It’s Too Soon To Change The County’s Rent Stabilization Law One Way or the Other
Ever since MoCo’s rent stabilization law was passed and it later became clear there has been a drop in housing permits, there have been people pushing to repeal or weaken the law. More recently, others have argued it needs to be strengthened. I don’t expect to put an end to this debate, but I mean what I say here, there are real impacts on permitting happening due to MoCo’s rent stabilization law, but I think they are largely caused by uncertainty, there are other factors also at play, and we are best served leaving the law as is and making other adjustments.
