The measure would have repealed the 1995 Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which currently prohibits cities from enacting rent control on housing first occupied after February 1, 1995, and on single-family homes and condos. Repealing the act would have allowed local governments to expand rent control to cover these previously exempted properties and potentially restrict landlords' ability to raise rents to market rates between tenancies.
