According to Jeremy Schwartz, PhD, Professor and Economics Department Chair at Loyola University Maryland, new research-backed evidence for Good Cause Eviction legislation’s benefits has been endorsed by 54+ economists and other experts: “Existing research shows that Good Cause Eviction legislation helps keep families in their homes by lowering the number of evictions. Our study of two instances where Good Cause legislation was passed—California and Oregon; and New Hampshire—does not show a statistically significant drop in housing permits after Good Cause was enacted. Legislators have the opportunity to keep more residents in their homes and create more stable communities without reducing housing supply.”
