Landlords only do renovictions so they can jack up the rates.

That's why I'm suggesting the law should allow tenants to come back at the same rental rate. Or maybe a maximum of 3-5% increase.

Not the stupid increases of 80-150% or more some people see.

I see what you're saying. Essentially, that's a ban on renovictions while still allowing renovations in such a way that prevents landlords from jacking up prices. Seems reasonable.
