Rents need to keep up with the housing market or single family home rentals will disappear.

Just one more notch in the socialist agenda. They want to control everything and get rid of the free market.

No news we have an affordable housing problem in Bend, so why would anyone think this high of a cap is right??

There are two problems. First liberals in the legislature think they (government) should run eveything and the laws consequences is rents will go higher as owners take places off the market.

The effect of the "unintended consequences" will weigh heavy on this sloppy legislation. End result will be higher rents and fewer rentals available. Good job...NOT!

9.9% is an outrageous increase for most working families. If the rent is 2000 per month, 9.9% is 198 per month. And if it's another 9.9 next year that would be 217 per month.

TOO MUCH! almost 9.9% annually is allowing a maximum of 99% every ten years

That is a Hell of an Interest Rate underwritten by folks living paycheck to paycheck: $99 per $1000 in monthly rent. How does that factor with other reasonable and neccessary expenses? Total not part!

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.
