Michelle Wu’s impact on Boston landlords?

[Paul Brady]

Hello all, I recently bought a multi family home in East Boston. I’m curious if the “rent control” Michelle Wu speaks of were to pass would it be city wide or certain neighborhoods? Any predictions on what some of the guidelines might look like? Thanks

I believe rent control would need to be approved at a state level even if just for the city of Boston. I don't think she can just flip a switch and implement rent control. I could be entirely wrong, and as a landlord in Boston I am very curious to hear more about this as well from people who are more familiar with this topic.
