rent control laws

Rent control laws limit the amount a landlord can increase rents on existing tenants. Most states have laws that prohibit local governments from enacting rent control measures. But over 180 municipalities in the United States have rent control measures—and all of them are located in California, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Washington, D.C.

The state of Oregon has a statewide rent control law that limits annual rent increases to 7% plus the increase in the consumer price index.

In Idaho, there are currently no rent control laws in place. The state does not have any statutes that limit the amount a landlord can increase rent for existing tenants. Unlike states like Oregon, which has statewide rent control limiting annual rent increases to a certain percentage plus the consumer price index, Idaho allows landlords to set and raise rents at their discretion, subject to the terms of the lease agreement and providing proper notice to tenants as required by law. It's important for tenants to review their lease agreements to understand the terms regarding rent increases. Additionally, Idaho law does not prohibit local governments from enacting their own rent control measures, but as of the knowledge cutoff date, no municipalities in Idaho have implemented such regulations.
