Working Toward a Permanent Rent Stabilization Law

Rent Stabilization Sessions

The Office of the County Executive and the County Council formed a Rent Stabilization Workgroup, made up of various stakeholders that are studying and offering recommendations for a permanent rent stabilization bill. The Workgroup began meeting in July 2023 and will conclude in June 2024. It is jointly convened by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the County Council.

As DHCD and the County Council launched this effort, three virtual sessions were held to inform residents about rent stabilization policies and its impact on both landlords and tenants in communities throughout the country.
If you missed any of these sessions, you can watch them on the links below to gain a better understanding of rent stabilization.
