Federal Rent Control – Action Needed
As you likely know, President Biden recently proposed raising taxes on certain apartment owners and operators who raise rents by more than 5% in a year.
As you also know, rent control has proven unsuccessful in every jurisdiction where it has been tried. By forcing owners and managers to make difficult choices with limited revenue, rent control ultimately hurts the residents it is supposed to help.
Please act today by contacting your Representatives and Senators and asking them to oppose the Biden Administration’s rent control plan and to make a public statement of opposition.
We’re taking a different approach by utilizing a slightly different campaign from previous campaigns. We are enabling you to call your Representative’s District or State offices directly to express your views. As you take action, you will see a script that will guide your conversation; it runs about 30 seconds.
Please keep a couple of things in mind:
- If you have not taken action on an NAA campaign before, we will ask you to provide your home address and cell phone number; this is only to match you with your Representative and for our advocacy platform to place the call.
- Therefore, be patient and polite when talking with the local office staff; their job is to help constituents and communicate their concerns to the Member. They are not legislative staff.
- The staff will be taking your message and passing it on to the Member; they won’t be able to give a yes or a no, but they will make sure you can contact them again.
Thank you for standing up for the apartment industry!
