From the date of application for a permit to convert, or until relocation takes place or the application is denied or withdrawn, but in no event for more than two years, no tenant can be unjustly evicted and no tenant's rent can be increased more frequently than once every year nor in an amount greater than the annual increase in utility costs and insurance costs, plus increased operating costs not to exceed 2% a year. This limitation will not apply if rent increases are expressly provided for in leases or contracts in existence before the filing date of the conditional use permit for the conversion.
