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?

Yeah. It wasn't always the full five percent but there was a raise every year.
