MBA and California MBA Continue to Urge Opposition to Rent Control Ballot Initiative; Webinar Recording Available

Last week, MBA, the California MBA (CMBA), and the California Apartment Association (CAA) hosted a free webinar in support of the “No for Me on Prop 33” campaign that urges members to vote against California’s Proposition 33 (Prop 33) rent control initiative.  A recording of the webinar is available here (passcode rb4KW8&X). 

• California voters have rejected rent control at the ballot twice before and hopefully will do so again. 

Why it matters: Prop 33 would repeal the state’s Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act and would allow local governments to set residential rental rates when a unit becomes vacant – actions which will harm the multifamily real estate market and housing affordability. Repealing Costa-Hawkins would create a patchwork of state and local price control laws that would undermine the supply of new housing and make multifamily lending more costly.  

What’s next: MBA will continue to work with the CMBA, CAA, and other allied groups to oppose Prop 33 and will keep members updated on any new developments. 

For more information, please review this issue brief and contact William Kooper(202) 557-2737 or Jamey Lynch (202) 557-2818.
