As capital pours into the build-to-rent sector, Stonecrest officials are trying to tame a surge in rental housing. Stonecrest City Council recently adopted an ordinance regulating where for-rent homes can be built. The DeKalb County city will also require developers to indicate on applications whether residential units in future projects will be rented or sold to buyers. The option to build rentable units will only be allowed on properties zoned for medium-density residential, high-density residential or mobile home park uses.
