Residents are eligible for rent control if they meet certain criteria and have paid the Administrative Fee for that fiscal year. The fee for the period of July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 is $25 per eligible space. Full payment must be received by September 5, 2017. Download CVMC 9.50 Administrative Fee FAQ.
