AI Summary
This bill authorizes the city of Boston to regulate the rent for certain governmentally-involved or formerly governmentally-involved housing in the city. "Governmentally-involved housing" refers to housing that is insured, owned, operated, financed, or subsidized by the federal or state government, with some exceptions. The bill allows Boston to set maximum rents for this housing, restrict evictions, and regulate the removal of units from low-income use.
