    If you're living in a building containing 5 or more rental units then the maximum cost of living increase is 4% per year. However there are other situations where a landlord can increase the rent by more than that amount. A good site for explanation of the Jersey City rent control law is at GET NJ - Jersey City - Rent Control in Jersey City - Rent Increases
