SB 620 - 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 a lease or to 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.
