[BoulderCouncilHotline] Consideration to formally endorse Residential Eviction Prevention the letter

[Joseph, Junie]

Dear CAC/ Hotline,

I would like to urge CAC to consider a brief discussion under Matters to formally endorse this Residential Eviction Prevention Letter, at our upcoming Council Meeting.

Over the last few months, the Mayor and I have reached out to BARHA and other stakeholders included in this Letter, in support of our renters. Consequently, we are hoping that the entire Council will formally join the Boulder County Commissioners, our Colorado legislators, and other stakeholders who have shown their support for tenant-based assistance for renters in the City of Boulder.

As noted in the Letter, we understand the ability to provide this relief will require landlords to decide terms on a case by case basis. This is not an action meant to impede their business practices and decision-making; it is an opportunity to collectively stabilize our economy.

We are encouraging landlords to support their struggling renters, by offering them support, which may include a lower rent payment, extension of lease, fee waivers, partial use of security deposits, and non-eviction based on the terms of an agreed upon payment plan. This is a major step in maintaining the health and wellbeing of Boulderites and our economy.

We would like to commend the institutions that have already pledged their support of this effort (please see the letter attached). We are encouraging all Boulder area landlords to participate in this pledge to assist their renters, by endorsing this letter.

Thank you!
Junie
