housing legislation
Residential property statutes
Housing legislation is law governing residential property—who can build, rent, buy, and occupy dwellings.
It encompasses zoning codes, rent control, fair housing protections, building standards, and tenant rights: The city council passed new housing legislation to address the affordability crisis.
Such laws shape everything from neighborhood density to discrimination protections.
