The last few cities I've lived in have seen 10+ straight years of rent increases (with a brief drop then rapid spike again from COVID) so... they do already do this?
How so? If all landlords now have a significant new cost, why would they not raise rent to cover it?
This seems to say they cover 80-90% of tax increases through rent increases. And commercial properties should be more competitive.
