Unlike its stricter counterpart rent control, in place in cities like San Francisco and NYC, the rent stabilization bill doesn’t place any restrictions on what landlords can charge for a unit after a tenant leaves, in alignment with other statewide rent stabilization policies in place in OR and CA.
