Prop 21 in a Minute: Rent Control Expansion
Clip: Season 2020 | 58sVideo has Closed Captions
Prop 21 applies rent controls on housing that’s 15 years old or older.
Prop 21 allows local governments in California to apply new rent controls, but only on housing that is more than 15 years old and not on single-family homes owned by landlords with no more than two properties. Advocates say California will have a housing affordability crisis as long as landlords can immediately increase rents to market rates when a tenant moves out.
