Prop 33 asks California voters to make it easier for cities and counties to limit how much a landlord can charge a tenant for rent. The ballot measure would specifically repeal a state law that restricts the ability of cities and counties to impose rent control.
Under that law known as the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, cities cannot set rent control on single-family homes or apartments built after 1995. Landlords are also able to charge however much they want when a new tenant moves into their property under current law.
This will be the third attempt by renters' advocates to repeal Costa-Hawkins. They tried in 2018 and 2020.
Who supports it?
The California Nurses Association, the California Alliance for Retired Americans, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and various other groups known for tenant advocacy.

If rent control works, complete control of all prices should work too...right?
This is what “democracy’ looks like, mob rule.
A majority of voters (who rent) will decide how much rent a landlord can charge. This should never be put to a vote.
It is no difference then having a vote on what any business could charge for their service or product. It is a form of government “taking” property without just compensation.
Will it pass, most likely.
Will it help? No. There will fewer rental properties as owners sell the property.
Tenement Promotion Bill?
I sold two rentals because of the headaches. Both are now owner occupied...
Our family voted no on Prop 33. The only Prop we voted yes on was 36. No on everything else.
This is Kamala’s America. Save our democracy where the stupid can violate free markets by a vote and then suffer the consequences. Think housing availability is tight now? Just vote to make it unprofitable.
.....as someone who has developed, built and owned hundreds of rental units over more than 4 decades, I can guarantee that I would STOP building and developing if I had to get permission from some City bureaucrat to raise my rent.
This is simply because ALL OTHER OF MY daily/hourly COSTS go up incrementally every day which dictates that my survival means I have to raise the rent.
Central planning and control is always an economic destroyer. The Market is always the best entity for determining almost everything.
For those of us who don't live in California, what is Prop. 36?
Man you are so short of the mark, what they want is not to control the rent of dwellings and price of goods and services, this is Californication, they want to seize all property and be the determiner of not just prices but who is allowed to receive those goods and services, they want to complete California’s transition into a failed communist state and have their DICKtator rule over the lowly proletariat.
PROP
36
Allows Felony Charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes
The communists are winning in California and making it worse and worse every year.
The voters in this state surpassingly show little impulses of common sense from time to time, particularly on the ballot measures
They were duped into essentially decriminalizing shoplifting through Prop 47 a few years back. This has led to the broad daylight looting of stores, people walking in and filling up garbage bags with merchandise. In Prop 36 they’re going to reverse their error in a landslide
A couple of other highlights:
Prop 3. Circa 2010 the People passed Prop 8, defining marriage as between a man and a woman. In violation of their oath of office Governor Schwarzenegger and AG Harris refused to defend the law in court. Of course Oberkfell was going to end up with the SCOTUS decision we got anyway. When a law is decorated unconstitutional, it remains in the books; it’s just not enforceable. I’m Prop 3 our masters are calling upon us to thank them for overthrowing the will of the voters by expunging Prop 8 from the books because, you know, it’s so hateful
Prop 6. Libs love them some criminals and the proponents equate prison labor with slavery . This would abolish prison labor
Welcome to communism.
I was being facetious to demonstrate that economic control (i.e., centralized planning) is impossible and would cause a collapse of any system.
If Trump is elected and starts deporting the illegals there will be a housing surplus.
all ready voted no on prop 33
