Rent Control Board

A Rent Control Board is a government agency that regulates rent prices and tenancy laws in certain areas. Its main purpose is to protect tenants from excessive rent increases while ensuring landlords can maintain their properties profitably. The board sets rules about how much landlords can raise rent each year, manages disputes between tenants and landlords, and oversees policies related to rental agreements. By balancing the interests of both parties, the Rent Control Board aims to provide affordable housing and prevent displacement in communities where housing costs are rising rapidly.
