Create rent review process with Housing Advisory Commission as review board
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no formal process for tenants to challenge rent increases they believe are excessive. The new law creates a system where tenants can request review of proposed rent hikes. If approved, the Housing Advisory Commission hears these cases and can recommend whether increases are reasonable.
