Rent Stabilization in the City of Santa Barbara
OCTOBER 6, 2026 IS A HISTORIC DAY FOR SANTA BARBARA TENANTS!
The City of Santa Barbara has passed a strong Rent Stabilization Ordinance, a victory made possible by the countless tenants, organizations, organizers, and community members who stood together and held onto the hope that one day, Santa Barbara would have rent stabilization.
This has been a generational fight that is built through years of organizing, educating, knocking doors, making calls, sharing stories, and building community power!
This ordinance will have a lasting impact on tenants across our city. It is a reminder that when people’s power comes together, organizes, and refuses to accept displacement as inevitable, change is possible.
To every tenant, organization, organizer, and community member who showed up and kept fighting: this victory belongs to you!
