What Is Prop 10?

California Proposition 10 is a statewide ballot initiative that would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, a decades-old law which provides guidelines for what can and cannot be included local rental laws. Specifically, Costa Hawkins prevents permanent price caps on rent for housing and exempts new construction and single-family homes and condos from being under price controls.
