DELAWARE CAN’T AFFORD
RENT STABILIZATION
Housing is too expensive in Delaware.
But we can’t let good intentions lead to unintended consequences.
Since implementing statewide rent stabilization, rental markets in New York City, St. Paul, and San Francisco have gotten more expensive with fewer options.
Most experts and economists agree that rent stabilization leads to higher housing costs, and less rental properties on the market.
We can’t trust Dover politicians to make a one-size-fits-all policy for Delaware. Delaware is made up of coasts, cities, suburbs, and rural areas… all with unique housing markets. Rent stabilization measures ignore Delaware's differences and take power away from our local communities.
Rent stabilization measures put power in the state government’s hands—taking away your freedom to make decisions affecting your home.
Rent stabilization isn’t the right solution for Delaware – fixing our housing supply is. Solutions like dedicating 1% of the state budget to affordable housing initiatives create the opportunity for increasing affordable housing options for all Delawareans.
Tell legislators to focus on creating new housing to balance the marketplace. Affordable housing needs 1% of the state budget now.
