When will Boston have regulations in rent increase rate?

Hi everyone,

I have been living in Boston area since 2018. The cost of life became so high these past few years but the worst part is the increase of the rent (and the price globally, even in Boston suburbs).

I believe everything is said on the title question. I am just wondering if the state is going to do something about that. For example, in QC, they have regulation about rent increase (cannot be more than 1.8-2% every year). Here, I don't see any regulation. Sometimes, your landlord keeps the same rent, sometimes he wants to increase the price by $300/month, which is insane...

As a family of three, we will probably have to leave MA at some point because salaries do not follow this trend =]. What's your thought about it?
