Rent control will increase your property taxes by an average of $312. That's the result of a recent study by the Fiscal Alliance Foundation.

“The study found that if the rent control ballot measure becomes law, the median single-family home in Massachusetts would see an average annual property tax increase of $312 while predicting a 5.9% increase in residential property tax rates across the Commonwealth.” - The Boston Herald

As residents weigh bringing back the failed policy of rent control, they deserve to understand the potential impacts.

The study from the Fiscal Alliance Foundation, conducted by national tax policy expert Jared Walczak, warns that rent control could place additional pressure on local tax bases as communities adjust to reduced property values and constrained housing markets.

Massachusetts families are already dealing with rising costs. Policies that discourage homeownership while increasing costs for residents risk making the state’s affordability challenges even worse.

If Massachusetts wants to make housing more affordable, the focus should be on removing barriers to homeownership. Not higher taxes.

Activists pushing a 2026 rent control ballot measure talk a lot about “corporate landlords,” but there is no language explicitly directed to “corporate landlords” in their proposal, nor does the word “corporate” appear even once in the ballot question language. In fact, if this ballot question passes, a person who owns a multifamily home and rents it out will be treated the same as a Wall Street hedge fund with 10,000 apartments.

Failed rent control policies have a proven track record of harming cities by discouraging new construction and decreasing the existing rental supply. When developers and owners are unable to fund necessary maintenance, everyone loses.

A Tufts study found that rent control will result in a shrinking tax base, meaning municipalities either accept severe cuts to services like police and fire or raise taxes by at least 10% to close the gap. Vote “No” on rent control.
