Establish 45-day freeze on all rent increases while city creates rent control policy

Richmond currently has no limits on how much landlords can raise rent. The city is working on a permanent rent control policy but needs time to finalize it. If approved, no landlord can increase rent for 45 days, giving the council time to pass the new rules.
