Rent Stabilization Protection Amendment Act of 2025

As introduced, Bill 26-70 would remove the exemption from the Rent Stabilization Program for units rented to tenants using a tenant-based subsidy. It prohibits the administrator of any tenant-based subsidy from paying an increased rent without receiving proper notice that the increase is compliant with the Rent Stabilization Program. It prohibits agreements to waive the requirements of rent stabilization and establishes the powers of the subsidy administrator.
