THE CONVERSATION HAS CHANGED. RENT CONTROL ISN’T THE SIMPLE CURE-ALL IT WAS ONCE PORTRAYED TO BE.
Rent control proposals are expected to return in 2027. In 2025, only one rent control bill made it through the Legislature - and Governor Lombardo vetoed it. Thanks to your efforts, more Nevadans understand what’s at stake.
BUT THE THREAT REMAINS. Future proposals may use new names like “rent stabilization,” but government price controls by any name can have the same harmful consequences.
NEVADANS KNOW THE FACTS. Research and experience show that rent control reduces housing investment, discourages new construction and, ultimately, can make housing less affordable.
THE REAL SOLUTION. Nevada needs more housing, not government price controls. That means increasing housing supply, reducing barriers to development and encouraging private investment to help create more affordable options for Nevadans.
