Raises in apartment rent should occur only once every 5 years maximum. The increase should be a maximum of 2% of the present rate for people still working and maximum of 1% for retired Senior Citizens.
Why is this important?
There is an obvious lack of affordable housing facilities specially for retired Senior Citizens in Burbank, California and its neighboring cities. The owners of apartments keep increasing their rent almost every year and are taking advantage of the absence of laws regarding rent control making it increasingly difficult for Middle Class families to find affordable housing.
