Is It Time for “Rent Control” in Nevada?

Vegas Verdict by Vegas Verdict

Episode notes

Renters in our state will tell you affordable apartments are scarce, and because of inflation many residents are being priced out. The Biden administration expressed interest in a federal form of rent control, capping annual rent-increases at 5-percent. Would that type of measure stabilize our market, and would it protect low and fixed-income families? What about the lack of inventory in Southern Nevada? Would a rent-control mandate discourage developers from building new properties? Our Vegas Verdict panel will debate pros and cons.
