Are Major Housing Regulations Possible in a Post-Chevron World?

In light of ongoing and dire nationwide housing challenges, tenant advocacy groups have been pushing for greater action by the federal government. Tenants and organizers are calling on federal administrative agencies to impose rent regulations in federally backed properties, curb discriminatory screening practices, limit the grounds for eviction, and affirmatively further fair housing, among other such policies that would significantly regulate the housing market. The newly formed Tenant Union Federation is leading the charge, having recently developed a national tenant policy agenda on the heels of its successful advocacy for the 2023 Whitehouse Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights.
