Ed, Trenton has a rent control ordinance. The amount of rent a landlord can charge each year is controlled by the consumer price index, which currently is about 3.45 percent. If a landlord attempts to raise the rent higher than that then the tenants should call City Hall and speak to someone in the rent control office and they will contact the landlord.
