Senate Bill Forces Investors to Sell Rental Homes in 7 Years

A new provision in the Senate’s housing legislation would force large investors that build single-family rental homes to sell those properties within seven years — a move lawmakers say could help make homeownership more accessible but that industry groups warn could disrupt housing supply, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The measure, added to a bipartisan housing bill now moving through the Senate, would require large investors to dispose of newly built homes that were originally constructed to be rented out.
The requirement would apply to large real-estate investment firms and institutional landlords that have expanded rapidly in the single-family housing market in recent years.
This proposal is patently unconstitutional.
