Supplemental
Report: Vacancy Increases
The
following report has been prepared by ACTION based upon data from
the records of the Santa Monica Rent Control Board. The data covers
units rented from the time period January 1, 2001 through May
31, 2001. There were a total of 823 units reported Citywide for
this time period. This report organizes the apartment rental units
based upon the Zone they are in (see the accompanying zone map)
and the number of bedrooms in the units.
ACTION also looked to see if there were any trends in rents either
up or down from January 1, 2001 through May 31, 2001. The conclusions
drawn from the ACTION study is that rents have not gone up or
down since January 1, 2001, but rather rents were stable during
this 5-month period. What is not indicated from the Board data
is how many of the 823 reported units are re-rentals after an
original market rate rent was obtained for that unit, and how
many units are being rented at market rate for the first time
during this time period. The next ACTION report will study how
many units out of the total amount of approximately 28,000 rent
controlled rental units have obtained at least one market rate
rental increase.
