Just-cause eviction: Rent control by another name

By| March 21, 2016, 11:36 EST

In a 1994 statewide referendum, Massachusetts voters chose to ban rent control in the Bay State; but a new proposal currently before the Boston City Council threatens to re-impose the outlawed practice through the back door.

Now they're trying to push for it hard through the state.

Rent control is horrible for economies and communities- it brings on blight, and less housing for renters.
