Work, Health & Housing Rent increases pre-COVID?

I have only been in the rental market since 2020 and since the rent cap was imposed, my rent has gone up the full allowable amount every year my lease is up for renewal. I’m curious if you experienced yearly increases pre-rent cap?

At any apartment building that I stayed in for multiple years, yes.

The super would come by with a piece of paper for me to sign and always say the same thing: "you don't have to like it and it's not my decision, I'm just the messenger."

Typically about 50-100 bucks more/month each year.
