With the start of the 2024 Washington State legislative session, bills overturning the current state pre-emption to rent control have been brought forward, as well as proposals which would implement state-wide rent control measures. We strongly oppose any efforts to implement rent control, as well as efforts to overturn the state’s pre-emption. It is important to take a sober look at why rent control is bad policy.
