@djc apartment communities sometimes offer lower intro rates to new tenants, then increase at renewal. (this idea only really makes sense for apartment communities, where there are standard, pretty much apples-to-apples floor plans.) basically the proposed reg wld prevent that practice, either give renewals at the intro rates or prevent straight up intro rates. (landlords might substitute with “first two months free” for new tenants, but that at least makes clear the longer term resident price.)
