William A. Moses (1933 – January 3, 2002) was an American real estate developer, founder of the Community Housing Improvement Program, and an advocate against rent control.
[2] Moses took over the real estate company founded by his father, which owned and managed apartment properties.
[1] In 1966, Moses founded the Community Housing Improvement Program, a trade association that represents the owners of over 4,000 apartment buildings in New York City.
[1] Moses believed that "Rent control is the principal reason for neighborhood deterioration" and that "more than 300,000 apartments housing one million people" would have been built arguing that landlords who do not receive enough income to maintain their buildings will let them deteriorate.
