Rent raise limits?

My landlord is raising my rent more than 7% for the next year. Is there any state or city limit on the amount a landlord can raise the rent? I'm in Davis Square. Thanks for any help you can give!

Rent control never applied to new development, only to buildings already existing when it took effect.

Rent control dampens rent prices across the board, greatly reducing new development. It's the main reason why we got rid of rent control.
