Tell Nevada Legislators to vote NO on rent control—our housing future depends on it. While the concept of rent control may sound like a quick fix to rising housing costs, the reality is far more damaging. Rent control has a long track record of creating unintended consequences that ultimately hurt the very people it’s intended to help.
Nevada REALTORS® urge you to learn the facts at TruthAboutRentControl.com. The data is clear: rent control leads to reduced housing supply, deteriorating property conditions, and ironically, increased overall costs for renters. When rental income is artificially capped, property owners have fewer resources and less incentive to maintain or improve their properties. This results in a decline in housing quality and availability over time.
Just look at states like California and Oregon, where rent control policies have been in place. These states have experienced worsening housing shortages, slowed development, and increased displacement, especially among low-income families. Rather than solving housing problems, rent control shifts them into new, more complex forms.
Nevada can do better. Our state needs smart, forward-thinking housing solutions—not policies that have proven ineffective and harmful elsewhere. We should focus on increasing housing supply, encouraging responsible development, and supporting affordability through targeted programs—not through blanket price controls that backfire.
