I don't know exactly what the answer is. If a rental property has a long term renter, I don't want to see that tenant have their rent increased by huge amounts year over year. I'm a life long conservative, but I see huge value in making sure landlords can't kick out well behaved, paying on time tenants. I also believe that landlords should be severely limited in the amount they can increase rent at renewal time.
- CodeWriter23 3y agoThis is what local rent control laws are for. And probably much better for it to be decided locally than at the "one size fits all of the Californias" Sacramento would inevitably come up with.
- mattw2121 3y agoThanks, but I live in Florida. I'm not familiar with rent control laws, since we don't have any. In fact, rent control laws are forbidden in Florida.

- idopmstuff 3y agoThe answer is just more housing, and at least it's starting to look like CA is making strides in that direction. The best protection for renters is a market where there's abundant supply - landlords will be severely limited in house much they can increase rent if a big rent increase means they're out of line with the market and can't get tenants.
