Rent Stabilization Policy
Summary
Providence is moving toward rent stabilization, which could cap how much landlords can raise rents. If you rent, this may mean more predictable housing costs; if you own rental property, it could limit your income growth. The City Council is pushing the policy forward, so it’s a wallet issue for both renters and rental owners.
