1 Jesse Arreguín Councilmember, District 4 CONSENT CALENDAR October 7, 2014 To: From: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Councilmember Jesse Arreguín Tenant Screening Fee Calculation RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the first reading of the proposed Ordinance designating the Rent Stabilization Board as the entity responsible for calculating and publishing the annual maximum allowable tenant screening fee for the purposes of the Tenant Screening Fee ordinance (BMC 13.78). INTRODUCTION: On April 26, 2011, Berkeley City Council unanimously adopted a Tenant Screening Fee ordinance, which went into effect January The ordinance was enacted to protect prospective tenants by advancing the enforcement of a state law governing the amount and use of tenant screening fees, which is effectively unenforceable in most cases. Adopted in 1996 by the California Legislature, Civil Code Section set a cap on the amount that can be charged for a screening fee at $30.00, which can be increased annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, no official entity is required to regularly publish an ongoing, authoritative calculation, creating confusion regarding the maximum allowable amount among tenants and landlords. While the California Apartment Association (CAA) annually calculates the screening fee for its members, the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) re-publishes CAA s calculation only on occasion. The DCA last listed the amount in 2012 at $ By designating the Rent Stabilization board as the entity to calculate and publish the maximum allowable tenant screening fee locally, it would provide an official and authoritative calculation, creating clarity and convenience for both tenants and landlords who may not be familiar or affiliated with CAA. Additionally, the Rent Board is the most appropriate entity given their existing relationship with both tenants and landlord citywide. The Rent Board would calculate the maximum allowable tenant screening fee using the CPI pursuant to California Civil Code Section (b): 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley, CA Tel: (510) TDD: (510) Fax: (510) jarreguin@cityofberkeley.info

3 Attachment 1 Jesse Arreguín Councilmember, District 4 CONSENT CALENDAR April 26, 2011 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmember Jesse Arreguin Subject: Tenant Screening Fees Ordinance, Adding BMC Chapter RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the first reading of an Ordinance adding Berkeley Municipal Code Section 13.78, requiring property owners to disclose to applicants for rental housing, information regarding California state law requirements on the collection of apartment screening fees. BACKGROUND: At the September 28, 2010 meeting, the Berkeley City Council unanimously referred proposed guidelines and disclosures for rental application screening fees to the City Manager for the creation of a Tenant Screening Fee ordinance. The attached Tenant Screening Fees Ordinance is a result of discussions with the City Manager s Office, City Attorney, and the Rent Stabilization Program and was drafted by the City Attorney s office. The proposed ordinance does not conflict with state law and does not change the requirements or legal rights that tenants and owners have under state law. Rather it advances implementation of state law by requiring a copy of California Civil Code Section (the state tenant screening fee law) and information regarding the current maximum allowable fee as set by state law, be given to all applicants who pay an application fee for rental housing. The ordinance also provides a private right of action for individual tenants if an owner is found to be in violation of the ordinance. Tenant screening fees are fees that are charged to applicants for rental housing by a property owner or their agent to be used to purchase a consumer credit report and to validate, review, or process an application for rental property. There have been cases, including in Berkeley, where owners have charged more than what is required to conduct a credit check or rental history background check or cover the administrative costs to process the application and the fees have been used as a way to generate additional income. In response to the improper use of apartment application fees, in 1996 the California State Legislature added California Civil Code Section to provide tenant screening fee protections, which set a limit on the total amount of apartment application fees that can be charged. The maximum allowable fee that can be charged by state law is currently $40.73 and the fee must be adjusted every year based on the increase in 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley, CA Tel: (510) TDD: (510) Fax: (510) jarreguin@cityofberkeley.info
4 the Consumer Price Index. The law also requires that fees only be used to cover actual out-of-pocket costs to conduct a credit or rental history background check and that unused portion of the fees must be returned, and that landlords provide and itemized receipt of those costs upon request. Though California Civil Code Section provides comprehensive tenant screening fee protections, they are ineffective for the following reasons: 1. Most tenants are unaware of such protections 2. The enforcement of Section requires the tenant to file in small claims court, a process requiring a filing fee that costs nearly as much as the screening fee 3. There is no penalty to the landlord for non-compliance with the law prescribed in Section The proposed Tenant Screening Fees Ordinance would advance implementation of current state law by creating a local requirement for disclosure of state law requirements to all tenants who pay fees to apply for an apartment in Berkeley. Additionally, the Ordinance provides penalties for non-compliance with the new city disclosure requirements. Also, based on concerns raised by the City Manager regarding limited financial and staff resources, this Ordinance does not require any City staff resources or the expenditure of any City funds for implementation. It is up to the individual tenant to seek judicial relief in order to seek penalties for non-compliance. Providing a tenant who applies for an apartment in Berkeley a copy of California Civil Code Section and information on the maximum allowable fee not only educates tenants about their existing rights in state law, but also encourages property owners to abide by state law and gives tenants the ability to seek judicial relief if an owner is not in compliance with the City law. Other State and Local Laws Other states have already taken similar steps to better provide tenant screening fee protections. For example, Oregon and Washington require written notice to the renter providing information about their rights as applicants and the screening process.
