Overview: HB 25-1092, Rent Increases by Landlord to Tenant, was introduced in the House on January 23, 2025. The bill has been postponed indefinitely by the House Committee on Transportation, Housing & Local Government.
Purpose and Intent: The primary purpose of this bill was to address concerns about rising rents and the impact on tenants. The intent was to provide some protections and limitations on the ability of landlords to increase rents.
Key Provisions:
- Limits the maximum annual rent increase that a landlord can impose on a tenant to 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower
- Requires landlords to provide at least 90 days' notice before implementing a rent increase
- Allows tenants to terminate their lease without penalty if the rent increase exceeds the 5% or inflation cap
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would have directly impacted both landlords and tenants. Tenants would have benefited from the rent increase limitations, potentially making housing more affordable. Landlords, on the other hand, may have faced constraints on their ability to adjust rents in response to market conditions.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been postponed indefinitely by the House Committee on Transportation, Housing & Local Government, effectively ending its progress in the current legislative session.
