The Larkspur community has multiple, large apartment complexes, most notably the Skylark. The community also has numerous single family and some duplex rental spaces available. Community wide rent control measures only came to be considered after the Skylark apartment complex came under new ownership before 2023. Because of the changing situation at the complex, in 2022, the Council started looking at ways to address rental concerns City wide. Though there has been minimal complaints with other rental situations, the Council conducted staff reports and listening sessions to hear from renters, mom & pop housing providers and apartment owners.
