Major Legislative Victory: CAA Passes Rent Control Preemption Bil

​Ohio’s Rent Control Preemption Law went into effect in 2022, which prohibits local governments in the state from passing rent control legislation, a significant victory for the multifamily housing industry in Columbus and statewide. CAA president Don Brunner, who was president of the National Apartment Association (NAA) at the time, gave compelling testimony in support of the legislation. In partnership with our legal partners, Calfee Halter, and the Ohio Association of Realtors, we put together a broad coalition of real estate and business interests and made the rent control preemption law happen in only a few weeks. Read more about the CAA’s efforts here.
