The Apartment Inspection Ordinance has faced repeated delays—postponed in November and December due to concerns about enforceability, insufficient public input, and resistance from industry stakeholders. These delays have left thousands of Houstonians vulnerable to unsafe and unhealthy living conditions. In 2025, Houston had the highest occupancy rate of Texas cities at 89% while experiencing the shallowest drop in rents at 0.8% according to latest data from the Greater Houston Partnership.
