ALAMEDA – Anxious residents of the Barnhill Marina floating homes community reached out to the city earlier this month after being told their rent could be hiked at least 30% by the harbor’s new owner.

But they can stop worrying for now because the City Council unanimously decided Thursday to apply Alameda’s rent stabilization ordinance and Covid-19 eviction moratorium to the dockside houses of 66 residents at the marina near 2394 Mariner Square Drive.
