The unintended consequences of rent controls and eviction moratoriums | Seattle Real Estate Podcast
State and local lawmakers are creating a problem that they do not — or perhaps refuse to — understand, and that is the erosion of the single-family rental-house supply. In my more than 10 years of experience, never have I seen so many people searching for a new rental house because the one they live in now is being sold.
The reality is not that the owners of these rental houses necessarily want to sell or take advantage of a hot seller’s market (and it is a very hot seller’s market). No, unfortunately a sweeping trend among housing providers is that they are selling their rental houses due to policies handed down from state lawmakers and Seattle City Hall.
So why is this a problem? Isn’t it good that more houses are available to purchase? Perhaps, but let’s focus on how these policies inflict the most harm on the very people that they would seek to protect: low-income families who cannot afford to buy a home. The common term for rental housing assistance funds is a “Section 8” voucher. This program places strict guidelines on location and bedroom count. In my experience, many voucher-holding families are of large enough size that a single-family house with 3-plus bedrooms is their only viable option. Where are these families to turn when such houses are no longer offered as rentals? The typical 2-bedroom apartment does not work for them.
