Abstract: Landlord-tenant laws, which regulate the rights, duties, and responsibilities of landlords and their tenants, are primarily enacted by state governments. Resultantly, there is significant variation in the landlord-tenant policies governing the rental arrangements of American households depending on where they live. Given the conflicting results of existing research, little consensus has been reached on how landlord-tenant policies influence renter mobility - a complex topic related to positive and negative social outcomes. This study utilizes data from the Policy Surveillance Program and the 2019 Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey to test the relationship between fifteen common landlord-tenant policies on the probability of a local, intracounty moves among renters while controlling for relevant environmental, socioeconomic, demographic, and familial factors. Multivariate analyses reveal evidence that some landlord-tenant policies do, in fact, have a significant effect on the likelihood of a local move. Secondly, the findings suggest that policies may interact in ways that significantly influence their joint effect on renter mobility.
