In March 2022, the Mayor formed a Rent Stabilization Advisory Committee to guide development of a rent stabilization policy proposal for Boston.

The Advisory Committee will make recommendations to the Mayor and the Mayor’s Office of Housing on strategies to stabilize Boston rents and protect tenants from displacement. 

Members of the public are invited to attend listening sessions to share their thoughts and comments.

This listening session is focused on tenants, but all are invited to attend. The listening session will be conducted virtually. View the presentation prior to the listening session.
