Establishes standards for determining an unconscionable rent increase; excludes from public access landlord tenant records in certain circumstances.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill outlines factors courts must consider when deciding if a rent increase is unfairly high, such as the amount of the increase, landlord's costs, and local rent prices. It also states that landlords must prove rent increases are not unconscionable and that certain court records in eviction cases where the tenant wins will be kept private. These rules do not apply to properties already covered by local rent control or affordable housing programs.
