Dear [Rep Name],

I am writing to you as a concerned property owner from [CITY], Massachusetts ([ZIP]). The proposed rent control measures would have severe negative consequences for small landlords like myself who have invested our life savings in providing quality housing.

Rent control has historically failed in many cities, leading to decreased housing quality, reduced new construction, and a shrinking rental market. These regulations would make it financially impossible for me to properly maintain my properties, ultimately hurting the very tenants these policies claim to protect.

I urge you to oppose these excessive regulations and instead support policies that increase housing supply and provide targeted assistance to those in need without punishing property owners.

Respectfully,
[Your Name]

Concerns About Rent Control Legislation - From a Property Owner in [CITY]

Dear [Rep Name],

As your constituent from [CITY] ([ZIP]) and a small property owner, I am deeply concerned about the proposed housing regulations that threaten my ability to maintain my rental properties. Like many landlords in Massachusetts, I provide safe, well-maintained housing while operating on thin margins.

Excessive regulations, particularly rent control, would force many of us to either sell our properties or cut back on maintenance and improvements. This would reduce the quality and quantity of available housing in [CITY], making the housing crisis worse, not better.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss market-based solutions that could address housing affordability without the unintended consequences of overregulation.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
