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.
As of the current knowledge cutoff in 2023, Nevada does not have statewide rent control laws that limit the amount a landlord can increase rents on existing tenants. Unlike Oregon, which has implemented a statewide rent control policy limiting annual rent increases to a certain percentage plus the consumer price index, Nevada allows landlords to set rental prices at market rates. However, landlords in Nevada are required to provide tenants with a 45-day notice for rent increases if the tenant has a month-to-month lease, or a 60-day notice if the tenant has a longer-term lease. It's important for tenants and landlords in Nevada to be aware of any local ordinances that may affect rent control, but as of the current knowledge, there are no municipalities in Nevada with rent control measures like those found in California, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Washington, D.C.
