    I'm excited to know that through a federal rulemaking process, there is still an opportunity to get rent control and tenant protections in Florida. Truly affordable quality housing is worth fighting for. Some values or principles that I hope FHFA would follow:
    Tenant Leadership: The FHFA must continue to engage with and follow the leadership of tenants and people directly impacted by the rental market.
    Equity: Racial and social equity must be explicit goals of all regulations.
    Mandatory Requirements: 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.
    Enforcement: Landlords who violate FHFA’s tenant protections should be found to be in technical default and should not be eligible for future loans.
