Rent Control Ends Dec 31 Without City Extension
Rent control in Beckley may expire December 31 unless the City Council votes to extend curbs or a housing need is found not to require control. Gordon Skapus, head of the rent control office, notes changes under the new law effective July 1, including expanded decontrol rights for unincorporated areas and stronger enforcement in larger cities. The act preserves protections for tenants and landlords and adds advisory board participation and veteran preference for new housing.
