Legislatures in various states are considering laws to restrict large institutional investors from owning a significant number of homes. The National Rental Home Council (NRHC) is a trade organization that advocates for single-family rental operators. The NRHC is focused on combating the negative perception of institutional ownership and the impact it has on housing affordability. However, there is a debate on whether these laws will actually help or exacerbate the affordable housing crisis. Some argue that restricting corporate investment in single-family rentals will reduce the future stock of rental housing and increase rental prices. Others believe that more capital coming into the market will lead to increased housing supply and improved affordability.
