LEARN MORE ABOUT RENT CONTROL ...
A proposed 2026 ballot question would repeal Massachusetts' longstanding ban on rent control and implement statewide rent regulations affecting all 351 cities and towns. While intended to address affordability concerns, many housing experts believe the measure could discourage investment in existing housing and reduce incentives to build new homes—making the state's housing shortage even more challenging in the long run.
No New Housing Created
Massachusetts' housing affordability challenges are driven by a shortage of available homes and apartments, and rent control does nothing to increase housing supply.
Less Mobility for Families and Workers
Rent-controlled units can encourage people to stay in apartments that no longer fit their needs, making it harder for others to find available housing in the communities where they want to live or work.
Reduced Investment in Rental Properties
When property owners face limits on rental income, there may be fewer upgrades, renovations, and improvements made to rental housing over time.
