This is a reminder to complete the Mayoral Renters Survey, especially if you're a renter living in a building where RUBS was implemented!

We stand with the Seattle Ban RUBS campaign! Ratio utility billing systems (RUBS) are costing renters so much money that they're being displaced. It's time to ban this unfair practice.

Not just a problem for Seattle is the predatory "Renter's Benefit Package" every local leasing agency now forces on renters.
There are zero "benefits." It's $40 extra per month we have to pay to these companies as a contract of adhesion.
Please ban them as widely as possible.

Do you live in affordable housing in Seattle?
We are co-hosting an event with @jmaddenmass.bsky.social
that centers the needs and voices of affordable housing residents.
Email sharethecities @ gmail dot com to be invited to the event on February 11th.
The Renters’ Commission urges the City of Seattle to ban Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS). RUBS undermines consumer protections for renters, lacks transparency in utility billing, and makes Seattle less affordable for renters. See our letter here: www.seattle.gov/documents/Bo...

Graphic from the Seattle Renters’ Commission with the Chief Sealth logo at the top. Headline reads, “Help shape the future of Seattle social housing.” A colorful illustration of buildings appears next to the words “Seattle Social Housing.” Below, bold text reads, “Board applications open through Sunday, December 14th, 11:59 PM.” At the bottom left, text reads, “For more information, scan the QR code or go to tinyurl.com/SSHDapp.” A large yellow-framed QR code appears at the bottom right.
Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved renter-led, permanently affordable social housing. The charter for Seattle Social Housing designates 7 of 13 board seats for renters. Two renter seats are currently vacant. The Commission is accepting applications through Dec. 14.
