Join Montgomery County DSA at the County government offices in Rockville to rally against price gouging for housing and say that rent stabilization works in Montgomery County. For the past two years, rent stabilization has kept families in their homes. Yet, the county council failed to extend rent stabilization before leaving for their August recess, allowing landlords to massively increase rents and forcing tenants to leave their homes and the county. Since then, tenants have received rent increases of 20% and more, far exceeding the rate of inflation and the cost of doing business. On September 9, landlords and real estate developers members of the council to pressure them for the right to price gouge rents and raise the cost of housing even further, just to pad their own pockets. We are showing up at the same time to say NO to price gouging and YES to a policy that is working families. We need to extend rent stabilization! Speakers will include future council members, other elected officials and top advocates for affordable housing.
