Understanding rent control and stabilization can be complex. Rent control applies to residential buildings constructed before February 1947, whereas rent stabilization generally covers buildings built between February 1, 1947, and December 31, 1973. These regulations ensure tenants receive essential services, have their leases renewed, and are protected from unlawful eviction.

The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 brought significant reforms to rent laws, enhancing tenant protections and updating rent regulation codes. Our office is here to guide you through these changes and provide detailed information on how they affect you.

We encourage you to visit our office or contact us for more information on rent regulations and how they impact your rights and responsibilities as a tenant or property owner.
