Ben Taub · Answer

i am actually in contract on a six unit , and i was told its not rent controlled , i called the city and they told me its in fact controlled, and the last time it was registered was back in 2013, the current seller owns it since 2017, so it looks like no one cares about it (until a professional Tennant comes  to court )

does anyone have experience with the city of peterson rent control ?can i make the rent for what it would be like 3.5 hike each year since 2013?
