The Rental Housing Committee (RHC) is tasked with a number of duties, includingthe establishment of rules and regulations regarding the implementation of the CSFRA.In this agenda item staff will present draft regulations governing the procedural aspects of filing individual rent adjustmentpetitions under the CSFRA.
Section 1710 of the CSFRA permits a landlord or a tenant to file a petition with the RHC seeking adjustment, either upward or downward, of the rent for any given tenancy in accordance with the standards set forth in the CSFRA and using the procedures set forth in Section 1711 and implementing regulations.The RHC shall determine the petition procedure and petition form format. These draft regulations establish the procedure and requirements for filing a petition, includingwho is authorized to file a petition; the content of the petition forms(the content will change according to which fair return standard will be adopted); distinct requirements for filing for each of the petitions; the right to response; acceptance of petitions; a prehearing settlement conference; and a summary of petition processing.
