HR 4100 (End Junk Fees for Renters Act) targets multifamily REIT fee income by banning application/screening fees and capping late fees at 3% of rent. While early-stage and unlikely to pass in this Congress, the bill is a clear negative catalyst for large apartment REITs $AVB, $EQR, $MAA, $CPT, and $UDR. Current market data shows these stocks have rallied 5-12% in the past 30 days, reflecting no pricing-in of this legislative risk.
HR4572 (Save Affordable Housing Act) would eliminate the qualified contract exit mechanism for pre-2025 LIHTC properties, reducing liquidity for owners of older affordable housing assets. The bill is in early legislative stages with a single Democratic sponsor in the Ways and Means Committee. Near-term market impact is limited, but apartment REITs with legacy LIHTC exposure face reduced exit optionality if the bill advances.
The Respect State Housing Laws Act (S.470) is an early-stage bill with no near-term market impact. It would eliminate a federal CARES Act eviction notice requirement, returning authority to state and local housing laws. No monetary authorization or direct corporate revenue streams are affected.
