Rent regulation in New York City takes the form of rent control and rent stabilization. Rent Control program, which has been maintained since the World War II, establishes the maximum base rents(MBR) for the each controlled housing, renews it biannually, and sets forth the rent increase cap as 7.5% per year. This powerful program is understood as an exceptional measure to offer the continuous residency for senior tenants who have resided in the rent controlled accommodations for over 50 years. Rent Stabilization program, adopted in 1969, covers the two-thirds of the rented accommodations in New York City. The crucial point of this program is that the Rent Guidelines Board sets the rent increase for 1 year- or 2 year-lease renew and lease agreements each year with due considerations of market conditions. Also, the Owner is obliged to offer renewal of lease, unless there is a statutory reason for refusal to renewal of lease stipulated in statutes. To introduce the rent regulations with little backlash of the market, various factors influencing the fair market price should be considered in the rent cap or the maximum increase, and the legally grounded exceptions should be allowed.
