Bill AB1506, DO you know about it in CA?

[Angela Xu]

California Apartment Association “ CAA” calls for action : a Bill to repeal the "Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act" (Costa-hawkins Rental Housing Act) has been scheduled for the first hearing in the state legislature, to repeal a landmark legislation to protect owners from radical rent controls. The Housing and Community Development Committee will hear the bill AB 1506 submitted by democratic State Representative Bloom on Thursday, January 11. The hearing will begin 9 o'clock in the morning at California's capital. The adoption of AB 1506 would allow local governments to impose rent controls on all types of housing, including single-family homes, and prohibit owners from resetting rents to market prices in the case of vacancy. Prior to the hearing, the California Apartment Association called on property owners, property managers and industry partners to send a letter to their members to urge them to oppose AB 1506.

We must let the members of the gathering know the importance of this.
