Yes but most landlords sign a year agreement so technically once the agreement is done you can rent at whatever. This law is basically in place so landlords don't increase rent on tenants say every 3 months or 6 months but it does happen because a lot people don't know the law and are afraid of been evicted.

Personally I've never increased the rent on any of my tenants, if after a year the person wants to stay another year I usually increase the rent by a small amount but nowhere near what market is asking. I'd rather have a good tenant instead of been greedy and increasing rent and getting a bad tenant.
