Proposition 21 introduces a new law that alters how rents are adjusted during tenant turnover. Currently, operators are able to lift rent to the market rate during a vacancy. Under the new law, rents will be controlled during vacancy. Furthermore, thousands of additional apartments will be eligible for rent control.

Report Highlights:

  • Rent growth limited through vacancy, permanently altering the apartment market

  • Potential law could discourage reinvestment in older properties

  • Properties older than 15 years will be eligible for rent control
