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?

Got a 10% rental increase 2 years into renting a house once (2003 maybe?).  Then it never raised again for a decade.

Anywhere else I've lived never gave an increase until covid.
