Real estate group warns rent control ballot proposal could lower property taxes for cities and towns A proposed rent control ballot measure would repeal Massachusetts' ban on local rent control laws and set a statewide cap on annual rent increases of 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. A report by the Greater Boston Real Estate Board and the Tufts Center for State Policy Analysis warned it could “crush” municipal budgets.

@wbur.org : Real estate group warns rent control ballot proposal could lower property taxes for cities and towns. No surprise there - it's what happened last time we had rent control, too.
