Your Legislators Need to Hear From You About Rent Control!

---

Housing Providers... 

Last year you made a difference stopping the Rent Control legislation from moving forward.  We need your help again.  We need you to contact your legislators and make them understand what a bad policy Rent Control is.  I have the "91 ways..." list you can download as talking points.

91 Ways to Create More Affordable Housing - And Rent Control Isn't One Of Them

Please speak to the candidates that are running for state office about this issue. You can point them to https://shapeillinois.com/ to get more information from a coalition of groups representing housing providers in Illinois.

Thanks for your support,

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.

Dear CCIA Members & Friends,

Recently I was interviewed by Ed Kirch, CEO of Kirch Property Management regarding Rent Control.
