City council approves capping annual rent increases, alcohol sales at West Side Market

CLEVELAND — Cleveland City Council approved legislation Monday to make changes to the West Side Market that vendors have been asking for years, including caps on annual rent increases, allowing the sale of alcohol in the market and new lease options.

Vendors will be allowed to enter leases for up to three years with 1-3 year options to renew. Before the legislation was approved, the city did not allow leases for longer than one year at a time. Vendors who previously spoke to News 5 were cautiously optimistic that change will happen, but now with the approved legislation, the change is closer to becoming a reality.
