Good news for E. Palo Alto tenants

The city of East Palo Alto has long contended that Page Mill Properties is acting outside of the city's ordinance by basing its rent increases on inaccurate rent certificates. Many of the rent certificates show higher amounts than the actual rents being paid in recent years. They should reflect a 3.2 percent maximum as required by East Palo Alto's Rent Stabilization Ordinance, a basis upon which the city of East Palo Alto was founded.
