Renting is not an option for me because rent prices are nowhere near affordable. I am forced to live with some of my family due to predatory legislation surrounding rent and landlords. If I did not have supportive family members, I would probably be unhoused.
I request the following solutions for this countries current renting disparity:
-Rent regulations
-Good cause eviction
-Ban source of income discrimination
-Freedom from discrimination
-Safe, quality, accessible housing standards
-Landlord registry
-Tenant right to organize
-Fair leases
-Office of tenant protections
Furthermore:
-The FHFA must continue to engage with and follow the leadership of tenants and people directly impacted by the rental market.
-Racial and social equity must be explicit goals of all regulations.
-Tenant protections should be applied to all landlords with a federally backed-mortgage and all rental properties, including larger multifamily properties and smaller one-to-four-unit properties. Tenant protections should not be incentivized or volunteer based.
-Landlords who violate FHFA’s tenant protections should be found to be in technical default and should not be eligible for future loans
