The map shows maximum annual increases allowed under city, county, and state rent stabilization regulations in place in summer, 2022. Displayed amounts assume that your unit is covered by a rent stabilization ordinance (RSO). Click on your city to see notes about exemptions from local RSOs. If your unit is not covered by a local RSO, the state-wide maximum increase (10%) applies unless you live in a detached single-family home or your building is less than 15 years old.
