Richmond became the first city in Contra Costa County to adopt rent and eviction control policies last year. However, Ordinance 21-15 N.S., adopting rent and eviction controls, was later repealed by referendum petition as of November 5, 2015. Per the Richmond election code, the City Council may not adopt the same ordinance for one year.
