What this bill does
The bill would require landlords to give tenants 60 days' notice before raising rent under a lease, such as a semester or four-month contract. Month-to-month rentals and certain low-income tax credit and Section 8 housing are excluded, and rent increases already written into existing agreements would still apply.
