Create a coalition interested in creating a rental registry in the City (or expanding County Ordinance to create a full registry). (1-2 years prior to desired implementation). Because the County elected not to include a full registry in their current ordinance, it may be easier to get traction for the idea in the City until a couple of years have passed under the County’s proposed rental ordinance.

Explore funding availability in the private sector to augment public funds. Create an economic case for a rental registry.

Request meetings with City / County officials, asking them to agendize a rental registry (likely in conjunction with a just cause ordinance or other reform). (1-1.5 years prior to desired implementation). Explore where and how to staff the ongoing operations of the rental registry, and how nonprofits can assist.

Meet with City Attorney / County Counsel to discuss proposal and offer templates from around the state. (1 year prior to desired implementation)

Raise awareness and mobilize residents to show up for campaign, likely including 3-6 meetings at the City Council / Board of Supervisors during deliberations on the issue. (1 year prior to desired implementation)
