Rent Guidelines

Rent guidelines are rules set by government agencies or local authorities that determine how much landlords can increase rent prices for tenants within a specific period, often annually. These guidelines are designed to balance landlords’ need for revenue with tenants’ affordability, by establishing fair and predictable limits on rent increases. They consider factors like inflation, market conditions, and operating costs. Rent guidelines help ensure stability in the rental market, preventing sudden, unaffordable increases while allowing landlords to cover expenses and maintain the property.
