This new measure brought forward for Minister for Housing will make it a criminal offence to increase rent by more 4% a year in certain rental zones. The proposed bill will also give the Rental Tenancy Bora (RTB) the power to initiate an investigation rather than waiting for a tenant to make a complaint.
