    What you’re describing is often called “Rent Control” and it is something liberal politicians from New York to California have crusaded against for decades, on the grounds that it prevented new residential housing space from being built.

    Incidentally, there is no recognized correlation between rent control as a policy and diminished housing starts.

        Lmao, what kind of organization is that? Either your working for them, or you have been played. Give another source than some organization that nobody has heard of and lobbies against renters rights.

        NAA lobbies for policies that benefit owners and operators. Its educational offerings are designed to maximize profits and limit liability and renters’ rights

        Naa merged with nmhc according to Wikipedia

        Based in Washington, D.C., the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) is where rental housers and suppliers come together to help meet America’s housing needs

        Literally quoting the nation’s biggest renter lobby to call me a liar? Okay.
