Annual rent registration by 30 June, and it gates both increases

A rent registration statement is due each 30 June. Since 1 January 2023 a failure to register costs double the annual fee and may lead to the CPI increase and the vacancy-decontrol increase both being denied.

The fee is $50 a year per property plus $10 a unit for a property of nine units or fewer, or $15 a unit at ten or more; a vacancy-decontrol filing is a further $50, and a certificate of substantial compliance from the construction officer is $25 an apartment. What matters more than the money is what non-registration forfeits: this is the one town in the tranche where missing a filing can cost both the annual increase and the turnover increase, so the seller's registration history is a diligence item and not a formality.

Fee per unit: $10
