Governing: n a state where housing costs have skyrocketed, midterm voters will get to decide whether to repeal a 23-year-old law that limits their cities' power to enact rent control.
Californians will vote on whether to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act of 1995. The current law prohibits cities from applying rent control to housing built after Feb. 1, 1995 and to single-family homes and condominiums. It also allows landlords of rent-controlled properties to raise the rent when tenants move out. A "yes" vote on Proposition 10 would repeal the state law; a "no" would let it stand.
