Can I rely on the calculator and wizard?
The Maximum Rent Increase Wizard produces an estimate from the answers you give and from data we maintain. It does not apply local rent-control ordinances, lease terms, subsidy rules or the full facts of your situation, and its data may lag behind new orders and published figures. Verify results with the official sources shown and with a qualified attorney or your local rent board before taking action.
Do laws change?
Yes. Statutes, local ordinances, emergency orders and CPI figures change often. Each page shows the date it was last reviewed. Check the linked official source for the current text.
What about outside links?
We link to government and court websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or availability.
