The Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation has been cleared to begin circulating petitions to put a rent control initiative on the statewide ballot.
Protesters gather at L.A. City Hall in support of Proposition 10, which failed to pass in 2018.
The prospect of another rent control battle comes less than eight months after voters soundly rejected a previous measure on the ballot. Nearly 60%, which would have repealed the state’s current limitations on rent control. The campaign topped $100 million with landlord groups outraising the foundation and tenant groups more than three-to-one.
There are key differences between Proposition 10 and the new proposal. The prior measure would have done away entirely with the 1995, which prevents cities and counties from imposing rent control on single-family homes or on apartments built after that year, or earlier in Los Angeles and other cities that had existing rent control policies. Doing so would have allowed cities and counties to impose their own rent control rules.Rather than repealing Costa-Hawkins, this initiative would modify it.
