That is almost surely correct.As it turns out, Biden won't be doing anything.
I don't rent to people--are you demented? I've told you multiple times. I don't rent from people either. I've told you that too. I don't owe anyone besides my parents for bringing me into this world and my wife for staying by my side. I own what I have and paid the asking price for it. I pay my taxes and a lot of them go to parasites like you who refuse to pay your own way opting instead to suck off of some other human that is trying to make a living. Run along, sponge.it's you parasiting on renters
You know what the prices are too, parasite. And you continue to live there. If you don't like the price, as is the case with your customers, leave. It is up to you. A landlord has a product (his property), you want to live there. You pay the price he wants for it or find someplace else with a price in line with what you think is fair. Its on you. The landlord owes you nothing. And before you whine but its a necessity. Example: An egg farmer doubles what he charges for his eggs because feed and enery costs increase and he needs a raise to maintain his standard of living due to inflation. By raising his prices, customers are forced to forego other things they might have bought if they hadn't had to pay so much for eggs. That forces a hardship on competing products businesses. Do you think eggs price should be capped? Do you think the egg farmer is gouging? Would you put on a monthly tirade because you don't want to pay it? Naw. LMAO and you claim you're not a parasite.My customers know what the prices are.
IT's badNYC landlords have been proving that you cn make money WITH RENT CONTROL, and theyve been doing that for 100 years.
Use the words "commies" when you're not slamming US businesses, like you are.
yeah I do, the more foreigners from other states come here to retire the harder it is to live on a Floridian wage.Do you understand supply and demand? The homes are selling for what the market will bear. If no one pays that price, then there would be no one asking for it. That is common sense. Do you actually think that every home owner/seller or landlord is conspiring against you individually? C'mon man, use your head. No one is going to be in business if they try to sell their products for more than what people are willing to pay.
You are 100% right brother. It is, of course the most important issue. The cost of homes is the cost-of-living. Things are so astronomical in this country. We all remember the coronavirus and other words more tough version of the flu and how the politicians locked us down, unnecessarily and destroyed the economy. Perhaps one of the most heinous things in human history that could’ve been avoided.This proposal is potent. There are 112 Million renters in America (34% of the total population).
There are also 32.2 Million businesses. Together these translate into a ton of votes.
If Trump does not reciprocate and propose a rent control law himself (of 5% or lower), he could be handing Biden the election. After the astronomical rent increases of the last few years, to renters and business owners, this is the most serious issue in America. Both have taken a huge hit economically, by the enormously higher rents.
Biden to call for 5% cap on annual rent increases, a critical issue for voters
Corporate landlords would lose the ability to write off depreciation values from their units if they increase tenants' rent more than 5%.www.aol.com

A recent Rentcafé study shows renter rates have climbed across the country as more and more Americans are now choosing to rent instead of own.www.housingwire.com
Absolutely trump shd counter with 3% rent cap rate. As a counter to the blood thirsty corporations that buy up blocks of houses and then rent them out at astronomical prices, which is against Christianity. So this is some serious stuff here this is the most important issue in this country.Trump MUST reciprocate with his own rent cap law. I would hate to see Biden steal the election (legally), just by advocating a very popular (and needed) reform.
Also, if Trump is to show that he s a man of the people, and a protector of business interests, he will have to parallel Biden on this issue.
This exactly. Frankly, I’m surprised there has not been more of an aggressive response from the American people to the fact that we have seen home prices literally double in a year. And with that, of course, the price of rent has skyrocketed too.All you're doing here is repeating the standard old landlord line that says they need the increase to cover their costs. This might have been true in the past, with moderate increases, but over the last 5 years, it's a new and totally different ballgame, with rent increase of 100-200% common.
No landlord needs to raise rents $1000-2000/mo. This is insane. I hope Trump follows suit. I'm a Republican, and I've voted for Trump 3 times. I don't want to see him lose because of this. It could happen.
OK, well something has to be done. Simply because we have seen an astronomical increase in the price of homes to buy or rent in a very short period of time. Not normal. This is a extreme situation which requires an extreme response. Maybe you can figure out that response?President Joe Biden will announce a new 5% cap on rental increases nationwide, a proposal aimed at stemming inflation-driven housing costs that have not dipped since the pandemic.
Biden hopes to unveil the proposal during his campaign stop in Nevada, a critical swing state for Democrats that has been crippled by soaring housing costs.
Under the new measure, which would require congressional approval, corporate landlords would lose the ability to write off depreciation values from their units if they increase tenants' rent more than 5%.
From the link in the OP. Biden is going to propose every frickin' thing under the sun to get votes, knowing full well it ain't going to happen. Nor should it, rent controls disincentivizes new housing construction. And that is a fact of life.
And BTW I doubt this is going to make a difference in November.
Frankly, it’s a breath of fresh air. And this is what the old-school Democrats would do. You see that’s why the USA had the greatest economy in the world in the 1950s well it was because of men like Franklin Roosevelt, but also Republicans like Dwight Eisenhower. we had the greatest middle class in our history in the 1950s. We had better jobs in those days, lower prices of homes. Easier access to the middle class.Part of Biden's idea is to greatly increase affordable housing development. More details are in the link in the OP.
This would not only provide more rental housing, but would help to keep landlords from gouging.
