California Cities with Rent Control
Rent Control is government control and regulation of the amounts charged for rented housing.
Rent control, or rent stabilization, is a collection of laws that restrict the rents a landlord can charge and limits the reasons for eviction. The two work together, so that the landlord doesn’t get around a rent limit by evicting the tenant.
