Pollination is the process of pollen being transferred from the male part of a flower called an anther to the female part of a flower called a stigma. Animals, birds, and insects that carry the pollen between flowers are called pollinators. Pollination is essential to the survival of plants because it is part of their reproductive process. It is equally important for people because without pollination we would not have vegetables and fruits to eat.
DEFINITION of 'Rent Control'. A price control that limits the amount a property owner can charge for renting out a home, apartment or other real estate. Rent control acts as a price ceiling by preventing rents either from being charged above a certain level or from increasing at a rate higher than a predetermined percentage.
Even in non-rent-controlled areas, landlords do have limitations on how and when they can raise the rent, Emanuel noted. Just as you're tied down by your lease, so is your landlord. A landlord can raise the rent only when your lease expires and with the appropriate amount of notice (if you're month-to-month, the landlord could conceivably increase your rent at the end of any month). Unlike rent-controlled areas, there is no cap on the amount a landlord can increase your rent. The exception to all of this is if there's a question of legalityââspecifically, discrimination or retaliation, Emanuel said.
