housing market regulations

Housing market regulations are rules that help ensure fair practices for buyers, sellers, and renters. They include laws on zoning (where buildings can go), rent controls to prevent excessive increases, building codes for safety, and protections against discrimination. These regulations aim to promote affordable housing, safety, and equal opportunity, while balancing the needs of communities and property owners. They are enforced by local governments and agencies to maintain a transparent, accessible, and stable housing market.
