Prospective Candidates

Tenants and other Berkeley residents who support Rent Control are seeking candidates for the November 2014 Rent Board election. There are five seats on the November ballot; there are two incumbents assumed to be running. All candidates will be vetted and chosen by the Tenants’ Convention taking place on Sunday July 13 at the South Berkeley Senior Center, 2939 Ellis Street, from 1:30-5 pm. Knowledge of and experience with rent control, eviction protections, and other tenants issues is not mandatory, but is certainly a plus.
