'Biden to Unveil Plan to Cap Rents as GOP Convention Begins' - Washington Post
President Biden will unveil a new proposal in Nevada on Tuesday to cap rental costs nationwide, according to three people familiar with the matter, as he works to assuage Democratic concerns about the viability of his candidacy while the Republican convention gets underway.
據三名知情人士透露，擔心共和黨大會舉行期間他的競選可能性而努力安撫民主黨擔憂情緒的拜登總統將於週二在內華達州公佈全國租金上限的新提案。
Biden's plan — which would need to be approved by Congress — calls for stripping a tax benefit from landlords who increase their tenants' rent more than 5 percent per year, the people said. The measure would only apply to landlords who own more than 50 units, which represents roughly half of all rental properties, the people said. It wouldn't cover units that have not yet been built, in an attempt to ensure that the policy does not discourage construction of new rental housing. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a proposal that isn't yet public.
拜登的計劃——需要國會批准——呼籲從房東手中奪取稅收優惠，對於那些每年將房租提高超過5％的房東採取限制措施，這個措施僅適用於擁有50個以上單位的房東，這代表了大約一半的所有出租房產物業，它不會涵蓋尚未建成的單位，以確保政策不會抑制新租賃住房的建設。這些人以匿名方式發表講話，以描述尚未公開的提案。
