As Rents Rise, Push to lift Illinois’ Ban on Rent Control

WTTW. Chicago Tonight interview from August 2nd.

Featuring:

Jane Garvey of Chicago Creative Investors Association
Michael Mini, executive vice president of the Chicagoland Apartment Association
Ben Avis is part of the North Spaulding Renters Association
John Bartlett, executive director of the Metropolitan Tenant Organization

“We’re facing tremendous increases in costs on all fronts. We’re also facing tremendous increases in risk,” Garvey said. She added that in her view, the real problem behind skyrocketing rental prices is the lack of housing. We have a shortage of rentals. If rent controls were put in place it removes incentives to balance the market with more supply, so the shortage would get worse.

Short discussion and was tough to get the points out in this format, but still nice to be asked to participate in the discussion said Jane.

This is not just a Chicago issue... the entire State of Illinois is at risk. Rent Control Means:

You may no longer set the rent amount for your property. That decision will be decided by a Rent Control Board, primarily made up of tenants and tenant attorneys.
You may no longer raise rent without permission of the Rent Control Board
You may no longer use the profit of your business as you see fit. 10% of your profit must be escrowed for a repair fund.
You may not refuse to renew a lease unless you pay the tenant’s relocation fees amounting to thousands of dollars.
Who pays for the Rent Control Board? You do. You must pay an annual tax for each unit that you own.

Do you want your property rights ripped from you and handed to bureaucrats?
