President Biden has put forward his second proposal this year to “cap” rent increases nationwide.
“Under Biden’s proposal, landlords who own more than 50 units would face a choice: Cap rents at 5% annually, or lose access to a coveted federal tax write-off.”
It would need Congress’ approval to come into effect. In the meantime, economists say rent regulation could still be deployed by restricting federal financing to landlords.
