NAA Insights: How a Federal Rent Cap Would Harm Housing

Housing providers have learned to adapt to the rapidly changing policy landscape, but the most recent idea of limiting rent hikes to 5 percent across the country has left many National Apartment Association members discouraged. Nicole Upano, assistant vice president in the organization’s Housing Policy & Regulatory Affairs department, assessed that, were it to pass Congress, the White House’s proposal would result in rental income loss through 2026 of no less than $28 billion. In this episode of Multi-Housing News' quarterly podcast series NAA Insights, Upano talks to Senior Editor Laura Calugar about the potential consequences of a nationwide rent cap.
