The housing crisis is not just a statistic; it’s a daily reality for many of us in Rockville. Skyrocketing rents and predatory practices have left many families struggling to make ends meet.

About half of Rockville rents their home and more than half of renters are cost burdened – meaning one unfortunate situation and we could face displacement

But we’re fighting back with a powerful tool: rent stabilization.

Rent stabilization is a policy designed to protect tenants from sudden and unreasonable rent hikes. It ensures that rent increases are gradual and predictable, allowing families to budget and plan for their future. It also provides landlords a fair return. This policy isn’t just about keeping rent affordable; it’s about creating stability and security for our community.
