Follow us:
The lawful rent for a controlled rental unit is made up of the Maximum Allowable Rent (MAR) plus the rent control registration fee plus certain surcharges.
An annual registration fee and other surcharges may be added to the MAR.
The registration fee and the Clean Beaches & Ocean Parcel Tax surcharge may be waived in certain instances.
Each year the Board approves an increase to the MAR based upon increases in general operating expenses.
