A unit vacated voluntarily leaves control, and its rent may be raised to the level of comparable units within the same complex of buildings. Once re-occupied it is fully subject to the chapter again.
This is not a reset to market: the ceiling is what the rest of the building already charges, so a whole rent roll sitting below market does not lift itself one unit at a time. "Vacated voluntarily" includes an eviction for non-payment, but the provision does not apply where the premises are in violation of city housing standards.
