Crime-free housing policies attempt to prevent crime within rental properties by enrolling property owners in a local crime-free housing program, which subsequently permits landlords to use a supplemental lease agreement stating certain activities that could lead to a tenant being evicted. Building on third-party policing strategies, crime-free housing policies are widely prevalent across the United States, with an estimated 2,000 jurisdictions adopting them since 1992.

Landlords across the country have been empowered to act as a kind of police force in the name of crime prevention for decades. How? Through local “nuisance property” laws and “crime-free housing” programs that require them to evict tenants for vaguely defined “criminal activities.”As of Jan. 1, California became the first state in the nation to ban so-called crime-free housing programs. More states should follow suit.
