More than half the state will keep rent controls as Huntington and Charleston, along with Wheeling and others, vote to extend or maintain restrictions despite some opposition. Local officials in Kanawha County towns plan continued controls for about 114000 residents, while some communities in Ohio County and across the state move to extend or drop measures as federal rules near expiry.
