Rent Control
How does rent control regulate the amount of rent?
Usually, the mayor of the city with rent control appoints a board to administer the law. That board determines how much the annual rent increases will be and whether individual landlords get extra rent increases. Some communities elect the rent control board members directly. Some observers think the elected boards are more independent from landlords.
