Establish 45-day freeze on all rent increases while city creates rent control policy
In Plain English
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.
