Amid a housing crisis, a statewide coalition is going after the ban on rent control
The coalition announced their plan Wednesday to tackle Illinois’ ban on rent control.
Across Illinois – and the country – housing costs and rents are going up and affordability is becoming ever more elusive. Here, some renters have had enough. And they’re going after the ban on rent control. The Lift The Ban Coalition announced new legislation Wednesday that aims to allow Illinois communities to opt out of the statewide ban on rent control via local referendum.
Reset hears from one of the groups in the coalition for more.
