A community-led fair housing group in Columbus is advocating for rent control in the city as rates continue to rise at an alarming pace.

A $50 million affordable housing bond encouraged the development of new multi-unit construction in Columbus, but even if that program were to triple, as proposed, the city may not reach the goal of building 14,000 new places to live annually to keep up with demand. So, many people in the city end up paying a larger portion of their paychecks on housing than they should.

A group of Columbus renters recently banded together to collectively bargain after seeing their rent nearly double under their apartment's new management. Tenants' unions are rare in Ohio, but are they effective?
