SB 195 - This act prohibits landlords from raising rent or
terminating a lease in retaliation for the filing of a housing
violation complaint against the landlord. If the notice to
terminate or increase the rent came within 90 days of a housing
code violation complaint, the burden of proof shall be on the
landlord. In the case of a retaliatory rent increase, the court
shall allow the tenant to remit the rent less twice the amount of
the increase.
