Mexico City Mayor Brugada Pushes Constitutional Reforms for Fair Rent Law

Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada has ruled out freezing rents in the capital.

During a press conference, she was asked about the Fair Rent Law initiative she had pledged to submit to the local Congress last week. In response, the city's leader clarified that before presenting her proposal, she would first send amendments to the Mexico City Constitution to the local legislature to strengthen the legal foundation of her rent initiative.

"Regarding the Rent Law, this Wednesday we will first present the proposal that underpins this legislation—namely, constitutional reforms for Mexico City—which we will submit this Wednesday," she stated.

She added: "There will be no rent freeze. As we announced in Bando Uno, what we will present on Wednesday are the proposed constitutional amendments that will provide the legal basis for the Rent Law."
