The government found many employers were taking the full amount regardless of actual housing value, calling it a “business model” that exploits vulnerable workers. While employers can still offer housing, they must charge separately and fairly. This change, part of a broader anti-exploitation push, also includes banning temp agency staff in meat plants mid-2028 and introducing staffing agency licensing by 2027. A rent protection bill is pending, aiming to ease the burden as workers face tougher housing markets. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
