Issue Position: Affordable Housing

Issue Position

Affordable housing and low-income housing have become an increasing concern in Northern Nevada. We passed several bills aimed at tackling this growing issue. Working with all parties -- homeowners, renters and developers -- legislation was passed to provide $10 million per year in tax incentives to build more housing that Nevadans can afford.

A "renters bill of rights" was passed to make sure people, both renters and landlords, are treated fairly. The bill caps late fees at 5% and allows renters if they are evicted the opportunity to go back and collect their belongings are two of the key provisions.
