Following Rep. Loudermilk’s (R-GA) reintroduction of the Respect State Housing Laws Act, NMHC joined NAA, IREM and NARPM in signing onto a press statement released by his office. NMHC’s quote included in the statement reads:
“Throughout the pandemic and its aftermath, housing providers and their residents have navigated immense challenges that are only worsened by federal intervention. The legal process for addressing lease violations and non-payment of rent is well established at the state and local levels. Evictions are detrimental to both housing providers and residents. Federal oversight is not only unnecessary, but it causes confusion that ultimately harms residents and housing providers alike and limits housing affordability and availability.” - Sharon Wilson Géno, President, National Multifamily Housing Council
