More than 40 million Americans currently rent their homes. U.S. renters tend to earn less and have less wealth than homeowners, but setting policies and identifying enforcement priorities to help renters in need without hurting landlords is complicated. This webinar will discuss the challenges facing renters and landlords nationwide, including housing affordability, fraud, barriers to development, and rent control, while exploring potential enforcement strategies for state attorneys general.
