Housing rental assistance in 2023
One notable measure sets a 2% cap on annual rent updates. This means landlords cannot raise the rent by more than 2% at the time of contract renewal through December 31, 2023. This cap provides tenants with predictability and some relief during the year.
Another supported policy extends lease agreements that would end before June 30, 2023. Tenants may extend the contract for an additional six months if they choose. The sole exception occurs when the landlord intends to occupy the residence for personal use by themselves, a family member, or a spouse. In such cases, prior notice must be given to the tenant.
