Application for Consideration

On July 28, 2022, the City of Kingston declared a housing emergency and formally opted into the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA), and in doing so, is required to maintain a Rent Guidelines Board.
The Rent Guidelines Board is made up of two tenant representatives, two property owner representatives, and five members of the public. **There is currently one vacancy for a member of the public​​**
 
Each of the members of the public must have at least five years of experience in finance, economics, or housing. Board members must be residents of the City of Kingston. The Rent Guidelines Board will meet annually and as needed to set guidelines for rent adjustments. The Division of Housing and Community Renewal assists the Board in making its annual determination.
