I will most likely be leaving the Bay Area withing within two months. As that time approaches I'll likely be posting less articles as I focus on moving.

There have been zero issues to moderate here so far and do not expect that to change.

Post here if you are interested in being a mod.

(I'll post all the news sources I use later today.)

City of Oakland — Report Internet Choice Denial (www.oaklandca.gov)
submitted 1 month ago by octopoda to c/oakland

Background:

Section 8.66.030 - No Interference by Property Owner

A. No property owner shall interfere with the right of an occupant to obtain communication services from the communication services provider of the occupant’s choice.

B. A property owner interferes with the occupant’s choice of communication services provider by, among other things, refusing to allow a communication services provider to install the facilities and equipment necessary to provide communication services or use any existing wiring not currently in use by another provider to provide communication services as required by this ordinance.

Also worth emphasizing, property owners are required to notify tenants of this ordinance:

Section 8.66.115 Notification to Occupants

All property owners of multiple occupancy buildings as defined in section 8.66.020 are required to issue written notice to all existing occupants of their rights contained in this ordinance within 60 days after the city sends out notification of this ordinance. All new occupants shall receive written notice of their rights contained in this ordinance within 30 days of occupancy. The written notices required by this section may be contained within a lease or rental agreement, by way of a lease addendum, or as a separate written notification.
