Tenant Right to Repair ballot question
Summary
A petition-driven initiative to let tenants make repairs to their buildings was slated for the November 3, 2026 ballot, but the council voted down the resolution placing it there after the City Attorney's office flagged legal problems. The petition itself was found sufficient and adopted earlier in the meeting.

Impact analysis
If it had reached the ballot and passed, renters could have handled repairs themselves and deducted costs from rent.
Landlords and tenant advocates who supported the ballot referral lost their chance to put the question before voters this November.
