A cap on rent increases would prevent landlords from imposing extreme hikes in a short period of time.

RENT IS WAY TO HIGH FOR PEOPLE ON LIMITED INCOMES LIKE S.S.I, S.S.D, AND SENIORS! IT NEEDS TO COME DOWN TO NO MORE THAN $300.00. I LIVE IN MY CAMP TRAILER BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD RENT AND I AM DISABLED.

As a renter I am at the mercy of the landlord uping rent whenever and how ever much they want to. When living pay check to pay check and not getting enough to keep up with cost of living.

Kenneth Swipies

I used to have a friend that had 21 rental houses. He charged 1% above the cost of maintenance, and the house payment. Got the houses paid for, had good tenants.

Landlords have the right to set rent at fair market value.

Cap my investment and I will sell it off and invest someplace else. Rentals will decrease.

Kenneth Swipies

"Cap my investment"? Average person can't afford your rent as it is. 1000 homeless Veterans in So. Deschutes County, and all you want is more money.

. People with one low paying job can't even afford to rent a place on their own as it is. If you give them the excuse PM or landlords will raise It. Rent rates are not sustainable now.

Teresa Parsons

The Government should Not be involved in rent.

John Driscoll

Measures of this sort reduce the supply of rental housing. Rent control produces homelessness.

Corey Strom

Eliminating the no cause eviction could be a problem for many landlords to get rid of possible drug dealers in an apartment setting.

Michael Byrne

Exactly as the article says. I am a landlord and I will be forced to raise the rent every year. I realize why "no cause" evictions would have to be restricted, but N/C helps the tenant!

Josh Shaffer

My Landlord is all ready doing this every year and at 10% its the same amount they are doing. It dont solve anything cause this is all ready being done by landlords

John Nelson

Controlled rents will not add to the stock of affordable housing. Also, the limit currently being debated is quite high and does not provide a solution to those individuals and families In need.

Cara Tapken

Restrictive to investors. Market rent is market Rent. And what if the owner had a family emergency, needed to move into his place but had to pay relocate fees? Landlords will now max every yr

Cara Tapken

No cause evictions...so would you like us to write...you have 6 people living in unit, not on lease and you have caused 4k of damage and have police activity often...ha we cant write that.

Cara Tapken

And that in the end will be worse than the every bbn other yr I see now as prevalent.

Valerie Rhodes Kifer

Too much regulation just decreases the numbers of affordable rentals. Landlords should not be so greedy, but capping rents will cause more problems than it will solve.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
