rent stabilization
Capped lease increases
Rent stabilization is a form of rent control that limits how much landlords can raise rents on existing tenants, typically capping annual increases at a fixed percentage.
Unlike strict rent control, stabilized rents can rise—just not freely.
The term is most associated with New York City's housing regulations: Her apartment is rent-stabilized, so increases are predictable.
