Rent control / stabilization

No city rent cap, but: increases of 5% or more over a rolling 12 months need at least 90 days' written notice. If an increase is 10% or more and the tenant asks within 45 days, the landlord must pay relocation assistance of $2,900 (studio/SRO), $3,300 (1BR), $4,200 (2BR) or $4,500 (3BR+). No-cause terminations need 90 days' notice plus the same relocation assistance.
