housing regulation

Housing regulation refers to laws and policies that govern the development, maintenance, and use of residential properties. These regulations aim to ensure safety, health, and accessibility for residents while managing urban growth and affordability. They can cover zoning (how land can be used), building codes (standards for construction), rent control (limits on rent increases), and tenant rights (protections for renters). Effective housing regulation balances the needs of homeowners, renters, and communities to promote stable and sustainable living environments.
