The report offers a comprehensive overview of potential legislative and regulatory tools to mitigate these harms. While barriers such as state preemption, conservative legislative majorities, and well-funded landlord opposition persist, the report highlights successful measures that can be replicated at federal, state, and local levels to protect tenants and address housing affordability.

This installment builds on the series’ previous reports, which explored landlord licensing and rental inspections (Part 1), state preemption of housing justice measures (Part 2), and pro-competitive housing policy reforms (Part 3). By consolidating proven and proposed solutions, the PESP Housing Policy Primer serves as a vital resource for policymakers and advocates seeking to curb housing consolidation and ensure safe, affordable, and accessible housing for all.
