Biden’s Plan to Curb Exorbitant Rent Hikes: A Win for Tenants or a Step Back for Landlords?
Rent Control or Rent Chaos? The Debate Over Biden’s Affordable Housing Proposal
According to Kiplinger, President Biden has a plan to help make housing more affordable. His plan says that landlords who own many apartments can’t increase rent by more than 5% each year. If they do, they might lose some of the tax breaks they get. This will help people who are struggling to pay their rent. The government thinks this will make sure that landlords are not taking advantage of people who are trying to find a place to live.
Some Americans don’t agree with this plan. They think that it will make it harder for new apartments to be built and will reduce the number of places people can live. But the government thinks that this plan will help keep rents from going up too high and will also encourage people to build new homes. To help renters even more, the government is also making some rules to protect them. For example, landlords will have to give 30 days’ notice before raising the rent or ending a lease.

Biden’s Blueprint for Affordable Homeownership: Tax Breaks and More
President Biden also wants to help people buy homes. He thinks that it should be easier for people to buy their first home or upgrade to a better one. He wants to give them more money in their taxes back if they do. He also wants to encourage people who already own homes to sell them and move into a new one if they need to. The government thinks that these ideas will help more people have a place to call their own and make housing more affordable for everyone.
