Stable Rents, Rooted Communities

Rent stabilization policies are essential to protect tenants from being exploited, displaced, or forced to forgo food, food childcare, or healthcare to cover housing costs. This toolkit outlines how local governments can implement a rent stabilization ordinance that covers as many units as possible, keeps maximum rent increases as low as possible, and notifies tenants of their protections under the new law. It also highlights examples of best practices in rent stabilization from localities across the country.
