Tenants in rent-stabilized apartments are facing an emergency: rents are being increased by 8.9%. Coupled with high inflation, an 8.9% rent hike -- the largest increase in DC history -- make tenants struggle or face being displaced.
On Tuesday, the DC Council will vote on emergency legislation to rollback the rent increases to 6.9% or 5%. We need rent increases to be capped at 5% to avoid displacement and evictions. We know that the difference in these two percentages makes all the difference for tenants' budgets. We're hearing from them every day. ?We must act now to make sure the Council protects tenants and keeps DC residents in their homes.
Call the DC Council TODAY and say: Cap Rent Hikes at 5%!
