National Rent Control Act

By Order of the Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Nicolette of Ananto and Kalistan:

The aim of this building is to establish rent control across the Empire. No tenant is to pay more than 10% of their total disposable income to rent following the Passage of this Bill.

Disposable Income is to be calculated at "(Total Household Income) - (Outlays for Food, Fuel, Education, Transportation, and Health Care)".

The Difference between the fair Market Value of the Rental Property and the Capped Rent shall be subsidized to property owners for up to 1 year out of the National Treasury in the form of direct payment, after which time, the subsidy will end. At this point, Landlords will be permitted to sell their property to the Minister of Health and Social Services' office the manage from the public sector at a guaranteed price set at the average of tax assessments for the last five years.

No Landlord may evict a tenant to attempt to raise collectable rents for the period of 3 years following the passage of this bill.

A primary project of the National Service Program is to increase the housing stock in the form of multi-family units close to public transportation and services including grocery and education. New construction of suburbs and single family homes is to be curtailed in and around Free Cities in the Empire. Where the NSP is not available, Dukes are permitted to contract with private sector builders to increase housing stock along these guidelines.
