The Stop Wall Street Landlords Act has been introduced in Congress by Rep. Ro Khanna. The bill would raise taxes on the purchase of single family homes by private equity and corporations.

FFS. How about just deny the purchase of single family homes by all businesses altogether?

As much as I’d like to see that done, I’m sure businesses would just use shell-people to buy the homes.

Passing tax law is firmly in Congress’ remit. Telling corporations what they can and cannot buy is a whole lot stickier. The former is far easier.
