Impact of Rent Control on Housing Markets
Rent control policies often lead to shortages in hot housing markets due to holding rents below market rates, causing an imbalance in quantity demanded and supplied. Landlords react by converting properties to condos, selling them, or reducing maintenance. Misallocation of housing occurs, with people staying in unsuitable properties. Decline in property investment affects property values, leading to economic distortions.
