Rent control will be back on the ballot in November and the stakes for the rental-housing industry have never been higher. Proposition 21 would not only expand rent control in California but also empower cities and counties to impose even more restrictive rent control policies of their own. 

Rental property owners and operators stand to lose existing protections provided by the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act and other significant decision-making authority over their investments.

Proposition 21 would:
  • Expand rent control to include buildings that were constructed after 1995 and are more than 15 years old. This means more units would fall under rent control each year.

  • Allow for the establishment of up to 539 non-elected rental boards with unaccountable bureaucrats dictating what rental property owners can and cannot do with their properties.

  • Empower local governments to impose additional rent control measures on apartments and single-family homes without a vote of the people.

  • Prohibit rental property owners from raising rents to market value when tenants move out.

  • Add tens of millions of dollars in new costs to local governments, increasing the pressure to raise taxes.
