    I totally support:
    • Source-of-income protections to prohibit landlords from discriminating against households receiving housing assistance and to give families greater choice about where to live.
    • “Just cause” eviction standards and the right to renew leases to help protect renters from housing instability.
    • Anti-rent gouging protections to stop landlords from dramatically raising rents.
    • Requirements to ensure housing is safe, decent, accessible and healthy for renters and their families.
    At a minimum, any renter protections established by FHFA should be:
    • Informed through continued engagement with renters and directly impacted people.
    • Focused on racial and social equity as an explicit goal.
    • Mandatory for all landlords and all rental properties, including multifamily and one-to-four-unit properties with an existing or future federally backed-mortgage.
    • Paired with strong enforcement. Landlords who violate renter protections should be found to be in technical default and should not be eligible for future loans.

    We need reforms immediately.
