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.
As a rent-stabilized or rent-controlled tenant, you may request that your landlord replace a broken appliance with a new one, and in doing so, you consent to a monthly increase in your rent. You can do this in a letter or a phone call. Many landlords are happy to do this if they can get the increase.
