The headline's sensational, but my gut is telling me that this is not a B.S. press release and that #rentcontrol did contribute to the decision.

I'm not 100% against it (I […]

#Reagan began the war on our large middle-class with tax cuts for the rich, trickle-down $. He then fired the ✈️ flight controllers destroying their union. That began the war on unions: healthcare, decent wages & work conditions. He also ended #RentControl. Rents rose steadily.

Organizers are working to have demonstrations take place throughout England. @prmchronicles #rentcontrol

Residents urge rent caps and right‑to‑purchase as committee rejects manufactured‑home protections bill House File 2381 — which would add an opportunity‑to‑purchase provision and a 3% cap on lot‑rent increases in manufactured‑home communities — drew emotional testimony from residents and strong opposition from industry owners; after debate the committee failed to advance the bill on a 7–6 roll call.

As rising lot rents threaten the homes of 180,000 Minnesotans, residents are demanding a 3% cap to protect their futures.

Why the Rent-Control Movement Is Growing The only way to overcome the real estate industry is to have a unified, people-power rent-control movement.

Most NYC rent-stabilized buildings are profitable. The crisis isn't operating costs. It's speculative debt from investors who bet on endless rent hikes. buff.ly/KFzsvp8 #justeconomy #RentControl

Harvey's tenants form super‑majority union; Oakwood agrees to drop lease "right of first refusal" Tenants at Harvey's Mobile Home Park in Bonner launched a super‑majority union and said Oakwood Properties agreed to remove a lease clause that would have given the company first option to buy residents' homes. Organizers pressed for rollbacks of steep lot‑rent hikes, a 3% cap tied to cost‑of‑living adjustments and the option to pursue a co‑op purchase.

Residents of Harvey's Mobile Home Park have united to form a powerful tenants union, already achieving a critical victory against steep rent hikes.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed 6 new members to 9-member Rent Guidelines Board, to evaluate rent-stabilized units & freeze rents. Critics warn freeze + property tax hikes could strain landlords.

Mamdani names new Rent Guidelines Board majority, testing rent freeze pledge The Rent Guidelines Board sets annual rent-stabilized increases and the mayor’s new picks could determine whether tenants get a freeze or another hike.

3. Time will tell

Mamdani has pledged to preside over four consecutive freezes.

But the mayor does not actually have the power to accomplish that unilaterally. Instead, the pledge hinges on his appointees’ decisions. #RentControl #RentFreeze

Massachusetts rent control is back — 88,000 signatures, 63% voter support. But price caps don’t build apartments.

My take on what actually fixes the affordability crisis:

Welcome pivot from @wutrain.bsky.social—one of FIRST modern progressive mayors to fully embrace #RentControl. But after getting elected, ditched it for NYC-style Rent Stabilization, which @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social rejected & won on. Wu is a GOOD mayor—she'll be GREAT if she returns to core values.

Not the criminalizing stigmatizers

A judge ruled that Glendale must return rent overcharges to tenants after years of unlawful increases. When #rentcontrol is enforced, renters win! Greedy landlords must be held accountable.
