Badly. There's this thing called the "third party doctrine" which basically says the 4th amendment doesn't apply to information you give willingly to a 3rd party, so the government can just ask the 3rd party for it with

Fine. Increase by 7% followed by an increase of 4.67289719626168224299065420561‬%. The point is that the 12% hike every 3 to 5 years can be accomplished over the same time frame because the max the law allows for is 22.5043‬% in 3 years and

You can still do it that way. But instead of raising the rent 12% in one year, you can just raise it by 7% one year and then by 4% the next year. The tenant still gets below market rent for 4 years, you and can defer pricing work for as lon

I'm saying that game theoretic situation you proposed where every landlord raises their price by a similar amount is exactly what the law is working to limit to a fixed ceiling because the situation you described already exists in enou

They could already do that. Nothing was stopping them from forming an oligopoly or landlords association/guild or whatever you want to call it and raising rent in lockstep by 7% each year. The entire point of the 7% cap is to stop that

No no that's not my argument here at all. I'm not making any argument about whether the cap is enough or needed. The parent comment was arguing that because the law now says that rent couldn't increase by more than 7% they we

There's certain hot zones in cities where the rent can increase by much greater than 7% YoY. In those hot zones no one's wages are rising at the same rate, so that law is the only thing that prevents the people previously living t

The entire point of the law is to prevent you from being able to make those larger adjustments, though. How often do you replace tenants? And what's your occupancy rate? If you're in a situation where you can reliably raise rent 7
