# Pasadena Rental Housing Board Meeting: October 15, 2026

The Pasadena Rental Housing Board held a special meeting on October 15, 2026. The board held a study session on possible standards for “substantial compliance” with rent-stabilization requirements, including good-faith efforts, notice and opportunities to cure, treatment of new property owners, and possible limits on excess-rent restitution. No decision was made on those standards. The board tabled proposed changes to public-comment rules. It approved a resolution returning meetings to City Council Chambers; because of space constraints, members also agreed to cancel the November 19 meeting, with other holiday-period meeting dates discussed. The board received training on upward rent-adjustment petitions and heard a director’s update on possible point-of-sale disclosures for new property owners and research on expiring affordable-housing covenants. The transcript includes an item on the 2027 security-deposit interest rate but does not provide a rate or clearly record its disposition. No procurement activity was identified: there were no contract awards, solicitations, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals.
