Renters in one New Jersey city are getting a major break on housing costs — with annual rent increases capped at just $20 after voters overwhelmingly backed a measure to restore one of the state’s toughest rent-control protections. Residents of Elizabeth, a city just south of Newark Liberty International Airport, voted Tuesday to reinstate a decades-old rule limiting annual rent hikes on rent-controlled apartments to 3% or $20, whichever is less. Elizabeth, NJ, voters approved a measure capping annual rent increases at just $20 for rent-controlled apartments. Jin – stock.adobe.com The measure passed with roughly 68% support, according to unofficial election results, marking a victory for tenant advocates after years of legal battles with landlords and city officials. “I’m heartened that my hometown overwhelmingly voted to approve a measure that ultimately would make Elizabeth more affordable,” Isaac Jimenez, a member of the Freelizabeth campaign committee, told The Post. “Rent control is affordable housing, and most typically how people experience affordable housing. This is just the beginning for an era of tenant organizing and tenant power in Elizabeth.” But there’s a catch: The voter-approved ordinance is set to expire in December 2027, leaving its longer-term future in the hands of city
