Proposition 33 |
Rent Control
- Statewide Ballot Measure
IJ Action Recommendation: VOTE YES
Description
Rent Control
Background
Current state law (the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act of 1995) generally prevents cities and counties from limiting the initial rental rate that landlords may charge to new tenants in all types of housing, and from limiting rent increases for existing tenants in (1) residential properties that were first occupied after February 1, 1995; (2) single-family homes; and (3) condominiums. This measure would repeal that state law and would prohibit the state from limiting the right of cities and counties to maintain, enact, or expand residential rent-control ordinances.

IJ Action Recommendation
IJ Action recommends a yes vote on Proposition 33 to expand the tools localities have to address the affordability crisis. Too many families are being priced out of their communities and falling into homelessness because of skyrocketing rent. Proposition 5 will empower local governments to use rent control as another tool for curbing our homelessness crisis.
