Q and A with Prop West: Rent Control

Q) I have a rent controlled building and most of the tenants either have no deposit or their deposit is a very small amount. How can I get them to pay more towards their deposits?

A) Per the Rent Stabilization Act, you cannot ask a tenant with no deposit to pay one. If the tenant does have an existing deposit you can raise the deposit annually 3% at the same time you raise the rent.
