flag Salinas voters will decide in November 2026 whether to restore renter protections repealed in 2025.

flag The Salinas City Council has voted 4-3 to place renter protections—including rent caps, just-cause eviction rules, anti-harassment measures, and a rental registry—on the November 2026 ballot, allowing voters to decide their future. flag The ordinances, previously repealed in June 2025, remain inactive pending the election. flag Advocates say the measures are essential to prevent displacement and stabilize housing, while opponents, including property owners and some council members, argue they could hinder housing development and conflict with state goals. flag The decision follows a referendum campaign backed by thousands of residents and a public debate over affordability and tenant rights. flag The city will prepare ballot materials, with costs estimated between $500,000 and $1.7 million.
