RENT CONTROL AND PROPOSITION 10

California’s 2018 ballot included Proposition 10, an initiative to expand the use of rent control by local jurisdictions and repeal the Costa-Hawkins Act. Tenant advocates argued that rent control is necessary to provide stability for vulnerable residents during the state’s affordability crisis, while others said that such policies cause more harm than good by restricting development and driving up costs for those searching for housing. Prior to Election Day, panelists discussed what the likely outcomes for California would be if Prop 10 passes or fails.
