Is it true, 10% increase law for House rent is expiring soon?

Shocked to hear through my friend, the law passed against house rent (i.e) to increase house rent by 10% every year is going to expire soon and there will be no more rules controlling the house rent.

is it true?. What will happen and what to do? Just be idle as usual.

Despite the law, there are too many cases where the increase asked from landlords was far above that, some cases it was up to 30%. When people facing the situation refered to lawyers they were just told to pay what they are asked and they would have no chance at court.

As if there are any rights for foreigners in this country !!! LOL

nice answer Kelly.

I thought it was March.

I will confirm that once the law expires, it will be renewed along with some safe-guards to stablize rent so that it does not increase as much :)
