    Rent Control: Unjust and Ineffective

    Jan 08, 2020 0 minutes

    Manhattan Institute’s Michael Hendrix interviews Mayer Brown partner Andrew Pincus, the lead attorney in a lawsuit taking on New York State’s sweeping rent-regulation laws.

    In 2019, New York strengthened its already-strict rent regulations, while state legislatures in Oregon and California approved caps on rent increases. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders have even proposed national rent-control policies. Pincus explains what’s wrong with rent control, from violating due process and property rights to shutting out newcomers attempting to find housing in cities.

    If you’re interested in learning more about rent control, check out a new report by Michael Hendrix from Manhattan Institute’s Issues 2020 series.
