Community Rent Control

Community Rent Control refers to regulations set by local authorities that limit the amount landlords can charge for rental properties and how often they can increase rents. Its goal is to ensure affordability and prevent sudden rent hikes that could displace tenants. These rules vary by location and are designed to strike a balance between protecting tenants’ stability and allowing landlords to maintain their properties. Rent control typically applies to older buildings or specific neighborhoods, promoting predictable housing costs within communities.
