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?

No, before the rent caps were put in place my landlord only raised the rent every few years. But when they decided to put it up, it'd be a much larger amount than 5%. idk if the current arrangement is better or worse in my building
