Bill: Housing Rent Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Common Wealth Party - CWP
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 4738
Description[?]:
| The current location of housing is bad and unfair in many parts of the country. In many cities and regions, people (individually and as a family) cannot live in apartments or houses because of excessive prices that do not correspond to the actual value and are simply unpayable. In order to improve the situation, local governments should use rent regulations in very badly affected regions and cities. Local governments should decide when and why regulations are needed. This would be the right way to improve the housing situation. Aida Bat-Elle MP Leader of the Opposition Leader of the CWP |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on rent regulation
Old value:: The government does not regulate rents.
Current: The government obligates organizations representing landlords and tenants to negotiate rents.
Proposed: Local governments decide on housing rent regulation.

| Message | Mr Speaker, The situation is bad and we have to act now. Even if we have different opinions, we have to find a solution. We make this compromise that local governments will only intervene in affected regions, otherwise the rest will continue to function unregulated. With that, the government and also the opposition could agree. A change is very important and therefore I urge all parties to vote in favour of it.

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
