Rent control / stabilization

In Sayreville, a landlord can raise rent once a year, when the lease ends, by no more than the yearly CPI increase, capped at 5% with a 2% floor. Increases need Rent Leveling Board approval, and a unit's first-ever rent is not restricted (§§ 12-6.3, 12-6.16, 12-6.17; last amended 2021). Code text: "From April 1, 2012 and for each succeeding year thereafter (April 1st to March 31st), the percentage increase of the average CPI for the preceding year over the average CPI for the next preceding year, not to exceed five (5%) percent and not to drop below a minimum increase of two (2%) percent."
