RENT CONTROL BILL THWARTED – AGAIN

Advocates of returning rent control to California were unsuccessful as SB 184 (Leno; D-San Francisco) was stopped again on the Floor of the State Senate by a close working coalition that included the California Association of REALTORS®, Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, San Diego County Apartment Association and the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association.

SB 184, attempted to legitimize rent control by overturning an important court case for private property owners, failed to pass last June and action on it was suspended until this month.
