ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF RENT CONTROL
The policy of rent regulation has long been contentious. Most rent control laws in cities now govern price increases for lease renewals rather than new tenants. This may have some advantages for landlords, who can charge whatever the market will bear for vacant flats or, in the worst-case scenario, retain residents who have every incentive to stay put and pay their rent on time. Some arguments against rent control include:
• Rent control affects the supply of housing because landlords would instead convert a building to condominiums or convert it to commercial use rather than comply with a
rule limiting their earnings.
• New rental housing investment has come to a halt.
• Because of the poor return on investment for landlords, maintenance of rent-controlled buildings is often lax or non-existent.
• Housing shortages are created when renters remain in place at a rent-controlled unit for longer periods and eventually, rental units become mismatched to the needs of renters (e.g., a single parent remaining in a 3-bedroom unit long after divorce and children have become adults – that 3-bedroom unit is off the market and not available to the next family that needs it)
The main arguments “for” regulation include:
• Many locations in the U.S. are seeing rental prices rise at a far quicker rate than incomes for middle-income employment.
• Rent control may allow low-income families and persons on fixed incomes to live comfortably without fear of a rent increase
