Renters represent a significant portion of the Newark community, and their concerns are a top priority for the City.

In response to housing barriers highlighted in the 2023–2031 Housing Element, the City is working on new tenant protections by engaging with both tenants and property owners to identify how to improve local housing policies for everyone. 

Draft language is currently available for public comments from May 21 to June 4. The input provided will inform tenant protection policies and programs that will be brought to the City Council for review and approval.
