rent cap
Maximum housing payment
A rent cap is a legal limit on how much landlords can charge for rent or how much they can increase rent over time.
Rent caps are a form of rent control, designed to keep housing affordable: The city imposed a 3% annual rent cap on older buildings.
Critics argue caps discourage new construction and maintenance.
