AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of Boston to implement rent stabilization and tenant eviction protections. Specifically, it allows the city to regulate rents for multi-family housing units, setting an annual maximum percentage rent increase based on the consumer price index. The bill also provides for "just cause" eviction protections, limiting the reasons landlords can evict tenants. Additionally, the bill allows the city to regulate the conversion of residential dwellings to condominiums or cooperatives, as well as require notification and relocation payments for tenants affected by property demolitions or substantial renovations.
