A new law to take effect in 2020 will bar landlords from raising yearly rent prices by more than 5% plus the cost of inflation. Landlords also won't be allowed to evict someone without a reason or refuse to rent to someone solely because they have a federal Section 8 housing voucher. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
