United States
As of 2018, 4 states (California, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia have localities in which some form of residential rent control is in effect (for normal structures, excluding mobile homes). 37 states either prohibit or preempt rent control, while 9 states allow their cities to enact rent control, but have no cities that have implemented it. For the localities with rent control, it often covers a large percentage of that city's stock of rental units: For example: in New York City in 2011, 45% of rental units were either "rent-stabilized" or "rent-controlled" (these are different legal classifications in NYC), in the District of Columbia in 2014, just over 50% of rental units were rent-controlled, in San Francisco, as of 2014, about 75% of all rental units were rent-controlled, and in Los Angeles in 2014, 80% of multifamily units were rent controlled.
