[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This Act caps or controls how much ground rent landlords can charge leaseholders for properties. It aims to stop ground rent from becoming so expensive that it makes leasehold homes impossible to buy, sell, or mortgage. Basically, it protects leaseholders from being hit with unfairly large bills for the land their home sits on.
