Rent Registration. The procedures for registration shall be established in this Part and the Regulations. All registration requirements are subject to California Civil Code Section 1947.7, as may be amended. The Landlord shall complete and submit to the Director a registration for each Rent Stabilized Unit on a City approved form, annually unless some other interval is specified by the City in the Regulations.

B.

Copy of Registration to Tenant. If requested by the City, each Landlord shall provide to an adult member of the Tenant Household of a Rent Stabilized Unit a true and correct copy of the completed registration form that pertains to their Rent Stabilized Unit within ten (10) days of submission to the Director. The Landlord may redact any information that does not pertain to that Rent Stabilized Unit except the name and address of the Landlord.

C.

Regulations. The Regulations adopted by the City Manager for the implementation and administration of this Chapter 17.23 may address the contents and submission of registrations, including deadline for submissions by Landlords.

D.

Implementation of an Alternate Registry Procedure. Notwithstanding Section 17.23.900.A, the City Council by resolution may, at any time after the second annual registration cycle is complete, change to another interval for, or vacancy-based, registration.

E.

Landlord Tenant Collusion. It shall be a violation of this Chapter to report an amount of Rent for a Rent Stabilized Unit to the Director other than the actual amount paid by the Tenant Household for the use and occupancy of the Rent Stabilized Unit, or in the case of a Rental Voucher Unit, the sum of the rent paid by the Tenant and government agency.

F.

Upon failure to submit the registration or re-registration for a Rent Stabilized Unit required pursuant to the Regulations within thirty (30) days of the date the registration or re-registration is due, the Landlord shall pay a late registration fee as set forth in the schedule of fees adopted by resolution of the City Council.
