Rent Control Study Updated
The University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy recently concluded an update of their 2005 Takoma Park Rent Control study. The updated study: 1) Looks historically at assessment increases in Takoma Park compared to the County as a whole, 2) extrapolates the impact of rent control on assessments over the next couple of decades and 3) develops a better understanding of the percent of income Montgomery County residents are currently paying for rent, as a way to assess the extent of the affordability problem.
