Rent control: Constitutionality, private property, & distortion of housing markets | LIVE STREAM

Rent control has long been debated, yet rent stabilization laws have proliferated in cities in recent years. Advocates argue that rent control helps resist gentrification and displacement. Critics point out that it limits the housing supply while distorting the housing market for rental property owners and renters alike.

An upcoming case in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will challenge the legality of New York City’s rent control laws, raising a broader question: Are such laws constitutional? Does maintaining low rents outweigh what some amount to “taking” private property and violating the Fifth Amendment?

Andrew Pincus of Mayor Brown LLP, a plaintiff in the case, joins AEI’s Adam J. White and Nestor Davidson of the Fordham University School of Law for a panel discussion, moderated by AEI’s Howard Husock, on the constitutionality of rent control.
