IRVINE, Calif., July 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A November ballot measure that would expand the authority of local governments to enact rent control on homes and apartments would fail in Orange County if voted on today, according to a June survey of 300 randomly selected registered voters by Orange County Business Council.

/EIN News/ -- The so-called “Affordable Housing Act”—a rent control measure qualified for the November 2018 ballot--faces early opposition in Orange County, based upon a test of the official ballot title and summary as prepared by the Attorney General of California.

Survey respondents were asked: “If there was a potential statewide proposition to expand local governments’ authority to enact rent control on single-family homes and apartments, then would you vote YES, in favor of, or NO, against such a measure?" 42% percent of the respondents indicated they would vote against such a measure, while 39% said they would vote to approve the measure.
