assistance registering their units, staff will be available to schedule future appointments to do so.
In addition to the in-person trainings, Housing staff will also provide a Zoom training session on Thursday, Dec. 19 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., which will also include a Q&A session. A Zoom link will be created and shared on the City Rent Program web page.
I’m waiting for the announcement of door-to-door inspections of every building in Concord to ensure that everyone follows the city’s orders.
Just so everyone is aware in CCC there is a rental inspection division that will make your life miserable. I owned a home in Baypoint (not a bad house) and was hit with this and they made me bring a 1950″s house up to modern code standards for rental and fined me $180 per week that I did not comply. Don’t know if this will be the same but feels a little fishy to me.
Was your rental a section 8 rental?
no, it was a normal rental. I kind of think if it was it wouldn’t be a problem but that is just me recoiling from the hell of that
Just thinking of all the other things ‘staff’ could be doing to better our community. All these silly programs will do nothing to improve the lives of citizens or the quality of life in the city.
Communitarianism in action! Aren’t you glad you are living in this Brave New World! %-|
And this is why I will be selling my house instead of renting it.
You’d have to be crazy to voluntarily be a landlord(housing provider) in California.
Unless I’m your tenant of course.
Ideally, the city’s rental registration web site and rules were so clear that training is not needed. For example, https://www.cityofconcord.org/938/Residential-Rent-Registry-Program seems to be the main “portal” for Concord’s program. The first red flag that I see is that it’s not clear as to what forms of private transactions between a business or person (landlord) and another person (tenant) are regulated by Concord’s ordinance. I see terms such as “Partially Covered Units” and “Fully Covered Units” used without explanation. Is the City of Concord selling insurance or does “coverage” mean if there is a roof on the area where tenants live? If you dive into the registration process you will discover that you need to first e-mail the city to discover how much you will owe. Why isn’t the city willing to be transparent on what the potential fees may be?
Because the City believes it is omnipotent.
I’m glad I sold my Concord rental last year before this idiocy became law. I’m also glad I moved out of Concord. I have a relative with a rental in Concord and the 8 page form that Concord sent out is an invasion of privacy and none of their damn business. This will be ANOTHER rental in Concord that goes away. Idiots.
