Abstract

Some communities have endured the consequences of rent regulations because of the political costs associated with contemplating decontrol. This article proposes a novel solution for decontrolling rental housing markets by establishing negotiable property rights to the ownership of rent-regulated apartments. A market in property rights can protect existing tenants, satisfy landlord desires for deregulation, and provide a mechanism for raising revenues for an affordable housing fund.
