Expansion of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act

In May 2003, the Village declared a housing emergency and adopted the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA). ETPA provides for rent stabilization, limiting increases in rent for units in buildings constructed before 1974. ETPA communities set a minimum number of units in a building to require ETPA coverage. On March 27, 2023, the Village Board approved a resolution expanding the law adopted by the Village in 2003 from all qualifying multi-family buildings with 50 or more units, to all qualifying multi-family buildings with 6 or more units. Additional information regarding the ETPA can be accessed below:
