Senate Committee Urges Rent Law Extension to 15 Months
Senate banking committee warns that delaying rent controls risks sharp increases of 25 to 100 percent across the country. The report backs a 12 to 15 month extension beyond March 31 with staged increases, eviction controls, and possible state decontrol options as debated in Congress. The measure would allow up to 10 percent increases not to exceed 15 percent total since June 20, 1947, and outlines a two step path for future rent boosts.
