Stop the bill to reauthorize RENT CONTROL in California!!

What SB 184 Does
The bill overturns a court case that affirmed California’s now 16-year-old law, Costa-Hawkins, prohibiting rent control on newly constructed apartment units.  The result would be an insidious new form of rent control – capping rents on units for as long as 55 years.  The bill’s author, Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) is attempting to disguise his intent by saying SB 184 simply means the politically popular “inclusionary zoning” program can be used for new rental housing.  But, do not be fooled – by any other name rent control is still rent control and, unless SB 184 is defeated, rent control will return to California.

Though defeated last June, the measure has been allowed to be heard again by the full Senate Thursday, January 26.  Click here to take action.
