Proposition 33, titled Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property, and also marketed as the "Justice for Renters Act", was a California ballot proposition and initiative statute in the 2024 general election that would have repealed the Costa–Hawkins Rental Housing Act and allowed localities to enact rent control on single-family homes, apartments built after 1995, and to control rent increases between tenancies (vacancy control), all currently banned by Costa-Hawkins. It would also have prohibited the state from limiting local rent control.[1]
It was sponsored and primarily funded by AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which contributed $47 million of the total $50 million in support funding.[2][3] It was opposed by the California Apartment Association and the California Association of Realtors who contributed $100 million of the $125 million in opposition funding.[2][3] It failed to pass, 62% to 38%, a margin almost identical to that by which the previous two rent control initiatives sponsored by AIDS Healthcare Foundation also failed, 2018 California Proposition 10 and 2020 California Proposition 21.[3][4][5]
