Welcome to Burbank FAIR Housing PAC. 

At Burbank Fair Housing PAC, we stand for FAIR and PRACTICAL solutions to Burbank’s housing crisis. We stand against rent caps and a rent registry.
 
FAIR and PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS:
  • AB 1482 protections are adequate, fair, and already in place.
  • Instead of spending $Millions of city funds on a rent registry that doesn't help tenants, the city should use those funds to create a housing subsidy program for tenants in need.
  • Let supply and demand control the housing market.
  • If you want rent control, the City of Los Angeles is next door

     

 
Rent control:
= more housing shortages
= unkept rental properties
= benefits middle and high income renters, who do not need assistance, a loss of income that could be used to benefit all tenants and the community as a whole.
= creates a two class system, established tenants with low rent and new tenants with much higher rent.

Rent Registry:
= More Bureaucracy
= Will cost the city $Millions of dollars!
= Does NOTHING to help tenants
= Shows the same data that is already freely accessible 
= A communist tool for power-grab
= Can lead to personal data breech of thousands of renters

TENANT INTERVIEW: Why I voted against Rent Control in 2020!
A tenant’s powerful story on why rent control hurts more than it helps.
A group of socialist activists, claiming to represent Burbank tenants, is misleading the public by promoting ideas from the book Abolish Rent, which encourages tenants to seize control and deny property owners of their Constitutional rights. Their approach is woefully flawed and ignores key facts. Not all members are tenants or Burbank residents, and they do not speak for most Burbank tenants. The 2020 election results for Measure RC show that 63% of Burbank voters, including many renters, opposed rent control. Below are the authentic stories of Burbank tenants regarding rent control: 
The Burbank City Council has primarily heard from struggling or disgruntled tenants, often represented by a socialist activist group that labels housing providers as "greedy slumlords." These activists wrongly assume that rent increases stem from exploitation for profit. In reality, most Burbank housing providers face rising costs, including a 30% increase in insurance premiums, ongoing building maintenance, new regulations, and mandatory earthquake retrofitting. Unable to absorb these expenses, many small, family-owned property managers must pass some costs to tenants. Without a way to recover these costs, small "mom-and-pop" housing providers may be forced to sell to large corporate entities, who could evict tenants, renovate, and re-rent units at luxury prices.

Should the Burbank City Council penalize all housing providers for the actions of a few? Recent data shows only 8 enforceable claims filed with the Burbank Housing Authority, representing just 0.03% of the approximately 26,000 rental units in Burbank. Is it fair to punish 100% of housing providers for the misdeeds of 0.03%? Here are their stories:
