How much can my rent be increased each year? The Ordinance provides that the Rent Stabilization Board each year determines the permissible percentage increase, or Annual General Adjustment (“AGA”), that landlords can raise rents for tenants in regulated rental units. Landlords of rent-controlled units, who are in compliance with the Ordinance may increase rents between July 1 and June 30 of each program year by the amount of the AGA (assuming the tenant’s current rent level is at a previously certified Maximum Allowable Rent, hereinafter “MAR”) after giving proper 30-day notice to the tenant, as required by State law. The following are the percentage of rent increases allowed, including all fees for regulated housing services , for each program year since the Ordinance went into effect in August 8, 2010: July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 AGA rent increase of 2.0% allowed
