    A nice idea, but then they’re also enforcing a defacto 7% minimum, too. I’m lucky, I guess, that my landlord basically forgot to put up rent the last few years.

      Yep and your landlord, nor any other, will ever, ever, ever forget to do that (or decline to raise it) if this passes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
