| State Rent Control Issue Takes National Stage |
|
Across the country, state and local governments are currently considering legislative rent control measures. However, these efforts are misguided. They do nothing to address residential construction deterrents like imprudent local zoning measures and high land costs. In response, NAR is working to fight rent control and rent stabilization laws on both residential and commercial properties.
