This is simply about spreading out massive rent hikes over the course of a few years instead of a few months. It gives families time to adapt or move. The allowable increases under this law are very high.

It may not seem justified to you, but to a low income family in a rapidly gentrifying area, it means everything.

All you need to do is say, if you're increasing the rent by more than 7% then you need to give a years notice. That's it.
What’s a year’s notice going to do for anyone that 60 days doesn’t already?
