  The city of Passaic has adopted a rent stabilization ordinance that will limit rent increases to 8% per year, with some exceptions.

The city of Passaic, New Jersey, has passed a new law capping rent increases at 4% per year, aiming to protect tenants from excessive rent hikes. This ordinance, which was approved by the city council, applies to all rental units except those in owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units. The law was introduced in response to tenant complaints about significant rent increases, with some facing hikes as high as 20% to 30%. While this measure provides relief to renters by ensuring more predictable housing costs, it has raised concerns among landlords about potential impacts on property maintenance and investment. The legislation also includes provisions for landlords to apply for exemptions under certain conditions, such as significant property improvements or increased operational costs. This move reflects a broader trend in New Jersey where several cities are implementing rent control measures to address housing affordability issues.
