The California Apartment Association and coalition partners – The California Association of Realtors, the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Building Industry Association, and the California Business Property Association — are lobbying at the Capitol this week to stop a bill that would allow cities and counties to force below-market rate housing in new rental developments.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin
AB 2502 by Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, is on the Assembly floor. A vote is expected this week.
The bill would overturn the Palmer v. Los Angeles court decision, which concluded that requiring a percentage of affordable units, or inclusionary housing, in new rental developments violates California’s Costa-Hawkins Act. Costa-Hawkins bans rent control in rental housing built after 1995.
