Proposition 33: Removing State Limits on Rent Control

Category: Society & Culture
Duration: 00:22:53

Description:

For nearly 30 years, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act has limited how far local governments can take rent control policies. This year, Proposition 33 asks California voters if they'd like to remove those limits. While nothing happens overnight, if Prop 33 passes, it could open the door for cities to control rents on any type of housing – including single-family homes and newer apartments. KQED housing reporter Vanessa Rancaño joins us to explore the issues.

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this podcast episode said nothing would change immediately if Prop 33 passes. In fact, several communities have laws that would immediately go into effect.
