Rapidly increasing rent prices are forcing families out of their homes, destabilizing communities, and widening the gap between housing costs and wages. In Michigan, rental rates have increased by over 45% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of families across the country report spending over half their income on rent. Corporate landlords are reporting record profits while too many Americans struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Despite this crisis, 30 states have laws that prevent local governments from enacting rent control, leaving renters vulnerable to sudden, steep increases that can upend their lives. It's time to take action now. Congress must enact Federal rent control legislation to address this crisis. If you agree, sign our petition today! National rent control legislation would provide millions of renters with immediate relief and housing security — in the long run, it would also help alleviate the need for more affordable housing options. This legislation must include a nationwide cap on annual rent increases, removal of state-level bans on local rent control measures, creation of a national rent price database, and incentives for the construction of new affordable housing units. Millions of American families are already struggling under the predatory practices of unaccountable landlords and rent hikes. We're calling on our elected officials to put the people first and stand up to the corrupting influence of corporate money in our housing system. Add your name to tell Congress to override anti-rent control laws in states by supporting comprehensive federal rent control legislation now.
