The Biden administration unveiled new protections for renters last month, including efforts to address incorrect tenant screening reports and offer better advance notice of evictions — important first steps to tackling our country’s housing crisis. The White House now has a significant opportunity to build on this announcement and bring relief to millions of households across the country with a new national rent control policy.

AnalysisBy Gary Langer March 18 — Americans' support for war with Iraq and approval of President Bush's handling of the crisis both spiked Monday night, the kind of rally in public opinion that customarily accompanies the start of military action.
